Not really the rabbit hole for this thread though I suppose.

Oh no, it is. You'd drop UFC for a guy acting like a kid but you're ok with War Machine whopping Christy Mack's ***. Or you continue watching the NFL knowing about the Ray Rice and Josh Brown issues.

In the three cases that I mentioned, someone was injured, yet you continued watching those respective sports. Conor McGregor acts like a spoiled brat that has never been disciplined and you're ready to drop the sport. This is how I interpreted your post.

So he singlehandedly took 3 fights off the card.

What he did was terrible as it impacted other people and cost them fights. He better pay them their show & win money.

Khabib started it all by acting like a big man when he put his hands on Artem when he had the numbers. Then when Conor shows up, he hides because he only has his criminal manager around.

It's no rumor Conor is using drugs, but he's out of competition, so he can do it as long as he stays out of trouble with the law.

Khabib surrounds himself with terrible humans, criminals, etc.



The UFC has a big image problem. They need the Conor & Khabib fight but both of them are problems. Conor knows he has all the power and unless he crosses a legal line, he is fine fighting or not fighting. Khabib is a big risk with all the people around him. I don't see how they can promote him with his management choice and gym/club owner/sponsor. Anyone with his management is an idiot outside of the cage (including Frankie).

PS, I would love for Khabib to miss weight and either be pulled or win the fight. All these stupid decisions are killing the UFC.

Khabib said Conor should have came on the bus lol. Then he put out some tweet telling Conor to send him his location and he'll come. But yh it's no secret Conor does drugs and no secret Khabib has these russian mob dudes in his crew. They just need to fight already. Instead of pulling that silly stunt, Conor should have just tried to get a fight with Khabib in the octagon.

I was so psyched about this card 6 days ago.

Or if the fight is a draw. You could end up with Tony being the only champ.

We're looking at suspension, fines, civil lawsuits for Conor. I mean this incident could sideline him for the rest of the year.

I don't follow MMA as closely as you fellas so.im asking honestly, does Connor even want to fight again?
He acts outraged when his belts are stripped from him, but it didn't seem like he had any interest stepping into the cage again.
From some of the comments I've read here, it seems like this whole episode was a drug induced temper tantrum that had very little to do with Connor looking to regain his titles.
