    Default Macgregor vs Khabib fight

    Morning Everyone,

    I'm not here to talk about the fight but the after fight fight... What are your thoughts ?

    My thoughts are that there is going to be a rematch... it's big $$$ they won't want to give that up.

    Should Khabib be stripped I personally think he should be, You fought in the octagon you don't and shouldn't be taking it outside into the crowd.. Kinda reminded me of Malice in the Palace (NBA)

    My thoughts.....

    McGregor was shocked at Khabib's strength, infact, i think he was shitting himself just quietly
    I also thought the choke wasn't that bad, personally i think McGregor threw it. But what would i know.
    His neck wasn't turned far at all and it wasn't a full choke on his throat, so i'm at a loss to understand the tap, apart from he knew he was going to loose and didnt want anymore facial restructuring. I am probably wrong as the commentators also called he would tap out just before he did
    McGegor kept grabbing Khabib's glove and also toe holds in the fence, he got away with a lot. Glad he got his face smashed in for it

    As for the after fight action....
    Who knows what really happened or was said, we only saw it from a distance.
    Unprofessional, yes... uncalled for or, who knows.

    A fight breaking out at a fight, who knew

    I'd have loved to see Khabib smash Dana White in the face though, when Dana was in his face telling him what is going to happen next.

    Either way, it was a good fight, they both got paid heaps, UFC was the winner.
    I was kind of happy to see a bit of agro and lawlessness back in the octagon, UFC was great back in UFC 1,2 and 3...
    After that it was cleaned up and rules came in to make it more "TV presentable"... It was better when it was underground

    From the news, it looks like it was a bunch of b*llshit....and NO, I didn't watch the "fight". I wouldn't waste my time or money...well, THATS not true. I waste my time and money regularly, but not on that sh!t.

    It was probably fixed and rehearsed....maybe they got a script from Don King.
    The fact that there's a highway to hell and a stairway to heaven says a lot about the anticipated traffic flow.

    Just watched the finish again
    Was a chin hold... Looked safe, unless he goes on to break his neck?
    But it didn't look like that, as Khabib's elbow was in McGregors shoulder, he actually couldn't crank the neck any further around.

    Anyway 27-0 a perfect record
    He can obviously fight!

    But the guy in the red T-shirt that climbs into the octagon and throws 3 punches into the back of McGregors head was the biggest component of the after fight if you ask me

    Was it a wresting match or boxing? Chin hold, certainly doesn't sound like pugilism to me. I didn't even watch the fight after the fight, what was that about? The entertainment beating up on the audience? Sounds like a sore loser to me, should be stripped of all moneys made from that fight, and if he tries it again, banned for life.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...
