    I'm confused what you think the intent of the bus attack was if not to harm. Wasn't he trying to get him to come off the bus?
    It was meant to build the fight up. Conor wasn't going on the bus. Khabib wasn't getting off the bus. Conor went overboard and threw a dolly, which the glass ended up breaking. That wasn't planned to happen.

    The whole thing was to just build up the bad blood. Conor was gone for a long time, so it gets people excited.

      woulda coulda shoulda....
      And out come the wolves. DC loses to Jones and his whole legacy is put into question.

      Who knows if Mendes would have won? but I can tell you he didn't.... Khabib is legit an undefeated world class fighter. he's close to 30-0. with big names to his record. it's insaaaaane.

      Conor was an incredible fighter, he might still be, but he didn't show it this fight. But he was, his rise was legit.
      He had a choice between Frankie or out of shape Mendes. Frankie was constantly calling him out after Conor beat Aldo. He never defended any titles because the risk reward wasnt worth it. Frankie/Max are problems for him, same with Tony/Khabib.

      He took the Khabib fight because Khabib is the champ and he slapped Artem lol.

      Now dont get me wrong. Connor is still a great fighter and imo the 3rd or 4th best LW but his hype was unreal. I’m not questioning Conor for getting smeshed by Khabib that was inevitable. But he has struggled against a mediocre LW in Nate Diaz.

      If Cormier was out here struggling to beat someone like Pat Cumming I would question his legacy too.

        Frankie could have fought Conor but he had rib injury

        People call Conor a pos, but while Conor is helping people in the real world Khabib & company are trying to oppress women and making homeless people his play things.

            I'm just mad this whole thing is overshadowing the fact that Khabib dominated Conor last night.

              There was a point I think in the second round where Khabib has Conor on the ground and Rogan says "Conor's talking to him here" and then I think Cruz said "That's Khabib talking, he's not saying very nice things". Need the translation, I imagine it was pretty much like speech Oberyn gave to The Mountain right before their fight ended. Someone mentioned it but man, it's incredible to be able to manage your anger like that and still maintain focus.

                One day he might.
                Lots of older legends get.... old.
                look at BJ Penn.

                or Silva, or Fedor, etc.
                time comes to us all.

                  If there was a fracas after the fight I'm thinking a LOT of people would be questioning Conor. It is indeed a shame but Khabib caused the focus to shift based on what he did afterwards.

                  Everything I read says Khabib really was the dominant man in that fight.

                    I've watched the fight over today and I know for sure at one point in that 2nd round I heard Khabib say "lets talk now" and then blast him with a hard right hand. Guess Joe thought it was Conor and Cruz corrected him. But man that 2nd round Khabib really beat the breaks off him.

                      Well I suggest conner find a new way to build up the fight because this obviously didnt turn out well for him..how exactly is conner getting to assault people with dolly, spew racist nonsense,and start fights at press conferences in the name of building up a fight..he has to be the only fighter who is praised for losing 3 of his last 4 fights..tapping out twice,and getting praise for lasting until the 4th rd..of a fight he got dominated in..at some point he has to back up the trash talking...I have now seen him tap out twice when the going got rough...

                        I'll echo what others have said; if this was Connor jumping over the fence and attacking an opponents camp, I don't think anyone bats an eye.

                        Connor got absolutely out-Connored last night; lost the fight, was beaten standing up, got smushed on the ground and even got usurped with out of ring shenanigans.
                        And now on Twitter he's asking for a rematch.
                        Why? He was absolutely dominated. Wasn't even close.
                        Connor couldn't beat Khabib even if he was allowed to bring in a truck cart.
                        Excellent points and he also got dropped when both were just standing up going at it which is conners game...khabib literally fought conners fight the 3rd rd also conner couldnt do anything with him...as we say his mouth d wrote a check his behind couldnt cash..

                          Khabib surprised me with how fast he was on the feet also. I din't think he would be able to match Conor with speed, but he was fast as hell last night. Conor probably didn't even see that overhand coming. Amazing performance by Khabib though. Silenced the doubters and showed that he is the true LW king.

                            First off both are caucasian, he didn't say anything about his race.


                            The UFC setup the bus attack, they let him in. He didn't assault anyone with a dolly on purpose. That just delayed his close to $50 million payday.

                            Conor talks all the time to get into the other fighter's head. Words don't matter and if you listen to what he says and let it get into your head, it's your own fault. You can't doubt that his talking has made people watch and he has made a lot of money from it.

                            Does Conor cross the line, sure, but who cares. You don't have to like him, you can think he is scum.

                            Fake fighting at press conferences has been done for a long time in fighting. It's to sell the fight & get in the opponent's head.



                            Most of what you see from Conor is all an act. Casual fans won't know that. I don't like all of it, but at least he backs it up in the cage.

                            What happens outside of the fight is all build up. Khabib though went and ruined the his win by attacking others after the fight with physical force.

                              Conor is a clown show at times and the bus incident was ridiculous but the biggest difference is you can't have fighters going into the crowd to start a fight putting the paying customer in harm's way. Everyone can claim the two incidents are the same but they aren't.

                              I noticed someone claiming that the dude climbing the cage when Conor was and getting punches thrown at him by Conor was doing so to stop Khabib and I got no idea how you came to this conclusion. Khabib was already in the stands so he certainly wasnt going to be able to stop anything by that point anyways.

                              Conor was prosecuted for what he did and Khabib will be as well. Regardless of the outcome of that it won't change the *** whipping he put on Conor. No need for a rematch, honestly Conor looked shook heading into this fight, kinda like he didn't even buy into his own ****, and he was dominated from start to finish. Hes a good fighter, hes just a one dimensional fighter and it showed yesterday.

                                That goes to show that its real bad blood between them. Khabib really doesn't like Conor or his team and he took everything that was said personal. Some ppl are just like that so if you're gonna say crazy stuff whether its for promotion or not, you gotta be prepared to back it up. This isn't the first time something like this has happened in MMA. Reminded me of back in the day when Mark Coleman fought Shogun for the first time in Pride. He took Shogun down at one point and Shogun broke his arm. They rang the bell to stop the fight but Coleman threw the ref aside and was still trying to get at Shogun. Then Shoguns corner stormed the ring and attacked Coleman. I remember specifically Wand sucker punching Coleman and then getting taken down by Phil Baroni. It didn't spill into the crowd, but the whole thing turned into a brawl in the ring. Here it goes if anyone wants to see it...
