Not at all surprised that fighters in this type of domain are friendly or even involved in that kind of ****. I can't imagine either of the people in this title fight could be considered "role models" for young people in any place that is about respect for all people.


But there are differences. Conor is a degenerate and a parody. He has no principles. Khabib's actual, deeply-held principles go hand-in-hand with oppression and brutality.

There are pieces from each of them that are totally admirable, and that should inspire. But they are different pieces. And there are pieces of each that are also totally reprehensible. But those are also different pieces.

Very well said and I agree. My perspective is slightly different and at a different angle though, and it is that the reprehensible aspects are not excused by either of their accolades or achievements or other factors. It is of far lesser benefit to the world generally to have good qualities marred by outrageously poor characteristics. But that is my value system. Great personal achievement, no matter what the context, is nothing with such poor qualities surrounding them.

Take it with a grain of salt but Schuab said he heard Khabib could be suspended any where from a year to 18 months.

So Khabib hangs out with warlords. But Conor hangs out with Jerry Jones.

I'm surprised they would be so hard on a bluetooth prospect.

I can't see it.
My guess is 6 month, 250k just like Dana said.

I think if he gets more, it'll be because of the whole "the NV governor was there and had to rush out of the building thing". The NSAC is a government entity comprised of commissioners who love the song and dance and may feel pressure to actually do something, i.e., hand out punishments for the ridiculousness.

I don't know who the Dagestani guy was, but they are really going to give poor Artem Lobov to Michael Johnson?? Should that be sanctioned???

How many of Khabib's 145-170 lb Dagestani goons would it take to take down the man himself, the Champ Champ, DC?

Considering one jumped Conor from behind and hit him in the back of the head countless times and Conor didn’t even feel it, I don’t think their odds are good lol
