Dana loves last night.

We are all there to see fights and we got to see extra fighting. We all won, IMO

Yeah after a night of sleeping on it I’d agree. I don’t think you can allow some of Khabib’s team back in but he should be alright now that he’s at AKA

It's this funny charade where Dana has to act like the sport has been marred, but he really loves it cause it doesn't actually turn any fans away and it has people talking.

100% he can fake outrage, but he knows this amps up a second fight 50 fold. Which is a joke that a rematch is even being discussed right now. Khabib V Tony and Lee V CMG, then go from there. IMO

I'd rather see those matches reversed.

Khabib is the best wrestler from the most competitive region in the world. They are just a different breed in Dagestan and Conor provoked. Khabib was still in the wrong for putting innocent people in danger. Settle that **** backstage if you want to do street stuff

Wow. For such tough guys, they sure act like little girls in this sport sometimes.

Agreed. About as stupid as dc fighting brock lesnar instead of stipe getting a rematch he 100% earned and deserves.

After having to pay for that sh** showing by McGregor, I was hoping the ref would let Khabib attack him after the fight was over.

Besides the corruption, at least I got my money's worth for GGG/Canelo 2. Now that was a good fight.

What we say last night was donkey poop.

Everyone got their money’s worth before the main event even took place

He needs to lay low and dedicate his life to wrestling if he wants any chance in a rematch. Ireland is one of the worst wrestling countries in the world

His wrestling was pretty good on Saturday night, tbh. That's what Khabib does to good wrestlers. He needs a different gameplan, IMO. He came out too aggressive. He should have made Khabib come to him.

There is probably no scenario where he beats Khabib, unless he catches him early.

It’s probably a stretch to say he’s a good wrestler but his takedown defense was better than expected. I agree with you on the gameplan. I was surprised Conor closed the distance on Khabib in the first. Khabib got his hands on him quick and start gassing him. Make him come to you and punish him when he gets in striking range

I didn't mean to call him a good wrestler, I'm saying he had really good defensive wrestling in that first round and I don't think he's ever going to be better than what we saw.

He did a great job in the 1st protecting himself and stopping Khabib from transitioning when he did get to the ground. Conor had to exert a lot of energy to do it and he was in positions he's not comfortable fighting from. I think he'd need to dedicate himself to wrestling to build his cardio up on the ground.

The problem is he doesn't even have great cardio on his feet, and that's his wheelhouse. I didn't realize this, but I think it was Rogan who said he doesn't have any KO's beyond the 2nd round.

Edit for fact check: he's only had three fights go to the 3rd round, LOL

That being said, he gassed out against Diaz and Khabib and he was so gassed against Mayweather he was basically a dead man walking for 2 rounds.
