I am a genuine fan of Conor’s and have been for a long long but if Khabib had gotten off that bus that time, McGregor and his mates would have done a lot worse to him than a sucker punch.

I’m not condoning the events post fight in any way but you reap what you sow.

John he wouldnt in my own opinion, he's a mouth. Especially the likes of Cowley.

Anybody defending Khabib here needs a long hard look at thems loves. Imagine if Conor did the same.

Again, nobody has done so.

Was Conor doing it for show when he threw a 10kg metal trolley at a bus?

They're both idiots at this stage.

Yes, this is what I think. Conor did it for show and publicity in the safe confines of the arena, but for Khabib, this is now a blood feud.

There's plenty of "McGregor had it coming" type comments

People took the sport plenty serious before the McGregor brigade arrived. It wasn’t just starting to be taken seriously.

You realise the sport existed before Conor? It was still pretty damn popular.

What is this rubbish.

I remember Kent Shamrock. Thing is he was a professional wrestler and people weren't so sure. It's only in the last six or so years that the sport has started to grow massively. This stuff, like the bus thing, is gangster stuff and will set the sport back a long way. Once(the bus) was bad but twice is a serious issue.

Maybe it was purely the fear of takedowns but Conor's striking was very underwhelming, especially after having spent time on just his hands and fighting floyd

No. Conor was just being a scumbag. That's who he is.

Im not sure the people here realize how bad this is for the sport, Dana, will not be happy, you dont want this sh1t, there will be absolute war in vegas tonight.

Those saying dana lapping it up, couldnt be further from the truth, he has worked tirelessly to get the scumbag "cage fighter" image away from the sport, went to every state and reporter in the country to have it taken seriously and respected, and educated them on the merits of mma, he has spent so long and has done, to his credit, his level best to get the image of the sport right, which is why you see so much respect from fighters in there.

As someone said earlier, tonight has set the sport back years, their biggest event in history. It is a serious shame it ended the way it did.

White lost any credibility when he ran to McGregor after the bus incident to set this fight and base the entire promo on that incident that he called "the most disgusting incident ever in the company".
He's rubbing his hands at the ppv buyrate for the rematch.

McGregor done now. at least in the 1st diaz fight mcgregor hurt him. McGregor didnt lay a finger on khabib. No round 2 coming

I think he actually took a round there but ya, Khabib overall lit hit him up on the feet a comprehensive victory. Aside from all the bull**** Tony vs Khabib is still the dream match up

Disgraceful scenes.

In most other circumstances I'd consider it a publicity stunt but it's going to end up in a riot outside with a load of scobies soiling the reputation of our country.

The religion of peace showing its ugly head again. Cage fighting - seriously;??

Conor was as dignified as could be in defeat and I'm far from his biggest fan.

Hope UFC put serious sanctions on his pay.

The guy in red who sucker punched Conor should be going straight to jail

Wasn’t just him. I think another dude in black took a swing at him first.

So, in summary: Khabib won handily. McGregor's tactics were poor.

Liam McPoyle

Scummy antics all around but mcgregor has made his name with scummy behaviour. You reap what you sow.

How Soon Is Now

Is there gonna be a press conference?

Nurmagomedov by Decision

It's bad enough doing it backstage but **** me it couldn't get any worse than doing it during the main event of a PPV while the world is watching live.

There should be serious consequences to this for both Khabib and the other figher who jumped McGregor.

Talk to Joe 😂

He got completely out-knackered, pure gold.

Looks surprisingly calm as people are leaving.

I'd doubt it... Dana might make a statement.

If he had gotten off that bus he was getting hammered. The amount of Adrenalin, rage and coke those lads were high on, it was gonna be violent.

Did McGregor look 100% to you guys from the off?

Besides the arrogant game plan ��

I noticed that, didn't see any fire there, almost a glazed looked on his face. Never seemed to get into the fight at all. I dunno. He's finished now in mma. Crappy way to end it on a tap out.

Stupid actions all round. Bottom line is dont f$*k with the russians. McGregor clearly thinks its all words in the build up and part of the game. Not to some.
