Seems like Conor ran into someone he could not intimidate or irritate so much that he lost his focus.
Khabib appears to have taken the insults from Conor and channeled his anger into becoming a better fighter. And using it as a good motivator.
Given his Dagesti background, is this surprising? It appears to be a 'honor' based culture where insults are not taken lightly and revenge is required.
no points for movie reference?
I don't know which movie you're talking about but I like the thread. I do think wll the circus helped khabib and I think all that shot puts extra and unnecessary pressure on Conor.
MFS_OL_SKOOL -@FrontRowBrian I find all the praise from the media about Kaboob following a ‘code’, being a ‘man of principle’ defending his ‘brother’ disturbing. He’s a fanatic. If he was a white American playing the supremacist game their coverage would be very different.

its probably an honor code based society - a very old approach that much of the advanced world has outgrown. Modern society has owngrown this approach but I still respect it.
Here is an extreme example from history: the 47 ronin. they knew something of honor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forty-seven_r%C5%8Dnin
Graves of the forty-seven r?nin at Sengaku-ji
The revenge of the forty-seven r?nin (???? Shi-j?-shichi-shi, forty-seven samurai), also known as the Ak? incident (???? Ak? jiken)or Ak? vendetta, is an 18th-century historical event in Japan in which a band of r?nin (leaderless samurai) avenged the death of their master. The incident has since become legendary.[1]
The story tells of a group of samurai who were left leaderless (becoming r?nin) after their daimy? (feudal lord) Asano Naganori was compelled to perform seppuku (ritual suicide) for assaulting a court official named Kira Yoshinaka, whose title was K?zuke no suke. After waiting and planning for a year, the r?nin avenged their master's honor by killing Kira. In turn, they were themselves obliged to commit seppuku for committing the crime of murder. This true story was popularized in Japanese culture as emblematic of the loyalty, sacrifice, persistence, and honor that people should preserve in their daily lives. The popularity of the tale grew during the Meiji era, in which Japan underwent rapid modernization, and the legend became entrenched within discourses of national heritage and identity.

"Outgrown"? You mean our world's gone retarded.
no.
here an honor based society is associated with taking justice into your own hands as opposed to deferring to the state judicial system.
in that sense the honor based system isnt a great approach for modern society
