Connor did the same shit to other people in unofficial mma fights (not referring to the bus attack), let's not pretend Connor isn't some innocent sweet cinnamon roll

Holy shit that entire card was insane. Even though it ended in catastrophe and Dana White is now on Goofcon 1 Red Alert, that little fiasco elevated the sport.

Swangin and bangin to "mah balls was hot." And mentioning going on Rogan's podcast to smoke weed in a couple weeks, lmao

The bloody war between Pettis and El Cucuy.

And then the war between McGregor and Nurmagomedov that created a storyline that can sustain the UFC for years. I seriously can't wait for the follow up on all of this.

Chael Sonnen wasn't kidding when he said that Khabib just wanted to obliterate the UFC's poster boy.

This is the type of shit that the UFC encouraged by going easy on Jones/DC and then Conor bringing in religious and ethnic tensions all throughout the pre fights. You reap what you sow, also all this is like when Conor personally storming the Bellator cage and attacked other people in the cage and also when he attacked Aldo's corner. So not even looking outside Conor ala Diaz corner brawl etc, etc. Khabib did nothing more worse than anyone else deserve punishment, this is the nature of the beast.

Won't be surprising if the UFC uses this as their promo.

 

[Bush did USS Maine]

That event sure was an experience. Great to see Khabib come out on top, that's what I was hoping for. But what I feared most was the belt going for a while without defense again on a Conor win, and I think even without that we're looking at a long while of the belt not being in play.

Spoiler: Article Text

LAS VEGAS -- UFC president Dana White says Khabib Nurmagomedov's lightweight championship could be stripped depending on if he is suspended and for how long after the Russian jumped out of the Octagon and went after Conor McGregor's jiu-jitsu coach Saturday night.

Before their UFC 229 fight, McGregor and Nurmagomedov said their feud would continue no matter what happened in the Octagon. No one thought it would continue literally seconds after the fight.

That's when a brawl inside and outside the Octagon involving both camps forced both fighters and multiple team members to be escorted out of the Octagon by security and police officers.

White said three members of Nurmagomedov's team involved in the incident were arrested and released late Saturday night. White said McGregor told him that he would not press charges.

White also said the Nevada State Athletic Commission is withholding Nurmagomedov's check pending an investigation but that McGregor was paid after the commission reviewed tape, interviewed McGregor and concluded there was no reason to withhold his check.

The state commission could also fine and suspend Nurmagomedov, the degree of which could result in his belt being stripped.

The fight ended in the fourth round when Nurmagomedov made McGregor tap to a rear-naked choke. Nurmagomedov, however, wasn't finished. After McGregor tapped, referee Herb Dean had to restrain Nurmagomedov and push him away from McGregor.

Nurmagomedov then pointed at members of McGregor's corner, threw his mouthpiece in their direction and started yelling at them. While he was being restrained by security, Nurmagomedov jumped out of the Octagon and went after Dillon Danis, a Bellator welterweight who also is McGregor's jiu-jitsu coach. Madness ensued with both camps going after each other and having to be restrained by security and police.

During the commotion, two men believed to be a part of Nurmagomedov's team -- one in a black shirt and one in a red shirt -- jumped into the Octagon. The man in the black shirt swung at McGregor from the front, while the man in the red shirt punched McGregor in the back of the head twice before security restrained him.

"It's bad," White said of the melee. "There's gonna be an investigation by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, and. ... there's gonna be big money fines, and these guys are in big trouble.

"Again, we need to see how this plays out. Nobody has ever done that; nobody should ever do that."

A source told ESPN's Brett Okamoto that McGregor left T-Mobile Arena in the aftermath of the loss and brawl.

Nurmagomedov showed up the postfight news conference around midnight in Las Vegas. While he didn't take any questions, he did make a lengthy statement before leaving.

"First of all, I want to say sorry to the athletic commission, Nevada and sorry to Vegas," Nurmagomedov said. "This is not my best side. I'm a human being but I don't understand how people can talk about jumping on the cage when he talks about my religion, he talks about my county, he talks about my father and he comes to Brooklyn and he broke the bus and almost killed a couple of people. What about this? Why are people talking about my jumping over the cage. I don't understand... You can not talk about religion, you cannot talk about nations, you cannot talk about this stuff. This is for me very important."

After the chaos had subsided, White said he told Nurmagomedov he wouldn't put the lightweight, 155-pound championship belt around Nurmagomedov's waist in the Octagon out of fear that people would throw drinks and other objects at him, potentially hurting other people in the process.

Violence was mostly contained, White said, though video of a sizable brawl in the arena concourse after the fight surfaced online. The 17-second clip shows several fights going on simultaneously, though it was unclear who was involved or if anyone was arrested or detained.

When ring announcer Bruce Buffer announced the result of the main event, neither fighter was in the Octagon because both had already been escorted out.

The rivalry between the McGregor and Nurmagomedov has been brewing for years and boiled over in April when McGregor attacked a bus Nurmagomedov was riding in at Barclays Center before UFC 223.

At Thursday's news conference, Nurmagomedov and McGregor said they would not shake hands after the fight and that their fight was more than just a battle for the UFC lightweight championship.

"Honestly for me, this is more than defending my title," Nurmagomedov said then. "For me, it's more than fight for the title, more than main event. For me, it's personal. Honestly, for me it's personal. Of course this is biggest fight in UFC history and we're going to break record numbers ... but for me it's personal."

McGregor agreed that the rivalry between the two would extend past Saturday, which was certainly the case in the immediate aftermath.

"There is way deeper s--- than just a fight on Saturday night," McGregor said Thursday. "I'm going to settle this the noble way for myself and then see what happens after that ... F--- peace. There will never be peace here. I always say you should aim for peace but if you can't aim for peace, aim between the eyes. I'm gonna to aim right between that man's eyes and this is never over. Never, ever, ever, over."

Edit: Found a broadcast video, enjoy.

[Feline Darkmage]

Imagine beating McGregor in a fight, winning his title, and then throwing it away due to being a retard.

Imagine beating McGregor in a fight, winning his title, and then throwing it away due to being an exceptional individual.

Khabib jumping the fence is the most retarded thing he could of done short of pulling his dick out on live tv.

Dana White said he's keeping the title. It's all depending on how Nevada State Athletic commission is going to handle this, also depends on how long suspension is going to be, if it's a long suspension Dana said he's stripping the title.

Dana White talking about the brawl that went down. @48:27 Khabib talking about his grievances with Conor stuff leading into the event.

[Guardian G.I.]

I don't watch UFC, but I wouldn't expect anything else from a Dagestani fighter - these guys like chimping out over stupid shit.
In September, for example, Khabib got into an autistic feud with a Russian pop singer Egor Kreed, because Khabib is a closet Wahhabi and doesn't like Dagestanis visiting concerts. He set his similarly exceptional local fanbase on Kreed, who had to cancel the concert in Makhachkala after recieving thousands of death threats. Khabib's fans even threatened to rape Kreed ()

This is the kind of people we're talking about - it's no wonder Khabib acted the way he did.

 

[Francis York Morgan]

Welp. I didn't think anyone could out-exceptional individual Jon "Crackhead" Jones and then Khabib decided to do that.

Great show though.

 

[XYZpdq]

lol shouldn't this be merged with the pro wrestling thread

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Fuck that fight was good. I love how khabib kept his cool during all the lead up to the fight, despite conor insulting his faith and family, then just lost it. I don't really blame him. His people murder for less.
