Colin Vs Beep Beep was the first MMA bout I've ever watched. But surely Conor Vs Tony Ferguson makes more sense? He's a stand up fighter as well right?

What a name.

[p4p1]

Conor and khabib should be sacked instantly by the UFC,conor punched khabibs relation on top of the cage which is why he got clocked and khabib dives over the cage to have a fist fight with one of conors team. Now if the UFC and Dana White are to make a statement this is it,they done it paul daley when he smacked( didnt connect properly but hut him) Josh Koshcheck after their fight and he eas thrown out of UFC so we can't have double standards but hey money talks in the States.

I think I'm right in saying that Conor isn't employed by the UFC therefore can't be sacked....?

If this is the case and conor has stakes in the company then the UFC have shot themselves in the foot,this crap will happen every time this thug fights. It happened with the diaz brothers and the water bottles and monster cans and then happened in new york and now this,he is a loose cannon

Conor does not have stakes in the UFC. He has an exclusive contract with them for 7 more fights. The UFC would never terminate his contract because he would go to a rival organisation and probably still do a million buys.

[adislav123]

The guys who think punching someone in the head with the intent to knock him out is NOT a red line to be crossed, like it's no big thing, should think twice. If you're ready and prepared to leave your family behind, hand them over to some other guy within the blink of an eye, THEN yeah baby, go for it & punch that asshole who called your wife a jigger or whatever smack on the chin, maybe even use your elbow and stomp his face to the concrete afterwards. If you want to keep your loved ones then you better ignore that shit or give him a good SLAP! on the mouth if he doesn't shut up. More young guys than you'd think wasting away their youth in prison cause they turned of their brain and fucked some other idiot up for good, if only if u can call it that, avcidentally. Think twice.

Eventually the mcGregor circus will be found out,he is a quitter,when things get tough he quits its in his DNA. He gave up his back to nate nearly quit in the rematch quit against floyd and now quit against khabib for not even getting choked,it was on his chin and he tapped out. Its all a show and eventually other organisations will get into him too. Remember mike tyson? He was a knockout merchant till figgters stood upto him then he git knocked out. Real fighters fight wether tgey are getting beat up ot they are beating up,fake fighters quit when it aint going their way conor is a fake fighter imho

I found some of Danas comments post fight ridiculous. He was asked if in the future he would try to stop fighters trash talking about someone's ethinicity or religion. He said no and trash talk happens in every sport etc and refused to say or admit that Conor crossed a line with some of his comments. I know that in nearly every professional sport league in the world right now if you insult someone's ethinicity or religion publically you are disciplined by the organisation so Danas reply saying it happens in every sport is complete bullshit. I found it frustrating how Dana refused to accept any blame upon himself or McGregor for setting the a poor standard after what happened in New York. he should be a politician.

[Oiky]

Yeah that choke khabib had conor in couldlve bin a lot worse for him

Couldlve actually bin on his neck and being cranked

Trash talkin is fine but trying to get to your opponent and kick him when your squaring off after a weigh in thats just a sh1t house trick,your gonna fight the next day so why try and break a finger or a hand or whatever? Because he was scared and wanted a way out,he tried to get out in round 2 while getting G+P but khabib didnt let him. He talks about the irish saying they dont run from no one and dont quit? well he quit and has done 6 times 5 of them he tapped out. He isnt all that and is a hype job,yes he puts bums on seats but he isnt the best MMA fighter and not by a country mile. He should be banned even from being in an arena. Dana White has made the UFC what it is today but Conor is gonna knock it back 10 years.

[JCS]

Really the only title fight to make though.

I wish a prime BJ Penn was still around though. Prime BJ vs Khabib would be amazing until BJ gassed.

You've got a three headed monster at 155... the division has been quite fragmented and may not get better anytime soon, as I suspect Khabib may have shelved himself for a bit with his post-fight antics.

I think as long as Khabib and Ferguson fight next then it will be ok. Who else is in the mix with a claim for being top dog.

Poirier.

[Oiky]

Poirier will beat Nate I reckon

Makes you sound very naive sorry to say, clueless. Getting choked like that you have two options: tap out or pass out. Part of that sport. Doesn't make you a quitter nor a coward. Getting found out & broken down/brookd up by a better man is part of the game.

