“At UFC 229 in Las Vegas, Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated Conor McGregor by submission in order to defend his UFC lightweight title at UFC 229. One McGregor tapped out, Nurmagomedov refused to win with grace. Instead, the Russian fighter spit on McGregor as he was walking away.”

Not a notion they fight again.

1) Khabib wont get licensed

2) Conor was hammered tonight, wasn't even close. Not even a little.

He was hammered indeed but feel like he was hammered in a wrestling match as opposed to a fight....Not sure if that makes sense..

Not a big fan of MMA at all but always interested to see the occasion that is a big McGregor fight. Disgraceful scenes, genuinely shocking really that a fighter can conduct himself like that. Finding it hard to have much sympathy for McGregor however. He has disrespected so many fighters this was probably bound to happen at some stage in his career.

It was a very interesting fight aswell, shame what happened. the different styles made it a good watch.

He launched himself at danis and whoever else was in the vicinity to be fair, and I'd be fairly sure he's getting stripped.

Sure he is, just like after the bus incident ? :rolleyes:

Dana is creaming his pants right now at all the money he's going to make when these 2 fight again.

we want to see a rematch about as much as we want to see mcgregor and mayweather rematch. conor was schooled big time tonight. he has lost the hunger, featherweight was more his level.

Nothing beats a Conor McGregor thread for showing just how Irish people hate to see other Irish people do well
Its quiet sad

Love seeing the Irish do well, take for example the O'Donovan brothers, what an amazing example of two Irish athletes vs Mcgregor and not just how he behaves but how it influences the crowd that follow him.

The man is a clown, he's now filthy rich but still a clown and I don't see why I need to support his embarrassing antics just because he's Irish. Respect comes in different forms and needs to be earned.

I thought he landed swinging. Hard to tell from the rubbish phone footage really.

He jumped feet first at Dillon Danis.

Camera angle didn’t capture it, fan footage from the crowd on twitter got it. Looks bad.

Yeah making it so that he's possibly never allowed back into America again is a great set up for a rematch!

If Conor isn't banned from the US, Khabib won't be either.

Khabibs training partners on the other hand, they're off to fight on M1 Global cards for the rest of their lives.

I'd normally agree with you, because we have a track record of it in this country. However Conor isn't the usual Irish success story. Personally I think he's turned into a deeply unlikable character. I'd supported him over the years, and on a strictly sporting level I'm disappointed to see him beaten last night. But his arrogant, insulting personality have went from a type of clever, profitable WWE routine, to a genuinely unpleasant character trait. He's now the type of ridiculous comic-book villian that people are going to enjoy being beaten and I can assure you it's not just Irish begrudgers that feel that way.

Because their religion is posionous and the enemy of the world? Agreed.

I suppose proper MMA fans would have predicted fight was going that way. Never saw a fight like that before - never saw a guy just want to pin you to the ground so much...I don’t think I’d be staying up for Khabib fights - always seemed in control...What there anything Mcgregor could have done?

Nothing. He traps your legs, drags you down and just goes to work. It's just a mauling.
It's McGregor striking that surprised me, it was so poor.

There aren't many professional grapplers or MMA fighters who wouldn't do the same to Danis if they had the chance. He's a bottom feeder.

He was getting hammered trading punches as well. Two years out of the octagon and it showed big time.

Was impressed with mcgregors defense to the takedowns and ability to survive on the ground as much as he did but he didn't look to be at his best in the standup, seemed sloppy, not sharp + controlled like in diaz/alvarez fights. Its like he just said feck technique just go after the guy for whatever reason. Could have lost some of his reflexes from the layoff and not training as much so that was the chosen gameplan. Oh well.

Taking guys down and smothering them. Boring as hell. I'm not an MMA purist. I like an entertaining fight. Like Tony and Anthony.

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.

McGregor and a lot of his fans don't get that the way McGregor goes on isn't an act when some other people do it.

Part of the reason why Conor is so wealthy is even people who hate him will stay up until all hours in the morning hoping to see him get his ass kicked.

Yeah, he should stick to fighting lads that are smaller than him.

Well for one you got outraged when Marcos suggested that at the end of the third Khabib had won all three rounds when it was perfectly conceivable.

Outraged, lol?
I said Khabib did nothing in the third. I stand by that. I reckon the stats back it up.
He was up 2 rounds with a probably 10-8. I also said that on thread also. I think that's fair tbh.l

First time seeing Khabib - not really sure what could be done - he won’t really engage with and just tries to get a guy on the floor - I presume he’s done this to the 27 other guys....Very frustrating to fight I’d imagine...Looked like a fight maybe for the purists/technical folk...
