Just thinking about what to do with all the money I don't have.
Was looking for more info on Khabib, found this:

http://www.mmamania.com/2017/3/3/14803720/khabib-nurmagomedov-hospitalized-pulled-from-ufc-209-mma

That URL, jesus gently caress. Pretty misleading when the article is inconclusive.

e: Well gently caress, it's not misleading anymore.

10 minutes. If Khabib isn't in or near the building right now, he won't make it.

They really need to sort the dehydrating on weigh in day issue before it results in someone dying.

Not UFC, but that unfortunately already happened: http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2015/12/11/9891258/one-championship-fighter-dies-following-weight-cut-mma-news

I think the early morning weigh-in is part of the UFC's response to that. To give fighters more time to rehydrate and be healthier.

depends how fast hes moving .. for example if he was moving at 600mph or even he could probably easily make it from miles away

Nurmagomedov was released from the hospital, but the UFC's doctors told the UFC to cancel the fight.

No.

The greatest moment in my life was realizing that I didn't need a belt to be happy.

another terrible aspect to this: conor specifically said he didn't want to fight khabib because he doesn't show up so often. well, would you loving look at that

in 5 years khabib will be 38-0 and still somehow never have fought for the title at any point

khabib is going to do the classic vitor style "actually i won the fight that i lost" mental transformation but about getting constipated, or a kidney stone, or from getting an infected rear end from never removing his underwear

Well, Khabib can probably forget about any dreams of a money fight with Conor now. McGregor was skeptical about a fight with Khabib because he wasn't sure he would show up to fight, and this doesn't help.

I woke up this morning thinking "drat...no one pulled out yet, this card is going to stay together and be awesome!". Not I almost don't give a poo poo even with other good fights.

So deflating.

also Khabib sucks I hope he's forever stuck in prelim limbo
