re: UFC 229: Khabib Nurmagomedov (c) vs Conor McGregor

based on that new angle Conor threw the 1st punch

conor definitely threw the first punch in the octagon stuff. he also threw another punch after it was all separated.

i really dont give a shite. glad noone got seriously hurt. yeah it was awfully stupid of khabib but i dont think he just decided to do it out of nowhere. i hope it comes out what conor's team said to make him think jumping out there was remotely worth it.

but frick it. its over, noone got like KTFO or anything. it was far less damage than conor shattering that bus window with khabib and them in it, which conor is still being sued for by Chiesa

Also UFC doesn’t want a guy they can’t market who can be beaten.

I was excited for Ferguson be Khabib

Now will it be Connor vs Ferguson for interim?

People downplaying his actions by comparing what he did to Conor attacking the bus. Or making excuses because he was verbally provoked. This is going to be very bad for him.

You are right that some guys mentioned the provoking, good point.

My overall point in the entire thing was that what Conor did was worse and more dangerous, and I think that is a pretty obvious point to be honest regardless of how this plays out.

There isn't a commission overseeing what happens when dudes are on a bus but that doesn't mean Conor's actions weren't just as bad.

To be fair, that crank was from a human gorilla, he probably thought his jaw would dislocate or his neck would break. I’ve seen the jaw dislocation before, not good.

I honestly think the guy currently at 55 that can give khabib the best fight is Kevin Lee.

They aren’t seeing both sides objectively

Hard to understand. They both did dumb shite. Our only contention was Conor was stepping into uncharted territory with a currently warrior culture. Scary and not smart. I’m trying to keep religion out of this, those folks are nuts. I was genuinely concerned for Conor and his family when I made my post. Lots o dumb folks in the UK as well that are pro khabib.

connor realized after he caught khabib good on the chin a couple times and khabib kept coming forward this was a different animal from the ones he dominated in years past.

suspend khabib and strip him but banning him for life would be dumb.

Oh, and who was the idiot announcer that said when Conor was getting pummeled on the ground thought it was a strategy for Conor to wear the guy out. That was the stupidest thing I have ever heard during a fight. And I have seen a lot of fights.
