Hence the Jihadi comment. Ali is a scumbag.

Conor dishes it out, so he's fair game for any **** talking directed at him.
But Ali goes after Dee or the kid to get a reaction.

Conor said a lot about Khabibs family. Slagged his da and his wife IIRC.

He deleted these fairly quickly

Those tweets are pretty tame imo.

That doesn't make it ok tbh. Conor shouldn't have spoke about his dad.

I read the wife comment as a pop at the muslim custom of making women cover their heads, rather than aimed as his wife personally. Some will say religion/culture is off limits, others will say it's a horrible custom.
In either case, I don't think it' remotely excuses Ali tweeting (from Usmans account) that hes gonna rape Dee.

Surely there is a law against stuff like that?

He has no interest in MMA anymore. He has made his money.

He was twenty-eight when he beat Eddie Alvarez, four years ago. It was arguably the most complete performance in UFC history. Didn't miss a swing and had Alvarez punching shadows.

He has Dana on strings so no doubt he'll pop in every now and then for a top up, but as a serious contender, he's cooked. All the talk of reclaiming the 155 or going up and conquering 170, is all utter bollocks.

A McGregor that maintained his passion and discipline of 2016, sure I could see it happening, but 2016 is long gone.

Wasn't Usman's account hacked? I know Ali puts some crap on his fighter's accounts, but the stuff that day was far worse than Ali usually writes.
It was obviously him on Justin's account writing about Conor being a **** father, which is probably fair game. "How's Noah?"

He has an interest in money and for that reason a keen interest in MMA.

He looked on tremendous shape for his last fight. I know it was Cowboy, I'm not claiming it was a big win. The reason he chose Cowboy was money, he is one of the most popular fighters after McGregor.
He will only be interested in a belt if it's big money and I think Conor fighting for a belt is big money.
His next fight will most likely be Gaethje. Khabib wants a soft fight, he s is desperate to get an old GSP in the ring and it's nearer to happening now than it ever has been.
Conor threw out the Diaz option the other night and told Gaethje he'll be next. He's looking to see which is bigger money and he'll take that fight. My guess is Gaethje is a huge money maker now.

Is Conor constantly going on Twitter when drunk or what? I say drunk specifically because some of the ramblings are just too out there to be anything other than someone who's genuinely hammered. I don't mean the deleted "hugs legs" ones but just in general. I mean what's that 9/11 one supposed to be?!

Patient Gathje is now there with 2016 Conor, Full camp Mendes. Sea level Cain

I disagree with this. I think his ego is too big for him to let go.

Where have you gotten this idea from that unbeaten Khabib is afraid to fight the top guys. It's bizarre and not grounded in reality at all. Even if it were true, GSP is not a soft fight.

GSP is 38, he'll be 39 next week, which is old in MMA terms. How many Champions can you name at 39 or older?
Khabib hasn't fought many top fighters.

Cormier for a start. Would hardly call him a soft fight.

For a guy with 25 wins he really hasn't fought many elite guys ,

Even his fight against Conor was against an absolute wreck of a man, after that your looking at Dustin and Barboza guys who while good are not world beater by any means

I don't think Khabib is as good as people think and I think he knows that himself,

He is possibly the only champion in recent year that iv never heard wanting to have a fight with the next weight champion,

Your talking nonsense here. Only a few champions have ever fought the champion of another division. The 3 greatest of all time Jones Johnson and Gsp never fought the champion of another division, why does khabib have to do it to prove himself?

eh ok

GSP fought and beat Bisping to become middle weight champion
Might mouse fought and lost to Cruz for the bantamweight belt ,

Jones has at least spoken many times about moving up ,
Plus he beat the heavy weight champion twice although at his weight class

Anderson Silva champ at 39
Bisping 39
Woodley 38
Cromier 39
Woodley 38
Stipe 38

GSP was considered goat long before bisping fight. He wouldnt move up to fight silva in his prime. Johnson wasnt champ when he fought cruz ?

GSP beat Bisping at middleweight.
How is Johnson there? Cejudo beat him and is a two weight champion.

He said gaethje should be ashamed of associating himself with a jihadist like Ali and should not claim to represent America. Then he posted the 911 pic as a reminder.

They still fought and competed for titles at different weights

Khabib seems happy to stay at lightweight ,he knows his grappling alone wouldn't cut it with the welter weights ,

Again he really hasn't fought many top of the fodo chain guys ,good guys yes but not many elite guys , As I said even Conor was the worst McGregor weve ever seen he was wreck,

I don't think he's a good as people think he is ,

I didn't say it made it okay. I'm saying you saying Ali is a scumbag and referencing him commenting on peoples families is something Conor has also done, so I presume you think Conors a scumbag as well. Not to mention other things Conor has engaged in.

Silva lost his title at 38, last won a championship bout at 37, Woodley lost his title at 37, Miocic is now 37, Bisping's last championship win was at 37.
Seems like you are adding years to everyone of them.

There isn't, it's Randy and then Cormier.
