Yeah this is just the full embracing by UFC of the worst and most over the top parts of pro wrestling. Dana deserves to get loads of poo poo for what went down after he was all like "Would you want to be in the McGregor business" after McGregor went tilting at a bus and then just turned around and promoted his return in a big ol superfight.

Now whatever thin veneer of "we don't want you to cause spectacles and do over the top heel antics to disgrace our sport" is out the window, there's been plenty of scummy things that they let slide before but bringing McGregor back is that last push in that direction in my view, so of course if I'm Khabib I'm going to do even crazier heel poo poo to make me even more famous and get paid more down the line. Like, he's a symptom but he's not the disease in my mind. Not that he's blameless in the assholery, but there's enough upside to it in building up your brand that I think a lot of people in his shoes would be willing to scumbag it up.

We'll see Dana act shocked and apalled just like Rogan was on commentary, fine or suspend Khabib (not like a suspension matters much if he gets hit with 3 months and it takes about that long to line up a fight anyway, usually longer), maaaybe strip him of the title but I doubt they go that far, and Khabib's just going to enjoy being an even more famous and in demand fighter.

And that's all if Khabib and his crew just went into business for themselves and did crazy poo poo no one knew they were going to do, it wouldn't take much to convince me that some UFC people were encouraging something like this to happen, if not Dana then someone on the more corporate-y side of UFC, because that crazy carny spectacle is going to draw in more eyeballs in general and from a pure business perspective it's going to raise profits.

I don't really disagree apart from the fact that I don't think Khabib was acting out, just being a Dagestani guy who hangs out with literal war criminals.

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Supposedly he was gonna retire anyway, but now he'll come back in a year because it'll make him more money than he's made in his entire career to date combined.

Of all the bizarre poo poo, I'm still amazed that Khabib droppped Conor like that in the standup, never would've expected that to happen.

You don�t have to be sympathetic to anyone. They�re both awful.
