he was only standing up in the third because Khabib eased up and took a break, which wouldn't have happened if McGregor weren't tired.

McGregor had at best a puncher's chance. His short career is built on beating the odds a few times in a row to look better than he was for a while, even after losing a few to far worse wrestlers than Khabib, who is on another level like Sakuraba was.

Is that a new vodka comrade ?

Dagestanis are fighting for their independence. Khabib is less Russian than McGregor is British. One of the reasons for this brawl is supposedly that McGregor insulted him and his religion by offering him a whisky.

I thought McGregor did o.k. after being out for 2 years. If he didn't have the worst cardio of any non-heavyweight ufc fighter, he would have won by ko in the third. Nate Diaz should invite him to accompany him on his daily rides and 4/km pace long runs.[/quote]

Well, there are many ethnic groups within "Dagestan." If independent that country could and should just splinter into 20 smaller countries. They should really just drop Islam. At some point it was forced upon them but they should realize they really have more in common with Europe than with the Middle East and the other disgusting muslim countries.[/quote]

I don’t think so. Watch some videos of Khabib at home. Everything about that place and the people looks a LOT more like Afghanistan than it does France or Germany. It’s not even close.

Don’t mess with those people.

The hype is mostly manufactured, but the fight in the octagon is very real. Very brutal.

White let’s the face of the UFC go on islamophobic rants against an opponent and then gets upset when his racist golden boy gets beat. That’s what happened.

Dana White is loving it.

No, stupid idea. If the Fight was closer, it would be great for a re-match.

As it is, just chaos with some idiot Russian holding/stripping a belt and no one to face him.

Khabib has already said, once he wins he's leaving the UFC. Mostly it's turned into professional wrestling, but instead of writing a script, they just play on the insecurities of the fighters and manipulate them into acting on their worst impulses. I have a hard time believing Dana White is shocked at what took place after the fight. He's just looking for a way to manipulate Khabib; Hold his purse but say it's in the hands of the Nevada State commission. And I'd hardly call Khabib a Russian, nor would most Russians.

You think what happens inside the ring is fake playtime pretend?

Don't buy any of this BS about....bad for the sport, bad for.......

Hell no, it was great for the sport, fight fans love violence.

Exactly, UFC pay per views have been on a downward trend. This is the boost that they needed. Before khabib wasn't that well known as Connor has been they're golden goose. . . who hasn't been hatching anything of late. Now everyone is talking about khabib. This is excellent for the sport.

Free streaming is a big reason for the downward trend of PPV buys. Who wants to pay $60 to watch when you could go to reddit and find an HD stream for free?

I watched it with a friend at a sports bar. It was packed. Lots of fun. Great atmosphere. Great fight.

Too late, the stupid colonial countries already messed with Afghanistan, and just like Vietnam, they followed each other's failures with incredible stupidity.

just to nip the idiots in the bud about Muslims and Russians, 5% of Russia's population is Muslim, maybe more, it's been that way for centuries and they're cool with it. The trouble gets started by imported Salafism.

And the main point of this thread is that Conor tapped out. You should be discussing how helpless he was, tied up like a roped calf. He'd have been out in the 2nd if the ref wasn't letting him cheat.

Give me a brake. The UFC is just saying that. They don't actually mean it. Connor McGregor has done stuff just as bad and the UFC hasn't done nothing more than slap his wrist. Heck, look at Jon Jones behavior outside of the octagon as another example.

There you go, smart. Another good option is getting a bunch of people together at a friends house and pitching in $5 for the PPV and booze. I feel bad for the consumers who don't know any better, just think of all the parents that have to decide what bill to postpone to shell out $60 for this crap so their kids could watch.

Khabib is a big strong dude and McGregor just got thrown around. McGregor has always been a striker and Khabib has a big freaking dome. If they rematch I don’t think McGregor can knock him out and will ultimately have to try to win by decision. I think McGregor should go back down to featherweight and stay there. That’s where he dominated.

And so it catches up. Khabib didn't punch anybody, he merely jumped at a guy. Isn't punching a guy worse than jumping at him?

I did see the fight but I did not bother with the build up or sh!t talking.

What did McGregor say about Islam that was so bad?
