Anyone know how long Tony is out for?
I'd love to see Conor v Tony in a number 1 contender fight in August. The winner faces Khabib in November.
I love how Khabib said he wants to stay active and he'd like to fight in NY in November. That's what he calls active? A 7 month break.
A november fight for khabib lol and him knowing connor is pencilled in to fight in September . If thats not a duck I dont know what is. He should quack instead of mumbling in Russian.
think you are reading too much into that. I just watched khabib's post fight interview
http://mmajunkie.com/2018/04/khabib-nurmagomedov-to-conor-mcgregor-ufc-223-win-beg-for-title-shot. ;
I think he is open for a fight with anyone, at least that's how it comes across. He also says anytime, but that is not true cos he has ramadan which he does not fight around. But september/november time would not be affected by ramadan. He also says that conor has to "beg me" which I think is just show. GSP isn't much of a shout out either, when Khabib says himself he does not have to return and that he admits GSP has no reason to return. Also, GSP according to Ariel says khabib has unfinished business
So it looks like it will be conor v khabib in Sept/Nov IMO at given what we have so far, assuming conor's court appearance does not jeoradise that. where will it be vegas IMO. there is also the money issue the 2 wil have to agree...
A pity conor did what he did tho. I will definitley support him less. It just was not necessary. I liked that interview with Khabib. I liked how he was a bit humble and how he said he did not want to let being a champion change him. He even went onto say that might be more about how people change around him.
why did conor do the bus melee?
1/loyalty to Artem
2/raise his(and his and Khabib's) profile
3/get suspended/get out of contract
I think it was all 3 above, but I am sure 1/ was the most important reason I am not sure. he's a complicated game.
On 1/ what a loyal friend. But even Artem probably thinks he went too far judging by his face when he saw the dolly hit the window.
On 2/ UFC are milking it and will continue to milk the bus episode if they do promote the fight.Result will be more money.
Conor may turn alot of people against him that were for him but overall I think there wll be an overall net increase, which will mean more Money/PPVs
On 3/ tho. Why have the UFC never stripped Conor? I mean actually come out and stripped him? They always just say someone else is champion. Someone mentioned earlier on here that if they strip him, he could possibly get out of contract. Can anyone expand on that?
I wonder what the conversation was like before they landed in New York. Did conor say, he would look after any legal ramifications/costs for them? Or are his minions not that clever to even have that discussed? Or is it just an unwriiten rule in the pack? Or maybe this attack did go too far. But interesting of the videos I saw of the event the interesting quotes for me that I heard conor say was "Chill" before they went down the lift, "Smash the glass" just before cian crowley broke the front windscreen, "lets get out of here" and "woo-hoo" after the damage was done. He does not sound intosicated in all them bits at least and the Police mugshot records corelates/corroborate with that. maybe all this is just aother reason why JK gave him the notorious name. By the way I am interested to know what JK has to say on the matter. Whatever he says publically, privately he must think it is absolutley too far. reminds me of how fergusson used to publicly always defend his players, but what he said privately would have been interesting. Did anyone see Romeros comments on the event he was more of the opinion that we should try and help conor so that he does not do this again. I know some will say he is beyond that. maybe there is a philisophical question there about correction/rehabilitation. Or how do you help people know they were wrong. You can only do so much. You can bring a horse to water but you an't make them drink it. I think conor knows what he did is wrong. In the heat of the moment I am niot sure. He may just not really care and the fact that he has more money in the bank that level of not caring has risen, cos now he has some money to make the consequences go away. crazy/sad world.
Also, does anyone know who it was trying to throw the fence at the bus pretty sure that was not conor?
wow that turned into a bit of a brain dump

I think the UFC are lining up Khabib v McGrgeor in Russia for around September. No chance they are going to have a UFC event there and not have their Russian champion defend his belt on that card. Also, Kavanagh tweeted this earlier:

Anyway, here's an interview with Khabib saying that Artem almost cried when he confronted him (jump to 3m22s):
