The talks are modified rules for Conor vs Floyd 2 (supposedly) no take downs, kicks, etc etc. Essentially a boxing match in an octagon where conor can try to even it out with clinch fighting

There were criticisms of khabib's dominating performance by Rogan and Smith during the fight that went viral.
Unfair criticisms.
Khabib went through the hardest week in fighting on expert mode. Multiple opponent pull outs (most other fighters wouldn't have continued)
Leprechaun terrorist attack while he was dehydrated and trying to rehydrate and re-cooperate
still dominated all rounds and used an opponent after all the above as a practice fight in regards to standup
He has holes but what that fight actually showed is how G'damn tough the spirit of The Eagle is
The bus incident
Artem was running his mouth on some interviews about Khabib (typical fighter bullshit)
Khabib and his crew confronted Artem over it outnumbering him and there was no violence and it was an intimidating but non hostile interaction (It's understandable that this would cause more beef but necessary to keep in mind that it wasn't over the line yet on either side)
It's understandable that as a friend Conor and the boys would not like this
However
What Conor did was terrorism. He flew over from Ireland with 20 of his boys, had insiders let him into an area he should not have been and he BLINDLY attacked a bus full of vulnerable dehydrated athletes having no idea who he was going to hurt with the attack
Keep in mind the unsuspecting dehydrated very stressed fighters on the bus had no idea at first was happening. They didn't know if their were guns, bombs, other weapons, or who was attacking in their very vulnerable situation
Those defending his actions or trying to minimize them as "loyalty" "great friend" are way off imo and he should have been charged with more significant crimes that they COULD have made a case for
There were small depleted women on that bus and a bunch of non fighters that he blindly attacked. He could have injured any of them and many were very visibly shaken (nearly cancelling more fights) according to reports and witnesses
The law and the UFC have been letting his escalating dangerous behavior go unchecked a long time now. I hope those involved with the attack teach him a financial lesson that he isn't getting taught from those that should be holding him accountable for his actions
a not too shabby fight night in the works
will be good to see if Lee can get back on track
barboza back from the bear mauling
frankie and cub back having their dreams crushed by ortega
Ortega is going to be a big star and I'm happy for him. I hope he handles it strong and doesn't lose himself in it
