@Idrownfish yeah, that's fair.  I wish khabib hadn't done it, he robbed himself of his moment of reflective glory. It was stupid. But it isn't worse than anything Mcgregor has done, let alone jones.

27-0 at the highest level of MMA in my lifetime..that's really something. I can't wait to explain to my great grand-children how Khabib not only beat 1 of the best fighters that ever lived, but also became 1 of the biggest POS to ever exist as well. Khabib is just as bad as Tyson if not worse, taking advantage of personal power and attacking the weak. I hope Zubaira never fights in the UFC again.

It kind of was though...Jones worst offensives were outside of the cage, along with Conors. Khabib used his moment to start a riot and should be held responsible for the people who undoubtedly get hurt tonight.

Khabib is the best lightweight of all time. It's not even close.

But yes Bruce I agree, a ****** human being. I always suspected it, but the video of him paying the homeless man pennies to do pushups and laughing at him sealed the deal for me.

Well, despite all the hoopla I am glad mcnuggets got ****-fed a huge dose of humble pie. It's long overdue.

Anyway, they will probably strip khabib and reinstate mcgregor as champ because WME era gonna WME era.

Khabib has been telling AKA fighters that he was planning on retiring after this fight.

"I wanted to meet interesting and stimulating people of an ancient culture, and kill them."

@Bruce there's no way to spin it so that crashing a car into a pregnant woman's car with a pregnant woman in it during a crack binge after running a red light, fleeing the scene, then returning to grab some cash without checking to see if anyone was injured is better than what khabib just did in or out of the octagon or not.

In no parallel dimension is that true.

I know its completely different and what Khabib did was worse. Couldn't handle winning. Not even Tyson did something that stupid.

Haha, downvote me all you like contards. It's in the books. That fight wasn't even close.

Mcgregor will never beat khabib.

Ever.

Let him fight silva or whatever the **** it is he wants to do. Just know he's never getting that belt back.

Tony is getting annoying. However, he deserves to fight the champ.
