For how long? Conveniently the same time it would be between fights?

Is this like the double technical foul in basketball so that the ref doesn't have to be controversial even though one side was clearly the aggressor?

Both are probably medical suspensions.... in Mcgregor's its almost a certain.

Conor's has to be a medical suspension.
Time to strip Khabib and have Ferguson/Poirier for the title.

Mma experts... With Khabib threatening to leave ufc, would he still be bound to whatever contract he has?

If not, why don't he and Connor just both leave and have giant fight in like a year or so and take all the money.

Starting a sanctioned fight league isn’t that easy

Also a lot of rumors that something weird happened to Conner before the fight

Some saying he was hurt/sick before but didn’t want to back out and others saying some from Khabibs camp made death threats against conners son.

Pretty sure the only thing that happened was people kept coming in and out of Conor's room and interrupting his preparation. I'm sure the same thing happened to Khabib because of all the animosity between them and the UFC wanting to avoid what eventually happened anyway.

Conner was certainly off to start the fight. Probably just ring rust, seems like everyone keeps whispering about stuff more nefarious tho

I heard khabib’s cornerman dropped poison into the the whiskey that Conor was promoting at the pre fight press conference.

yes they had multiple meetings prior to the fight with both camps to make sure they keep that shite in check.

Bc khabib doesn’t care about money. He already told the ufc to keep that 2 mil(“choke on it” as if I remember correctly). You can’t buy his pride and integrity. Now, Conor on the other hand...

I get that mcgregor tossed the first punch at that guy but at that point the fight had already started and that guy had no business in the ring.

I might be reading this wrong I haven’t paid that much attention to every twist and turn of this shite show.
