Agreed 100%
Disagree with pretty much the entire article, especially the last sentence and the comparison to Conor jumping the cage to get in Aldo’s face.
Khabib looked WAY worse than the UFC after the fight.
And Khabib exiting the cage and criminally attacking people not involved in the fight is, at best, a silly comparison to Conor’s Aldo moment.
Khabib should be stripped and fired. Sucks too, I would have loved to see if he could have put his trademark mauling on Ferguson. We may never find out...
You would have to go through serious amounts of mental gymnastics to not agree 100 percent with this.

Don’t worry, they’re not gonna fire him. You thinking that is simply stupid.

what about the fact connor tried to jump out of the cage and threw the first sucker punch to a guy that wasnt even looking at him? Should that be punished??

That guy wasnt jumping over the cage to shake hands with people.
Very well said, 100% agree.

No he wasnt at all, and totally in the wrong, and should get punished. What I was saying is connor is JUST as wrong. He also tried to leave the cage, he also suckered someone. Yet you mcnuthuggers are just to busy thinking about your hero then to see what is right infront of you. In my opinion if khabibs purse is going to get held so should connors. IF khabib gets suspended, connor should get the same amount of time. Khabibs corner men ( especially red shirt guy ) And danis should get fines and suspensions to if khabib and connor do. IF anything other then this happens, and only khabib and his corner get punished, then it is 100% clear to me that the NSAC is even more scumbag then I initially thought.

Khabib had already jumped into the crowd and attacked Dillon at that point.. it looked like Khabibs corner man was going to join the fracas when Conor swung at him on the cage.

ok so because khabib already did it it makes it ok for connor to? So he is in the right for doing the exact same thing because a guy did it first? And yes it did look like he was going to join, does that excuse a sucker to the face of someone not looking? Great logic.
Conor jumping out to get to Aldo isn't close to the same.
Of all the bad blood feuds, how many ended with the winner of the fight jumping out of the cage to start more fights? Even after Conor fought Nate, they were ok.
Why does this article act like pre fight shit talk is a new thing? How many people, post fight, win or lose, has Conor talked bad about? He shit talks, they fight and make money, then it's over.
But I do like the article blaming everyone and everything else for Khabib jumping out of the cage like a dummy.
good post
Good article
We overlooking the time Conor ran into the cage at Bellator too?
Can't disagree, sadly, McGregor has been getting away with murder for years now.

This. And lol at elias saying its our islamophobia in the reactions. Just wow... also the third time?
On point.. great write up Elias. Dana so quick to condemn Khabib, but when it was Conor McGregor acting like a thug he had shit all to say. The hypocrite even used it as promotional material..smh. Allowed McGregor to cross the lines with Aldo without any repercussions or warnings, cut open fighters and attack a bus, yet here they are bitching about a couple punches being thrown? When it’s their golden egg being bullied it’s suddenly a problem? Conor took part in the melee too, he’s not innocent. He punched one of the dudes first, and when the guy in the red shirt hit him, it was in response to an attack that McGregor had already made. Fuck the double standard. UFC is corrupt af! Dana is a bitch for the way he handled that.. didn’t even let Khabib leave the arena with the strap he had EARNED! If the roles were flipped, and Conor had won the fight, I can guarantee without a doubt that Conor would have been belted and had an interview regardless of the situation. Fuck the UFC for being a corrupt league. They are not a fair organization, it has become the Conor show with management not even hiding their bias for the leprechaun.
Well done OP!
Basically 100 % accurate.
