I don't think they can do anything about taking the purse back--but I agree with you about the fines/suspensions. With that said--ironically--if they wanted to freeze the funds--they probably could. US banks are not open that late on Saturdays and they are closed on Sundays. I don't see it happening--but realistically the funds probably have not been released.

Borden 1,078 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 What a card!!! Of the 12 fights 8 finishes (7 KO/TKO). Amazing come from behind last seconds finish by Lewis. Then he follows that with an amazing post fight interview. Ferguson looked awesome and Pettis almost got the come back win. Ferguson screaming about Conor was fantastic excitement before the main event. The main event was intense. Conor has a solid chin he took some shots. I was surprised to see him tap to a neck crank. If it was a closer fight maybe he wouldn’t have tapped? I don’t know. Khabib is ridiculously strong and I’m sure was actually trying to rip his head off. I’ve never been in a neck crank much less one from Khabib so I don’t want to sound like I’m trying to judge McGregors “toughness”. I’ve just watched fights where Rogan has said that a neck crank will just hurt a whole lot but not actually put a guy out. Khabib might have actually tried to break his neck though.

AhrnCityPahnder 4,588 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Neck cranks are ####ed up. Maybe a bunch of it is mental but at least for me it's easier to deal with pain when it's in a knee or an elbow or something. When its your head, jaw and neck rhat are getting crushed it is super painful but it also is a much more panic-inducing type of pain...you getting things compressed and crushed and it hurts in in places you're not used to registing pain. I say this only having had experienced a couple demonstrated during on me light rolling at like 25%. Even those were really disorienting and painful and I wanted out them ASAP. Against someone like Khabib who is lifetime-grappling strong, with an opponent who he probably wouldn't care if he seriously injured... I think CM has acted like an ### and I really don't like him much anymore, but I don't fault him for a split second for tapping to that. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's juts a very Vince McMahon, I mean, Dana White thing to do. Perhaps he'll start up a 4-man tournament (McGregor, Ferguson, Poirier, and one other?) to award the belt to.

YOU DO NOT JUMP OUT OF THE CAGE AND rUSH THE CroWD. It's dangerous, irresponsible, and puts innocent bystanders at risk. What he did was no different then Ron Artest years ago. Honestly surprised theres no rules for punishing guys for doing so yet. The insults are part of the sport unfortunately and you need thick skin. Khabib may have won the fight but he lost the mental game big time. Khabib just ####ed himself out of a huge payday, if UFC doesn't prosecute him Vegas commission will and may ban him for life and then any other place in the US UFC has a license with could as well. It'd be hard for him to get a work Visa and he probably never fights in the US again. Micheal Bisping was very serious speaking about this that it could very well happen. Basically said Khabib acting like a complete idiot may have just ruined his career. Khabib is lucky I'm not in White's position. I would have taken Rogan's mic and announced Khabib is stripped of the title immediacy, he'll be heavily fined, UFC is pressing criminal charges against him and he's terminated immediately. There's zero reason for fighter to leave the cage like that. Mark Halloway on Twitter made it very clear. He like other fighters have their kids and families sitting ring side during the fights and some innocent fan could've been injured. There should be zero tolerance in any sport of an athlete leaving the field of play and jumping into the stands. I'm by no means defending McGregor and the bus incident. It happened and he could've handled it better however Conors buddy called out Khabib and like a ##### he came with back up and cornered the dude. So Armatov ##### Slapped him. Connor was arrested and persecuted for what he did. I believe he's still on probation as well. He was punished. As for what happened in the octagon with the guys going after Connor I'm glad White said any fighter who entered the ring and got involved will never fight for UFC again. Yeah I saw Connor punch a guy but what are you suppose to do when someone bum rushes you like that. On top of that Connor gets restrained and two guys cheap shot him? You can hate Connor all you want but at least admit that's a punk move. This isn't Khabib and his camps first rodeo of jumping other fighters or camps. Complete Thuggery honestly on their part. UFC and White also need to be blamed. They are becoming too much like wrestling with allowing guys to say whatever they want. UFC fed the flames with the promo of The Connor Bus incident which only poured oil on a pretty big fire. This match up was a powder keg ready to explode. I think Khabib's actions were definitely calculated. I'd have hated to see what he'd have done had he lost. I really didn't think much of Khabib before the fight. I just knew about the McGregor stuff and that Khabib was a top guy. However after Saturday night I have zero respect for him (Khabib) or anyone associated with his camp. Connor jumping in the cage I don't know a lot about that incident at bellator as I do not pay a lot of attention to them. Did he hit someone or anything like that? If he jumped in the cage theres a ton of guys who do that. However he put himself at risk there. What Khabib did was absolutely reckless given that it was out of the cage and jumping into a crowd of innocent people. Look at the one photo he's lucky he didn't miss jumping over two people. Not sure if they were photographers, media people or what but they could've been seriously hurt. I blame the actions that happened after the fight on Khabib though. Connor and Khabib's teammates don't get into it if Khabib doesn't jump out of the ring and attacks Danis. Plus Khabibs guys attacked Connor. There was no guy jumps in cage and we have a staredown lets compare who's dick is bigger moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Connor McGregor created a lot of the hatred and animosity that boiled over Saturday night. He's been insulting fighters and their families and origins and Dana White just stands by because it sells tickets. It's just fortunate that their hasn't been anyone murdered yet. I won't be a bit surprised if that happens. There's a reason Connor McGregor didn't want to press charges after Saturday night. And him being a nice guy certainly isn't it.

It's become a gangster/mob/mafia thing now. I think we haven't seen the worst yet and it's going to end tragically. Edited October 8, 2018 by JuniorNB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My overall point is simply Khabib and his crew did not have to act like they did. They deserve whatever the police or UFC do to them. And you mention it ending tragically, that's sort of what I mean about taking it into the stands. Someone innocent could have been seriously injured. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Different people take being disrespected differently. With Mcgregor and Mayweather, you could almost see the wink on their face when they were insulting each other. They were both in on the joke and knew they were building the pot. McGregor and his team pushed the wrong buttons with the wrong people. I agree that it was a stupid thing to do Saturday night. Very dangerous for everyone who was there. I am shocked that Khabib took the biggest moment of his life and decided to throw it all away to run after McGregor's training partner. He would have been interviewed by Rogan, while having a sullen Mcgregor moping near him. He would have been king of the world. He took that from himself. But that goes to show you the genuine hatred and ill-will he meant for McGregor's team. If there weren't metal detectors before entering, lives would have been lost. I guarantee that would have escalated to gunfire. Incredibly stupid move by Khabib, but there's blood on Mcgregor's hands too. This was his creation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sure, maybe it was not resolved to the Russian mafia's satisfaction, but it was resolved. The incident this weekend stands on its own. Khabib and his camp had the chance to be the better group here. It's just as bad a look, if not worse, especially with the potential chaos that could have caused in the stands. Did Khabib press charges for the bus incident or was Conor simply charged with the felonies by the police? So the McGregor incident, which took place at a UFC event and injured UFC fighters, should that fall within the UFC's purview as well? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EYLive 5,188 Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 When Khabib says Putin called him to congratulate him, I totally believe him. I wouldn't mess with humorless Dagestanis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What Khabib's crew did is not OK because of what Conor's crew did. That's all I'm saying. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
