well that got out of hand

cmac got hosed. his stock got cut in half, at least, I can't imagine where he goes now except into the sunset

my way of looking at it is he lost a boring fight to an unlikeable opponent whose performance was booed throughout the early rounds, even less likeable following the events after the fight (could be tolerated by a brash american but looks goonish from dagestani thugs). would love to see the third fight with nate diaz now.

That fight wasn't boring at all - Khabib put in more work on the ground than GSP did in his last 15 fights. A clinic on sapping someone's will to live, so many shots of Conor looking confused and hopeless - I got one foot free OOPS no I didn't.

The brawl afterward was dumb but fuck it, the UFC has embraced its WWE-ness so much they could have dropped an extra cage over the top and no one would have batted an eye.

lmfao

boring to fans that like cmac's style or came on board recently, for sure. i don't think casual fans are clamoring to see khabib fight again but what do i know. just think he's got a lot of money to make in the ufc before retirement.

Hype is well and truly over now. 2 years since a fight so he was never going to win last night. Its no wonder he isn't pressing charges over last night - https://www.balls.ie/mma/new-footage-emerges-shows-mcgregors-throwing-first-punch-398275
