    Looking back the Mayweather fight is the fight that has changed Mcgregors life financially but also seems to of been a detriment to his mma career based on last nights performance.

    It wasn't embarrassing, you could argue he done better than any of khabibs past opponents regardless of the end result. He does seem to be slipping though, not calculated and sharp like in some previous fights, seemed sloppy and lacking technique.

    Iaquinta took his punches and lasted 5 rounds. And apparently he is a bum?!?

    The fight was dreadful. Conor off the pace, and Khabib's style is awful to watch.

    Best thing for the UFC and Conor is a few 'gimme' fights to restore the hype around him, and then another tilt at Khabib, Ferguson or whoever the champion will be.

    Incorrect, the entire mess began when Khabib had a hissy fit and jumped the cage to go after Danis. Just imagine how nice things would be for him right now if he'd had he a modicum of sense and maturity.
    His pay, for starters......

    Marc Goddard is probably sitting somewhere smiling to himself. What goes around comes around.

    Tony and khabib is the fight I'd like to see next. Not a rematch with McGregor.

    And what would you like to see next from McGregor?

    he needs to earn the right for another title shot.

    Tony v khabib would be a very intriguing fight.

    I was really disappointed when Pettis had to forfit, that was simply an amazing fight. I never seen two men enjoy fighting so much, it was kind of disturbing lol

    I must be seeing things differently...

    Ferguson is nothing great. Awkward, slow, heavy on feet..

    Khabib is stronger and will get close, smother him and take over...

    Why would there be a rematch?

    Conor got absolutely mauled. It's the equivalent of man city beating Liverpool 6-0 later on today.

    Im pinning all my hopes of redeeming this weekend on that NOT happening

    Edit - sorry, question probably best asked in fight thread

    Probably has been mentioned already, but this guy Danis...any idea what he said that caused a lot of this commotion?

    Was Khabib going to go after someone regardless, or is it what that fella said that pushed things over the edge?

    Agreed. He looked as hittable as ever last night, even accounting for quick return. He's got stamina and will in spades however, may stand to him if his ground game could hold out, which it could very well do until championship rounds.

    Dustin or Max. McGregor was well beaten he doesn't deserve another quick go at the title.

    That's a bit selective. He won a chess match against Roger Mayweather in January so that actually makes it 3 wins out of 5.

    He just parroted some of McGregor's trash talk. "Tomorrow Conor is going to spark this backwards c**t" and things of this nature.

    I don't know what he said post-fight but whatever it was, it does not justify Khabib's actions.

    Khabib legitimately endangered the crowd with his actions - not just Danis and co but a lot of surrounding attendees who were not members of either camp. A brawl like that can go south very quickly.

    Yes, he incited a riot. Forget Dana and UFC, the U.S. authorities need to make sure he gets dealt with firmly...

    Can honestly see Khabib just take down Mcgregor within first chance he gets and maul.

    No way he stands and bangs imo. If he does have an iron chin than Mcgregor is in for a long night.

    :D

    He dived in feet first at Danis and missed. He got lucky that he didn't click a steward or other front row spectator as he'd be lose every penny he made tonight. And money he deserved as the best LW in the world.

    I think it kicked off before this. Conor was reacting/defending..it was chaos, chaos created by Khabib..

    Yes, McGregor struck a guy, but separate to the bowsy climbing the cage to sucker punch Conor...

    More than likely the sucker punch guy was reacting to his friend being hit. But as mentioned above, Khabib started the whole thing.

    He wasn’t reacting to his friend being hit. He was climbing in before Conor threw a shot...

    I'm talking about Conor hitting the guy while they were on top of the cage. The red shirt lad only jumped in after that.
