    Eh?

    What's wrong with that?

    It's sport mate. People celebrate sporting victories. Why is that so bad?

    I think you misunderstood my point. The people I was mentioning were disappointed that McG won so quickly, because that ultimately would mean the pub would close earlier, they didn't really care about the actual result just what kind of night out they would get from it.

    I mean if you are a McG fan then a fast KO victory is the best possible result with McG picking up little /no damage.

    My apologies, I know what you mean now.

    People enjoy a good scrap though. Give me the drama of McGregor vs Mendes over the 'blink and you'll miss it' Aldo fight any day.

    It was an amazing knock out but less entertaining to watch overall.

    People are entitled to believe what they want and people are allowed dislike them for their beliefs. Nothing wrong with that.

    Having been a person who was judged by others because of what other people think my belief is, I can tell you it sucks.

    Can’t fault McGregor and his loyalty especially to Artem.

    It’s a great trait in people and a lot loose sight of people who have always been there for them especially once the money comes.

    I am not disliking Khabib for what I think his belief system is. The views he has expressed are rather disgusting and his ties to a dictator is also questionable. It would suck if people disliked Khabib "just because he is muslim" but I don't believe that is the reason at all.

    I really took a dislike to Khabib after his Instagram rant giving out to the youth of Dagestan for attending a Rap concert and how he seems to treat the female physicians after a fight. I watched Khabibs documentary in Dagestan and you don't really see many women around do you? They all seem to be hidden.

    I don't care what religion he is but anyone who acts like him is not goign to attract many fans outside his home country. I do think the majority of neutrals will be cheering for Conor, not because Khabib is Muslim but because Conor is more relatable.

    How does he treat them?

    Their place is looking after the home. That's about it.

    Ya probably not the best idea to say no to a dictator, I mean unless being alive isn't your thing.

    Plus not like McG would be taking pictures and talking about how great Putin is, or bring up how great he is in press conferences, na that definitely wouldn't happen.

    He doesn't let women treat him after the fight or am I mistaken? I am fairly sure I saw a woman go over to check him out and he shrugged her off.

    He said all this on one of Ariel's old shows. He comes from different culture, crazy mountains. Women only raise kids and cook dinners. This was the same in Ireland not so long ago. I don't think Dagestan is as strictly with women as other Islamic countries like Saudi

    Crazy to think that the last Bad Blood with McGregor was two years ago for the Diaz II fight (Anthony Bourdain narrated it, time flies).

    Anyway, another Roddy Vlog is up..............

    Conor donates money to sick kids whilst Khabib makes fun of homeless people for his own entertainment.

    Says it all.

    Inappropriate joke deleted.

    Mod: It may have been deleted but should never have been posted in the first place.

    Conor has done lots of shady /stupid things himself so that comment is a bit unfair, not much balance in it

    Mods, please dont shut down reasonable conversation on Khabibs beliefs just because there is one or two trolls.

    Hey don’t blame me for making a little joke. Debates on belief will be shut down due to political correctness and to protect the over sensitive.

    I think it more that it's an MMA forum and religion should be discussed elsewhere.

    It's more it's got nothing to do with this forum. Go back to AH and post on one of hundreds of threads there.

    Christ, welcome to fight week...

    As for embedded, it's like as if Conor isn't giving the crew much at all. I know he said he is doing minimum media this camp but was expecting a bit more from embedded fight week.
