The past history is a problem, 100%. However, when it comes down to Saturday, Khabib receives the blame. Once he jumped out of the cage to attack Danis, everything after that fact was reactionary, not expresssly deliberate.
Conor did throw the first punch technically at the man on the fence, but the situation was out of control at that point and that was only Khabib’s fault. At that point, Conor reacted to a situation where he and his friends were in danger.
Thank you. That's pretty much exactly the way I feel about this.
From what I gather, Blue suit guy was the spark the set it all off by being the first to actually touch someone. When he bumped Danis, causing him to shift his attention from Habib to suit guy, Habib was watching the whole thing and that is what made him fly outta the cage.
Blue suit guy was the first domino. He was also the first guy the cops put cuffs on.
