From a friend who was cage side: "Dillon kept talking poo poo right after Khabib just tapped Conor. Khabib said something like shut your mouth and Dillon said something like make me. And that's when Khabib jumped over"

The only option to me seems to be after school detention for both of them

I didn't watch the fight and I don't care about the post-fight pandemonium but lol @ anyone who bet against the undefeated Russian Muslim from the Caucasus. That guy could punch a T-72 tank out of commission.
Especially given that Conor has been on a 2-year hiatus from MMA most likely spent doing lines of blow and drinking lovely whiskey. Conor looked like he forgot how to MMA.


LOL the way people act when they know they're gonna get held back/restrained.

You probably don't know her, she goes to a different school
As a very casual fan this is the most attention I've paid to the UFC in a couple of years. I'm really excited to see that Ferguson fella fight again and I'm very happy Khabib beat the piss out of Connor. I'll absolutely watch whatever fight Khabib is in next and will continue to passively follow UFC until then.

What I'm saying that what happened last night sells and I'm quite certain that more than one person within the UFC organisation knows this and will continue to run things in a way that promotes such shenanigans.

This. Khabib potentially raised his drawing power with what he did after the fight.

Also can we talk about Dominic Cruz' terrible commentary throughout the fight? The gently caress was that all about.

Does anyone know why Shaun King is really really trying to vindicate Kabib so much on Twitter? Like he seems oddly overly invested in the matter.

Conor's a lovely racist person. I'm also assuming no one has told Shaun that Khabib is also trash.

Jumped in the crowd after he beat the poo poo out of McGregor for 4 rounds and attacked one of Mcgregor's friends, causing a giant brawl in the crowd and the cage. Both Khabib and McGregor had to be escorted out by police.

It was fun to watch tbh

Edit: he's also in with a bunch of shady Russian characters

At a lot of American sporting events they do a big 50/50 where people buy tickets and half goes to a pre-selected cause and the other half goes to whoever has the ticket that gets drawn

i obviously haven't read whatever it is that shaun king wrote but it's not that odd to me that he would take an interest in all the actual racism surrounding the fight rather than khabib or conor just being all around pieces of poo poo.

Xenology is an unnatural mixture of science fiction and formal logic. At its core is a flawed assumption...

that an alien race would be psychologically human.

in general it probably comes down to a combo of that + conor's poo poo being much easier to know about for an american