Conor tried to go all in hyping up the fight & crossed multiple lines a more mature man wouldn't have came close. Plenty other ways to wind up then insulting one's faith & family. He payed for it, actuallly he GOT payed millions for it but guess he learned from it.

To call tyson, mcgregor whom ever a fake-fighter is pure idiocy.
Real fighters do this, real fighters do that... bullshit. A real fighter fights. Period.
Step into a ring with a guy who's only objective is to put you away and see,
getting sparked or choked, if it feels fake to have to stay down or tap out.

McGregor wasn't being choked - Khabibs arm wasn't under the chin. He was effectively just squeezing mcGregors jaw & face. He tapped because it was a bite sore not because he was going to pass out.

McGregor tapped because he knew he was going to get his arse handed to him.

That's the second fight he's tapped out fast in.

I would never criticise anybody who wants to call it a day in the ring, nor would I want them to continue, but there's definitely some dog in him when it comes to submissions.

Mcgegor was not getting choked out he was getting his jaw crushed by khabib bicep,i do know what i seen and plenty of other ppl seen the same thing so this does not make clueless t all sorry to say,its my own opinion and i believe it to be true

[adislav123]

A "bit sore"?

Let somebody very strong choke you like that, tell him not to hold back & not to stop when you tap (cause you will tap!)

Good luck!

I would never tap. You would have to kill me first.

Once you were dead, then you’d tap?

On 2nd thought I still wouldn't

[pablothunder]

You know where these characters get all that pent up aggression that even fighting, prizemoney and belts can't relieve, right?

Guaranteed they'll be straight back to the mat with the closest members of their team within days of being home.

Twas submission via neck crank. It's not a fun sub.

Well he didn't really get a chance to crank the neck, it was more of a jaw crush but Conor didn't try to fight it or deal with the pain. He just plain gave up. I've had that move done to me by someone who's much bigger than me and it hurts like fick but I at least tried to fight hands or get out of it before I tapped.

[Impractical Poster]

Conor wants the rematch now.

If they skip Tony, it will be infuriating.

p4p - that article you posted was spot on. Conor gets away with far too much. He's been doing it since he joined the promotion.

Kavenaugh was on Rogan's podcast today. He confirmed that the way Conor acts is his genuine personality. Whenever they have new sparring partners come in in preparation for a fight, they tell the sparring partner that it's a real fight, and Conor will be talking shit to them. His excuse for Conor's behavior is that it's just his personality. No shit. Doesn't mean it's right. Someone needs to put a leash on that tucker or something really really bad is going to happen to him. The UFC is largely to blame for letting this carry on. I used to like Dana. He states what happened Saturday night is disgusting. I say the lengths of his favoritism towards Conor is completely abhorrent.

[p4p1]

I've said previously and I believe on this thread that Conor needs a new gym. The instructions inbetween rounds were shit, just like they were in the Mayweather fight. I doubt good instructions would've made a difference to either outcomes but IMO his instructions are often Edmund like and it sounds, from what you're saying it also sounds like the environment he has created in gym around Conor is similar to the set up Rousey had.

Agree with you 100% that just because it's someone's personality that it doesn't mean it's acceptable.

I liked Dana a long time ago but I haven't for a long time. His deflection of any blame of himself or Conor and his team for what happened this weekend is embarrassing and his favouritism for Conor and Ronda was and is unethical.

[Oiky]

Didn't coach kavanagh say he didn't bring no wrestlers in to camp ?

[banjo]

If this is the case and conor has stakes in the company then the UFC have shot themselves in the foot,this crap will happen every time this thug fights. It happened with the diaz brothers and the water bottles and monster cans and then happened in new york and now this,he is a loose cannon

Conor does not have stakes in the UFC. He has an exclusive contract with them for 7 more fights. The UFC would never terminate his contract because he would go to a rival organisation and probably still do a million buys.

Mike Tyson was never beaten at his peak, Buster Douglas would never have beaten the 1988 Kevin Rooney trained Tyson, he only beat the 1990 version because he got a long count when he himself was down.
