UFC 229: Khabib v McGregor

Re: UFC 229: Khabib v McGregor

As far as I'm concerned, Dana let all of this happen. Leadership starts at the top and Dana let Conor get away with the bus incident, the press conference shenanigans, all the terrible things Conor said about Khabib...

I'm not condoning anyone's actions at all, especially Khabib's team. Pretty much everyone involved on both teams, including the fighters, are pieces of ****.

Everything eventually goes back to the top. Dana has the title of leadership but he's far from a leader. He's just as much a POS as everyone else from both sides. He let this get too personal and go too far.

Yeah but how does Tony defend against khabib wrapping his legs up ...that's the thing ... Watching khabib fight just shows you how much is lacking in UFC 3

Re: UFC 229: Khabib v McGregor

Aside from the shenanigans after the main event, this card was very entertaining. The last second KO from the Black Beast was one of the best come from behind flash knockouts I've seen in MMA. Tony Ferguson's recovery against Pettis (after being away from the octagon for over a year) was also great.*

The main event went down as most people were expecting it. Personally, I was hoping Conor would KO Khabib, but on paper it just looked like the typical "good wrestler/grappler will trump a great striker" scenario. But in this case, it wasn't just a good wrestler but a great one. Conor got absolutely*mauled.*

From here, I want to see Khabib fight Ferguson. And Conor to fight Diaz. I don't think Conor would fare any better against Khabib in a rematch.

Dana White said Conor McGregor received his check from the Nevada commission. They're withholding Khabib's check #UFC229

I loved it Khabib did the honorable thing. I just can't wait to see Dana's hypocrisy

Im assuming that’s to fine him.

It’ll likely be peanuts compared to what he made

Doing the 1 thing Conor didn't do, don't go to the black. Stay in the middle and his cage takedowns don't happen. Conor chased too much.

3 of his teammates were also arrested.

I suspect he could be charged after they review the videos.

Yeah, I love Tony, he was on TUF when we were getting into the sport so we're a fan. Not a fan of this persona he's pushing. Glad he's able to back it up for the time being. Saying 'you guys have no idea...' over and over is annoying.

Sponsors would probably appreciate it if he sat down though lol.

I like Tony. I can't understand or relate to anything he's saying, but I like the originality.

FOTN: Ferguson-Pettis
POTN: Aspen Ladd & Derrick Lewis

Dana says Connor didn't want to press charges, the 3 that were arrested have been released, as he understands it. The guys who jumped in the ring 'will never fight here'.

Can't speculate on a future fight or rematch until after things are figured out by the authorities, for all he knows Khabib and members of his team could have difficulties w/ their passports and stuff after this.

Nice to see Pettis and Ferguson get 50k.

Re: UFC 229: Khabib v McGregor

Dana reiterates responding to an Israeli reporter, if any of the 3 arrested were under contract w/ the UFC they will no longer be fighting.

The Nevada State Athletic commission is taking lead on everything as expected. It probably didn't help that the governor of Nevada was at the fight and had to flee the building...
