    There's a difference between an individual wanting his star to wane and the actuality. He is more popular than ever. That's just a fact.
    He's more famous than ever. So who wouldn't want to watch his down fall!

    As for Mystic Mac - why is it they call him that again?!

    Like the last five times they tried to make that fight? :)

    Doesn't have to be.

    Khabib will be suspended - they won't wait. Tony Ferguson would beg for the conor fight. That's the money. They are prize fighters.

    They'll suspend him for a month or 2, so he'll be available for the next big card.
    Neither Tony or Khabib looked to walk away with injury.

    In Fergusons interview after his fight, he said something about fighting the winner of the next match and that he doesn't care with one.

    Fight Khabib again when he his back from suspension. Retire in the sunset with hundreds of millions.
    Mcgregor will age faster than Khabib. Think of how much drink and drugs he'll have done by then. Khabib will have learned more and will only beat him more badly.

    I think McGregor would be foolish to take an immediate rematch. With some work I think he can beat Khabib but it won't be easy and it will take a bit of time. I think he should take another fight or 2 first whilst making improvements specifically aimed at a second Khabib fight.

    If Mcgregor lost though, he'd be bound to throw a tantrum.

    Not a chance. Khabib was the better fighter on foot too. Let's not forget that the best punch in the fight was thrown by Khabib. That was harder than anything golden boy ever threw. The ref was ready to end it there and then.

    You're delusional

    Of course Conor can beat him. Khabib isn't indestructible. I think Conor fought a poor match by his standards. With a bit of work who knows what can happen.

    Maybe they could do another face off, and assess who looks more intimidated. But an actual fight? McGregor would be crushed. The poor lad has endured enough brain damage from this one.

    He needs a win just like the Diaz situation, 2 losses on his return would just confirm peoples suspicions he lost any hunger and motivation to still be one of the best MMA fighters around.

    I'm still surprised he came back, what he did in his few years at the UFC was phenomenal, that will never be forgotten. He always said he'll quit before he takes too much damage, if he approaches fights like the last one that'll be sooner than later. Khabib/Ferguson can inflict serious damage on him.

    I think conor was scared for the first time in his fighting career, he looked very nervous. But now he has been in there with Khabib and didn't suffer much damage he would be much more at ease in a rematch. He should be able to put up a better fight.

    But Khabib knows get him down in the first and tire him out and it will be the same result.

    Did anyone else see the footage of McGregor telling Khabib it's only business at the end of the round?

    It's misreported - I think he says 'Fight Business.' - because Khabib was claiming to the ref McGregor was holding illegally. Some outlets are reporting McGREGOR says 'It's only business.' and as some form of apology. Nonsense reporting.

    Good fight against Pettis. Wasn't impressive though. Took a lot of punches off a fighter past his best.

    Tony lost to Brown. Faced a past his best Barboza. Beat a young Kevin Lee.
    Tony takes punches in every fight, that's how he fights. How was Barboza past his best? What does Kevin Lee being young have to do with anything? Who on earth is Brown? lol

    You're stretching to try and discredit Tony's wins a bit man! Tony has been smashing top competition for 11 fights in a row.

    God I thought these threads and Facebook were bad.

    Those Irish newspapers MMA fighting have put up are mortifying. Talk about clueless.

    Which round? I did notice Conor trying to touch gloves at the beginning of the 3rd but Khabib was like f5@k off!

    Sorry meant - Johnson.

    Everything else is self explanatory - if you don't know you're not qualified to talk about it.


    This is gold - 'Tony takes punches in every fight, that's how he fights.'

    Yeah, fighters fight to get hit. Wonderful game plan. If you're saying he eats punches to get in punches - I think Tony is a way better fighter than that.

    Conor didn't say 'business' and khabib didn't say 'guess so'

    You can't tell what conor said but there was definitely no 'it' or 'business', khabib said 'lets go'
