@analias

I'm not.  Khabib was out of line, but considering that Conor should be in jail for what he did and he got off with the lightest of sentences shows the ******** hypocrisy of the promotion.

I know it's stupid but I gotta say one thing. Don't **** with Chechen or Dagestani people. They are not some trash talkers, they take any disrespect dead serious. It's just how it is.

Khabib attacking Danis was sad and unnecessary but it is what it is. This moment will NEVER be forgotten. EVER. 

This is Prize-Fighting. Liston shot a fake gun vs Ali in a crowded

I think both incidents have had dangerous outcomes. Khabib could literally start a riot by going after Danis. McGregor could have badly injured people on the bus, but Khabibs actions will now carry over for the rest of night.

@Alias it's prizefighting mate. Things like this happen all the time. You're a fellow boxing fan. You know this ****.

Khabib beat the living **** out of mcgregor, jumped the fence and punches his ********* trainer. That's nowhere NEAR as bad as causing permanent eye injuries to innocent bystanders and disrupting an event. Not even the same sport.

@GreenHornet This isn't a double standard. MMA is in bad need of icons right now, I just want a crazy good guy that won't pull this kind of **** again to root for. Conor should be in jail, and Khabib should be stripped (which is unfortunate considering he is without a doubt the best Lightweight in the planet right now).

Brazilians wouldn't care half as much about Anderson Silva if he did **** like this.

@ImperatorFishrat If McGregor was a false prophet it is all the more important that the guy who beat him isn't.

It's not about comparing what Conor did to what Khabib did.
