    I didn't mind Conor taking two whoopings but it was a shame that a career defining moment for Khabib ended like that and he wasn't presented with a belt and may well get stripped along with all sort of other problems ( bans, visa problems and fines etc.)

    White plays with fire with some of the wwe shat he does and these two had real venom leading up and during. Didn't conor almost put his teammates eye out throwing a dolly ffs? Really over shadowed what sounds like a dominate performance by Khabib and sucker punch Conor was kinda shitty but I sort of get Khabib going all Jimmy Snuka over the cage and not sure they even got hands on. Was bit surprised by some of the in studio ranting about revoking visas more than if their employment. So..rematch I guess

    This analysis shows Conor throwing the first punch to start the melee that ensued inside the Octagon.

    The UFC will probably use this incident to hype a rematch just like they did with the bus attack footage for this fight.

    I honestly thought the fight was boring, 2 men rolling on the floor for 10 minutes I was fed up.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Blimey, imagine if phone cameras were around when JFK was shot, 50 years after the Zapruder film within hours we have a second by second breakdown of a punchup at a sports event.

    Right, so Connor did clip the Isis bloke, who clearly wasn't jumping on the fence to behead him, however, it was all a bit half-hearted and under control until the other two Isis cunts started attacking him, then the original Isis beardy joined back in (ironically it looked like Connor was trying to snap his head off at the end, which I know is a choke out/hold or something for you UFC dudes).

    Great stuff.

    This was the first time I'd watched a UFC card. I'd seen fights before obviously but not a whole card. There were some brutal stoppages. I don't know the names but one guy got put out with several elbows that made a proper crunching sound against the floor, pretty tasty. The big black dude that looked like he wanted to quit for practically the whole fight was probably my favourite. It was like Bob Sapp coming back and winning a fight he had no business winning.

    The Khabib McGregor fight was a good watch. No heads bouncing off the floor but from a technical standpoint (I'll pretend I know what they're doing on the floor) it was a good watch. I thought McGregor did well to last as long as he did and there was a glimmer towards the end of the 3rd and start of the 4th where it looked like the picture of the fight might have been changing. He was defending the take downs pretty good, turning it into more of a boxing match. Maybe Khabib was just having a breather.

    When a bloke takes out his gum shield, throws it at his target and attempts to Larry Holmes some fucker on the outside, you really don't need to be looking any further for the source of the trouble do you? McGregor has played his part in the circus many times, but the fucker was on his arse when Khabib went spastic. Soon livened up when the aggro kicked off didn't he I'd have punched that bloke as well to be fair, he wasn't going over the top to be peacemaker now was he.

    It has been quite funny to see the boxing fraternity 'disgusted' with the scenes.

    How much off this mess was a set up for press? Now I’m not a UFC guy but it looked to me like Connor got his ass kicked. That terrorist dude was all over him.

    I watched this Sunday morning on YouTube.

    First ufc fightbi have watched apart from highlight clips.

    I get it till they start rolling round on the floor then I’m just bored. Don’t think I’ll be watching another.

    But that aside the post fight events were mental tv entertainment.

    Damn. They're considering taking Khabib's entire $2 million fight purse away from him. I mean I agree he should be fined and suspended, but he should get to keep part of his purse just for shutting up McGregor.
