General UFC thread

The trouble with the ufc is it’s let one guy do whatever he wants for years. McG has berated his opponents, been allowed throw objects at crowds and fighters, insult race, religion and promote his products. Even been allowed to not defend a belt and get immediate title shots he’s not earned and make a fortune because of it.

It’s manifested to the point of hatred and that’s what we saw here. They’ve let him be a bully and eventually with all bullies eventually a bigger harder one bullies them back. The ufc created this!

And EVERYONE has ridden that wave all the way to the bank. EVERYONE.

Respect?

Did you look up the word in the dictionary?

I have seen plenty of bad losers, probably a few at ringside, but bad winners??? Disgusting to hop out of the octagon to fight in the crowd, and just as disgusting to jump into the octagon to sucker punch someone who just got choked out.

The ONLY respect to come from this bullshit was McGregor not pressing charges....and I don’t like him AT ALL!

I guess you are all about leaving the playing field and having a pop at the fans, and then fans coming onto the field of play and beating up players?

Fucking Neanderthal!

Read up on the background cupcake. These are serious fighting men who’ve taken shit for weeks and weeks from Conor and his team. This builds up inside and after maintaining their focus until the job was done the anger explodes and it was time to confront those who thought they could insult a mans family and religion without any consequences.

You might think their behaviour is Neanderthal, I think they’re men of honour

In the octagon, I’d agree. But your post fight comments are waaaay out of line, as everyone else in the world appears to agree with.

There is bad blood everywhere in sports, but that doesn’t mean we lose our minds over it. What would you be saying if the sucker punch from behind had killed McGregor, or fractured his skull? Just desserts??

Believe it or not, it isn’t Thunderdome. You might like “street justice,” but there is no excuse. None..

Fighting men like these guys know about honour. I think it’s quite instructive that Conor decided not to press charges. He knows that saying what he says brings consequences and fairplay to him for accepting those consequences like the warrior he is.

It brings consequences, but they have to be reserved for the field of play...on the mat. He gassed and got done. That’s two in a row, after a beating in the square circle. His gravy train looks to be ending, but while the histrionics bring in the PPV and purse, 5en everyone has been fine. These Russians appear think they are bare knuckling on a farm in Siberia, not in front of the world in Vegas’s, with millions on the line.

If you can’t handle the difference, then it’s not for you.
 
Surprised so many still fall for the prefight trash talk and then use it against a losing fighter.

McGregor like many in combat sports before him and after will talk shit because it sells.

He could handle the difference. Kept his cool sensationally well when he needed to. And when he didn’t need to he and his team sought payback.

If team Khabib did this every time I’d agree they were in the wrong but this was an isolated example and the recipient was a guy who’s built his fortune as much on his beyond the pale trash talking as on his wonderful fighting abilities.

These guys think differently to you and me, they don’t seek justice in the courts or in fines from governing bodies, they seek it man to man and if in their eyes a man has offended their honour there are repercussions
