Anybody watch it, only watched the main event and wow can honestly say in 15 years of watching UFC I've never seen anything like it. Not going to give the result away if anyone hasn't seen it yet but we'll worth a watch.
I used to watch it all the time but not seen any UFC in ages. Used to have sky so would set it to record but don't have that option now and when I used to use the BT sport site to catch up with fights, it'd say who won before you watched the video which is a shame If I can download it or something I may well end up watching it
There are loads of streams on Youtube of the full fight and aftermath. There was very bad blood in the build up to the fight. bus incident all the insults by Connor etc Don't really think its giving the result away to say after the fight had ended. khabib jumped up on to the top of the cage then jumped down into the crowd and started fighting with somebody in the crowd At the same time 2 spectators ( believed to be contracted UFC fighters !!) climbed up and over into the cage and started raining punches into Connor Mcgregory from behind. people were fighting outside the ring. seemingly endless number of people started surging through the gap into the cage and there was a mass brawl in the ring. couldn't make it up . interesting to see what the repercussions of this are for sure, Anybody interested make sure catch the co-main event between Tony Ferguson v Anthony Pettis , its on youtube and was a cracker, unless you are squeamish. looked like a murder scene there was so much blood. the fight was halted temporally at one point so the blood could be mopped up of the canvas with towels before the fight continued.
Khabib should be stripped of his belt IMO after that. I have no sympathy for McGregor though. I prefer UFC to boxing but it really needs to clean up its act and fast. Khabib V Conor II now??? Conor isnt good enough at BJJ he can't cope whenever he hits the canvas. Can't see him winning any more belts unless he gets lucky with a punch. I like his character but there are better, more complete fighters.
It's just lads streetfighting but in a cage . I heard all the furore so decided to watch it , let's just say the build up is more entertaining than the fight .
Agree. Dana White said in the post fight presser that no way could he think about a rematch at this stage. But could well be the biggest ppv in UFC history, would be a nightmare to manage but bad blood II has to be done. Khabib did a good job on Conor, although didn't expect him to tap.
He must've had him pretty good as i think he tapped once even earlier before the eventual three taps. I think Conor has done very well in his career considering. Hes a great fighter if he can stay on his feet but against the BJJ guys he's reliant upon knockout punches and kicks.
Make no mistake the UFC will be absolutely delighted about the aftermath of last night. The fight was completely one sided, on that there’s no grounds for a rematch. Now with what happened afterwards they’ll be able to build a rematch due to all the controversy. They won’t want to strip him of the belt, he’s now the ‘bad Russian’ who people will turn up to watch & hope that he loses. The UFC have allowed McGregor & his team to racially abuse Khabib, abuse his religion, his dad, he was a ticking time bomb I’m not surprised he wanted to batter McGregor’s team as well. It’s a bit like Sky Sports when they condemn Bellew, Chisora, Haye or whoever it is kicking off but really they’re buzzing about all the extra PPV’s it’ll sell. My favourite bit of the fight was when Khabib decided to stand & trade with McGregor where he was supposedly inferior but he dominated him at that as well
I wasn't surprised one bit. He tapped against Diaz at the first chance as well. Dana also said McGregor wouldn't fight again after the bus situation. I can't condone it and I wouldn't be surprised if he got stripped and banned, but the way Conor has behaved in the lead up, he's got to shoulder some of this. Either way, the world now knows who the King is.
Modern revamp of the World of Sport Saturday afternoon choreographed wrestling...with a bit of ketchup for effect...and all those who idolise it remind me of the grannies waving their knitting needles in rage because Jackie Pallo had just beaten Les Kellet Mind you that's just my cynical view, it's a proper sport and nowt to do with pay per view revenue
If you properly watched it then I think you might change your mind. More brutal than any other major sport I can think of. It's not just street fighting either as someone put it, its jiu jitsu which takes years to master.
Aye, course it is. It's pre determined mind drivel for goths. No more of a sport than American Wrestling. That was shown when McGregor tried to show he could box and was handed his a*** on a plate.
An all time great who came out of retirement, didn’t train properly, who was never a puncher & just had fun in there. If McGregor would’ve been in there with a Spence, Crawford, Brook, Thurman etc who were taking the fight seriously he wouldn’t have made the second round
Anyone that thinks it's pre-determined needs to give their heads a shake. Would you risk your health for a fight that's already been decided who wins not a chance
I agree with that... was more pointing out to him that these guys are no pushovers. Can't do with people knocking other sports when they know sweet fa about it.
I'm not a goth who lives at home with their mum supping red bull all day. Of course I know nothing about it, I've got a life.
