I don't understand some fans saying "McGregor deserved it" are fans so mentally retarded to not understand that he is creating hype to sell fights.

He went way too far with the trash talk this time. He was attaching Khabib's family, country, religion. And there was consequences for that.

Not Dana after all!

The fight was over once Conor got clipped. Had no pop in his shots after that. He made mistakes and was overconfident in my opinion. Didn’t give any respect to Khabibs striking.

But as I feared, Khabib is some animal. Just relentless. I stated here over last few days that I thought people were exaggerating how bad Khabibs striking was. It’s not technically great but his wrestling really helps it.

Not sure if I want to see Conor in there with him again. He should prob walk away now and enjoy his life and be proud of what he’s achieved. One of the best to ever do it in my opinion. Have had many a great night and trips to watch him fight. Win or lose his fights were always box office.

He's fought wrestlers before. Didn't stop him then. If you had that line of thinking you'd not throw a punch incase someone knocked you out

He fought one wrestler who was at a level even remotely comparable to Khabib. That was Chad Mendes. And they are very different wrestlers.

But your right he wasn't shy of throwing kicks or punches, he went in there without fear and that's impressive as fuxk.

I wasn't having a go at you, or Marcos or anyone who'd typically sway against McGregor. You guys are honest, reasonable posters.
There's been a silly amount of posts since the fight ended. I guess neither of us seen them all. I've seen some nonsense.

And as I said, my comments aren't exclusive to reactions here. The internets a big place.

The bus thing, lobov, McGregor grasping at obscure insults in press conferences, it's just a performance, why would they buy into it?

His words are just that, words. The maturity of these guys hitting a drained and exhausted fighter whom they have never met personally and know nothing about is unbelievable.

No the bus thing wasn't just selling the fight. I think overall his hatred for khabib was less than khabib for him by the end of it, but he has a part in it all

Ah Conor had not hatred, if anything he was just trying to wind himself up to have something to fight for. I don't think he believed 90% of what he was saying, he just wanted to get khabib to waste energy and get angry and sell the fight. After all of these fight McGregor is jovial with his opponent and probably would have had a good thing to say about khabib had he not lost his mind.

It's all games

all three cards were identical:

29-27 Khabib,

10-9 K
10-8 K
10-9 C

McGregor won a round for the 'it wasn't even close' contingent.

Tony was just on the after show. Got a notification from the app saying Dana was up next.

Must be a serious delay to YouTube so.

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.

The O'Donovan Brothers are embarrassing to me and I'm not even a big Conor fan.

Their achievements are not even comparable.

Does BT post fight show the press conference??

spix

Anyone looking for a breakdown of what happened afterwards, 3 of khabibs teammates tried to attacked Conor in the cage. The first guy took a left from Conor then backed up. 2nd guy in red came from behind and nailed Conor with 3 punches before being restrained. 3rd guy then came at Conor but took a left and tried to take him down whilst holding the hat that got knocked off his head. He took 2/3 after just going through a fight. Can't hate on him.

I thought he was doing well with the take down defense. Striking (the one part you think he'd do well) was not up to par, fight went down hill for Conor after Khabib's clip. Ring rust is real but Conors too big for a tune up so went straight into the deep end, bad move.

The conference feed is gone?

Judges are idiots to be honest.

It wasn't even close. He was getting mauled.


That said, as I said earlier today, there's no "getting found out" here. He lost on the night to one for the pound for pound greatest fighters on earth.

On another night he could have starched Khabib in 20 seconds.

At this level it's the best man on the night. They're all as close to eachother as makes no difference between Tony, Khabib, Conor and the next 3-4 fighters.

I didn't think he threw anywhere near enough kick, I wonder did trying to get kicks out of his instincts for the duration of the Mayweather preparation upset his usual rhythm.

Fair enough. Let's agree there will always be morons on both sides. Enjoy what's left of your BBQ, I'm off back to the scratcher!

Really puts into perspective the time that McGregor was squaring up to Woodley trying to fight him after Eddie. Imagine how that would’ve gone....

Kicking vs wrestlers can be a pretty dangerous. I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd come out and thrown nearly no kicks.

Yeah that was a fight he should never have been after! Clearly thought he could take any wrestlers he probably fancied his chances vs DC too!

Reganio 2

Think people saying oh mcgregor Kabib 2 will be massive for Dana are underplaying the effect the city will have on it.. if the hospitals are full up with Irish and Russians tonight and god forbid a fan dies due to punches or something like that. Vegas will not go near them again no matter how much money is thrown around the place. Also I doubt the fight will happen anywhere other than Vegas so really hope things are calming down over there.

Duck Soup

Presser live stream, good quality.

Stream via ufc channel working fine for me still.

Woodley would decapitate Khabib too in fairness. He's just a massive man.

Down by 2 points in 3 rounds, would of been down another point if he wasn't submitted in the 4th.....thats not a close fight

Lol, he was destroyed.


Anyone got a link for all these fights apparently happening on the strip?

Ferguson repeating the same story about Conor at the weigh in seems a bit odd.
