Call it now Diaz 3 then retires to wwe.
Credit to him he is over rated as a ufc fighter but has earnt more all of the ufc

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

WWE does have a stake in MMA after all.

you sure you aren't thinking of WME-IMG, the talent agency?

They own the UFC and are hired by the WWE to represent them in business, e.g. TV negotiations.

not sure a stake in the company is accurate... unless you have a source? I just had a look and couldn't find anything.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Just signed a six fight deal

Khabib “he talked about my religion”.. oh ffs.

Conor disrespected absolutely everything he possibly could.

 

[the_interloper]

Conor disrespected absolutely everything he possibly could.

He did, went next level with his trash talk. I guess someone from Khabib's background will take that personal as shit, ain't just hyping a fight.

Anyone can hype a fight. Conor took it too far, as he has done before.

It's about time it caught up with him.

 

[Stu_Hibachi]

alright didnt know whether to post a new thread or here. this thread is and the Rise of Connor kind of kept me away from big footy but here goes. UFC is a big problem with what went on tonight in the words of Jeff Sherwood those who been around will know who im talking about, "UFC is like a bad parent if you dont discipline your children then will always over step the boundaries deeper and deeper."

look at all these significant event before tonight and how they were handled.
Connor jumps the cage in Bellator and attacks an official. Most people dont even remember totally unchecked.
the throwing the full cans or Drinks at the press confrence pretty much unchecked might of got a fine but a bit like hearing your kid saying **** then telling them no but followed by isnt that cute.

Then the Bus Attack that is the one that really didnt sit well with me yes he got arrested and let off like a privlaged sport star as you do of there. In my eyes and def after hearing from those on the bus it was a 100% Terrorism if it was mean id locked up for a very long time. How does the UFC deal with this oh yeah showing 10k times over the last two months.

What happened was bad and yes there needs a suspension you can go jumping out and attacking people its just not on and everyone that through a punch inside the octogon regardless of who it was and who threw first needs to be sanctioned . Unfortunately there prob will be a rematch which there is no need for whats so ever he was comprehensively beaten tonight and I will even go as far as saying he quit. wasnt submited just plain and simple quit. really intersted in hearing what a few of the oldtimers think about all of this you know you you are

 

[chefmeister]

Got flogged in there, end of. And Yeah it was more of an “I quit” than a submission.
Away for 2 or so years and now super rich so can’t really be ****** anymore.

Khabib obviously took it waaaay more seriously and personally than everyone including Connor expected. You could practically see the hatred steaming off him. No excuses for that shit tho, result should be declared a no contest and he should be suspended and stripped of his title.

Won’t happen but as there’s too much mone to be made out of him atm.
Jeezuz, wtf for? Time to face reality man, he’ll smash you even worse next time.

[Flandersss]

Come on Connor, he is clearly a tier above.

Anything for $$$

 

[Smartest Brain]

Khabib “he talked about my religion”.. oh ffs.

You can't talk about Islam without consequences.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

You can't talk about Islam without consequences.

I think it was more 'disrespected', not just "talked about".

 

[chefmeister]

I think it was more 'disrespected', not just "talked about".

And his father & country also. That would pull the trigger on most guys.

Some brainwash effect is it? Humans are so dumb.

 

[Flandersss]

My common sense tells me that it’s all for promotion/$$$ and I wouldn’t take it personal in Khabib’s shoes.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Khabib did everything that he said he would. That was 4 destructive rounds. Conor did fooking nootin.
Conor was very, very ordinary tbh. I was expecting more from him.
