Haven't watched it yet, but I mean come on, did anyone really expect anything different? This wasn't Diaz he was facing who would be completely game for an all out war just to prove a point.
Man it sucks that Khabib had to lose his shit like that...they probably will strip him and create a rematch and cash in on that sweet PPV potential.
That's some Jerry Springer level shit.

Khabib's team member spending a night in jail:
Ok. So, unpopular opinion time.
Connor spent months talking shit about his dad. His family. His coaches. His country. Look at the fight- in between rounds, Khabib only sat down own time, and when every bell rang he got up pointing and talking shit to Connor. The hate from Connor was fake; the hate from Khabib was real. Connor seriously misjudged that. That reason is the main reason I have called this fight the way I have for MONTHS. Because Connor is doing it for the money. Khabib is a fucking killier and doesn't give a single fuck about anything other than being hard.
Did Khabib ever stoop to that level? Talk about family? Nope. Not once. No one on his team, either.
Say whatever you want. Connor is a fake ass hard guy; he ran into a real hard ass. Khabib made Connor quit to a NECK CRANK. It wasn't even a choke! Khabib got ahold of Connor's head and tried to twist it off and Connor had to say "Uncle" cause it hurt too much. And now everyone is surprised that there's bad blood? Oh, by the way, Khabib still hasnt lost a round in the octagon.
Get the fuck out your feelings. All this sanctimonious bullshit. We watched human cock fighters bloody each other and knock each other out unconscious all night and then act shocked when they make bad decisions about who they punch after the fact. Really?
It is what it is. You created a monster in Khabib- a relentless, soulless killer that just destroyed your flashy, shit talking prince. And then that monster rampaged into the village and people get all mortified- Joe Rogan included.

He wanted nothing to do with it. Pivotal moment of the fight is when Khabib backed up and hit him with that overhand right- you could see something on Connor's face you hadn't seen before. Worry.
They released Connor's check- but not Khabibs? Fucking why? Fair fight, carried to completion, all other affairs are the issue of the Nevada State Police. Release the check, Scrooge McDuck.

So many life lessons available in the great Rocky Documentaries— I’ve always believed that this scene should be prerequisite viewing for any fighter/golfer/team a little too high on their horse. Listen to Mick:
Wow. That's some perfect power-to-weight ratio prose right there, America.

The UFC, Dana specifically, created an environment were something like this was bound to happen. They let their golden goose McGregor get away with so much shit it was only a matter of time until someone reacted outside the fight. Shit, they used the bus attack in the promo!
Also, Schaub is on the money again. Dude literally told Rogan a few days ago he was worried that something like this would happen.
Big reason Khabib is getting treated like this: All week on Joe Rogan they've been talking about how Khabib sees this fight as personal. He wants to go in, destroy the UFCs poster boy (literally), take his money and go back home to Russia, RETIRE and chill with his family as one of the great of all time.
Yes retire. His team was telling Brandon Shaub Khabib wants to retire MMA after that fight.
As stated by AM, it's comical that people pay to watch two people beat each other bloody, then complain assault when the fight goes out to the rest of the training team, who are accomplished fighters themselves, AFTER McGregor's attack with ......A FUCKING DOLLEY..on a bus in a parking garage....for talking serious shit about another fighters fucking Dad?!?!

The co-main was a much better fight. And Lewis was entertaining.
So just watched the fight and no, I'm sorry the only people calling for Khabibs head are the McGregor fans. Not to mention that Connor did some illegal strikes and positioning through out the match. The first round was boring but it picked up real quick after that.
Called it back in August, McGregor got his ears clapped.

In regards to culture of fighting, trash talk is everything. Ali, Mayweather, so many more. Now, I've never heard a Klitschko speak ever...maybe that's a cultural thing. But if you can't take the trash talk better stay off xboxlive homez!
He'd have trouble in the fifth grade if he can't take getting shit talked to him, heck he'd probably kill himself if he was in mine and I was the fat kid.
His license is probably getting suspended in Nevada so I doubt he gets anything. If you don't understand why NVSAC ain't releasing the check then idk!
Obviously Khabib was better, but jesus that was boring as all get out.
Uh...Khabib is mentally weak.

There’s absolutely no precedent for a fighters purse being held for anything like this. Mcgregor committed assault and is being sued for actions directly related to this fight but not in the ring- he was actually found guilty, remember?- but no problem with his check. That seems unequal, yeah? I didn’t say ‘I don’t understand’; I said it’s horseshit.
As for everything else? I mean- this wasn’t a spelling bee. Turns out you can just go in there and fucking merk the shit talker and make him tap like the little bitch he is. That’s the fight game.
And I’m relatively sure Khabib would have just beat everyone in your 5th grade class to death vs killing himself. We aren’t talking about a guy that withered to the shit talking- Connor went over the line for months, Khabib sat there and took it, and then proceeded to make Connor quit. If there wasn’t a referee, CONNOR WOULD HAVE DIED. Then he took on Connor’s whole team, just like he said he would.
I don’t know what to say other than that. Khabib did everything ‘men’ or ‘warriors’ or ‘hard dudes’ are supposed to do. Calm, quiet, no shit talking, respected boundaries of what’s ok/not ok to talk about, THEN backed up everything he said he was going to do and dominated the UFC’s greatest lightweight of all time and SOMEHOW Khabib is less of a man/fighter/whatever.
I don’t understand today’s society. Fucking soft.
It's both a cultural thing, and McGregor attacking personally.
Those Eastern Eurpopean/Central Asian fighters shittalk, but only each other.
McGregor called his father a coward, said his manager was a terrorist, implied his family was inbred, and basically called Khabib's Chechen teammates race traitors.
McGregor got personal with his fake hardass smack talk, but finally did it to some real hardasses.
Derrick "My balls was hot" Lewis had probably the best post fight interview I've ever seen.
That entire fight was wild from start to finish.
Joe- Are you looking for a title shot?
Derrick- With a gas tank like that? Shiiiiiiiiiit.... naw.
