Chael did it better, he just wasn't as good of a fighter.

to try to slap or kick someone is not cool before a fight man. Like i said .... its not the WWE, these are professional fighters. Also you do know that he launched a dolly into Khabibs bus and injured a few people right?

Yeap. I'm not defending his actions. Some of the shit he does crosses the line for sure, but by now people have to realize that he does it to get in their head and it works on everyone. Except Nate Diaz lol.

they're both shitty humans lol, it's not like anyone thought otherwise. this is the ufc showing its true colors, they've been nurturing this WWE shit for a while now and they'll probably benefit from it again like they always have. it probably is a stain on the sport (i'm not a huge enough fan to be that bothered but i get why some people would be), but the alternative to the ufc is that mma becomes more like boxing, which brings its own set of problems.

personally i kind of revelled in the mayhem 'cause i see any conor fight as a bit of a degenerate spectacle. it's not like any innocent parties got dragged into it that i'm aware of (unlike the bus incident), nor was anybody seriously hurt, so whatever, it was pretty funny.

also holy shit that black beast fight was an all-time weirdo classic. that post-fight rivalled the main event for being hilarious. "why'd you take your pants off, derrick?" "muh ballz was hot"

Yeah and the thing is he wasn't a bad "fighter", but because of his antics he will never be remembered as anything more than an elite troll. The Jester of MMA

I agree with most of this. Pretty much why i don't really watch the UFC anymore. Dana thinks he's made it more "professional" but all he's done is slowly make the sport into a circus in my opinion. I miss the good ole PrideFC days where nothing but ferocity and respect was shown in the ring and if there was any pre/addition beef it was settled in the back.

before the money ...

after ...

Conor attacking the bus that time should have been his last day being involved with the UFC. Bloke is a fucking cockhead but he's also a cashcow and Dana is a massive classless whore.

we need more guys like Krazy Horse ...

@2:15 Lulz.

 

[King Richard]

Listening to Tony Ferg talk in the post-fight press conference...man is it cringe-worthy.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

... i cant stand that guy tbh.

 

[CiG]

Finally watching the fight. Round 1 was savage, start of round 2 and Conor is being used and abused.

 

[CiG]

Can't believe Khabib tainted such a brutal performance with that dumb shit at the end. Conor didn't beat him physically but he clearly fucked up Khabib's mental game on some level.

 

[rms]

watching khabib fight is pretty rough...thank god for Ferguson

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Shit got hectic...



Dem russians are putting the smack down on all these weak kneed irishmen.

 

[CiG]

Khabib's father must be disappointed as fuck over this.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

damn i didnt know about his accident. Matt Hughes was/is one of the classiest people to ever set foot in the octagon.

“I’ve been doing nothing but cardio. Even the sex,” Lewis said (transcript via MMA Fighting). “The sex really been helping my hips. I know Cormier is a wrestler so you really got to get them hips down on him so I’ve been working them hips really good.”

There is a standing belief that having sex before a fight could be detrimental to an athlete’s performance. Lewis, however, says he had busted this myth.

“Not me. Some times, a couple of times, I had sex the same day as I fought. Just to see if that myth was right, and it wasn’t right. But I was sleepy afterwards but I still had the energy though.”

i love this big crazy idiot.
