Even as a Conor fan,I knew that Khabib would be his toughest fight by far. I always thought that it would take the best Conor to compete with Khabib.
We didn’t see the best Conor. He seemed off from the first press conference all the way through. His body didn’t look as cut as usual.
His demeanor was different and his bullshit billionaire walk didn’t even look the same. During the fight, his left didn’t look as sharp or tight as usual even from round one.
Having said that, I’m not sure that the best Conor could handle a guy like Khabib. Khabib is a bigger man who has to kill himself to make 155. Conor found out that he can’t grapple with a man like that for long before gassing. Khabib looked the same as usual and did what he does and won the fight. convincingly.
What happened next was a joke. Like Bigfoot when he beat Overeem, Khabib looked to yell at and try to humiliate Mcgregor when he was down and then he made the brilliant move of jumping feet first into the crowd as his Dagestan brethren jumped Conor in the cage. This was obviously planned. When Khabib jumps out, the others jump in.
Conor has no blame for the aftermath. He did his talking to try and hype the fight. These clowns don’t know the difference between entertainment and reality
It’s for this reason that he won’t be allowed to entertain for a long time. Khabib has become a liability. The UFC can’t trust that he won’t go crazy and hurt a fan. If he did, the lawsuits would cripple the UFC. They have to be able to trust the fighter.
Like most immature idiots, Khabib fucked himself up. He has the mind of an adolescent and it’s proven time and time again. Even his last statement should tell you something about him (“ My father is going to smash me when I get home!”). As far as his sucker punching friends, they lost their careers. They don’t make any money for the company so they are gone. Khabib is lucky that he won or he would also be gone.
That was some dumbfuck, teenage virgin shit and it will get dealt with. Conor refused to press charges on anyone in Khabib’s crew or they would be going to jail like he did for the bus incident. They all have him to thank.
To the haters, it was a fight. Khabib was better. Conor did some things that he can possibly build from. He stuffed some takedown attempts and had him backing away a lot. Other than that, he was dominated. It doesn’t mean that he sucks and if Khabib has lost, it wouldn’t mean that he sucks either.
Conor will get a rematch because he makes money for the company. And if the Diaz rematch teaches us anything it means that Conor will be improved. He may not win but he will be improved.
I’ll always be a Conor fan because he is a great entertainer and he knows the difference between entertainment and reality.
I am not a fan of foreign Muslim fighters basically spitting on our American traditions. They have to obey the law here or they could lose their visas. The big difference between the bus incident and this is that Khabib put the audience in danger and the authorities will NOT have that shit.
I think that Tony Ferguson should be named champion when they strip Khabib and he should fight the winner of Nate vs Dustin for his first defense. Conor should take a top ten fight or Al Iaquinta (who Conor will easily knock out) to work his way back up. Conor needs to go back to living like a fighter 100 percent of the time if he wants to get his old form back.
Khabib and his “brothers” need to take the suspension time and grow up. Learn about how to exist in the USA. With their bully attitude, they will get shot here. I pray that nothing bad happens to any of them and that they learn from this.
As for the guy who suckered Conor from behind, how can that faggot be proud of himself for that gay ass move??
