Man vs Boy

[Pearcey]

Shame it ended like that. Was a great fight.

McGregor was blown out of the water by the better fighter from start to finish, but Khabib and camp are in serious trouble for the post fight scenes..... Khabib’s trainer who sucker punched Connor after 4 rounds from behind- hang your head in shame you coward- you’re not a man doing that to someone

[Cleveleys_claret]

Sadly the sport breeds bad behaviour. Good sport but all the trash talk is only ever going to get worse as they outdo each other to sell fights. For me there is no place for it

[Winstonswhite]

i thought it was a crap fight tbh. McGregor was toyed with. Offered nothing.

Khabib even had the energy to jump out and crack one of the classless pikeys team who had called his family terrorists in the lead up. GOOD!

Both boxing and UFC are full of absolute pricks who try and sell their fights with trash talking. It’s become an absolute joke.

I wouldn’t give it that much time or energy - it’s cleary just a marketing strategy

[Cleveleys_claret]

They were talking about how he may not get a visa now for what he has done (khabib). Bit how is this any worse than what Conor did to his bus. That wasnt in a controlled environment and I havent heard of him having any visa issues.

Is this going down the route of West vs Russia?

There's already a video on YouTube of Irish and Russian fans fighting under the concourse after the event with a man being knocked out cold. What Khabib has done is unforgivable they will be brawling all over the streets of Las Vegas in to the night because of him an his teams actions.
He needs banning from the sport an i wouldn't give him or his team visas again either.
Is mcgregors still on a visa? I don't know how it works but he's lived there for years maybe he's a resident now but like i say i don't know how that stuff works so unsure if he'd still need a visa even if he was

[Tribesmen]

Just happy to see the Irish cream cracker beaten to be honest .

[cricketfieldclarets]

All the build up doesnt exactly help things. Stirring the crowd up. The fight itself should be enough to do that. At least they do truly hate each other i suppose. Unlike wilder and fury.

[FCBurnley]

Good to see Mcgregor get some of his own medicine.

He looked a bit cheesed off.

[burnleymik]

FML I fell asleep after all that.

Just reading the headlines and the news of the fight, shame the aftermath went down the way it did.

[SmudgetheClaret]

Sat up all night and feeling it today but I wasn't disappointed great fight and it went as I thought it might I just wanted Conor to land the left solid to test Khabibs chin but it didn't happen,all the silly stuff to one side and you can put that into context by comparing throwing a sack truck at the minibus and the fact that Khabibs camp do not get the banter that sells the tickets !
what impressed me the most was as soon as Conor tapped and he let him go you could see him thinking about how he will approach it in a rematch and win which I think he will do...great entertainment

He just look relieved it was all over to me.
Just as he was against Mayweather.

McGregor assaulted a vehicle window, Habib assaulted a person - Habib will and should get completely ****** by the authorities. The Nevada Governer was in the crowd and I'm pretty sure he will have plenty to say. I'll be amazed if he doesn't get banned from the US (assuming he isn't a permanent resident)

[Quickenthetempo]

With all the trash talk McGregor shouts out, I'm surprised he hasn't got kicked all over the shop.

[JayMeStar]

Words have consequences.

Now Khabib/Ferguson, please.
