stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
Conor was completely ineffective except for literally one punch where he lamped khabib pretty loving hard and khabib turned his head and spat while looking bored.

I'm catching up on the TUF fights, skipping the whole buildup, on Fight Pass.

3rd Episode Gastellum tells his fighter between rounds, "I need you to get your hips in hard. Kind of like with your wife OK?"

The best part about that Derrick Lewis interview is when he does that "oh and one last thing" bit that fighters always use to thank god and their camp and their family and he gets the appropriate zoom-in, and is just like "hey joe rogan lets smoke some weed soon"

it's been fun to see people in the leftist circles i am part of (although mostly peripherally) who don't normally watch fights make khabib a representative of high-ground morally righteous anger. they have so much to learn about the depravity of this fine sport

As a leftist and socialist, that is some dumb poo poo. There is no one in fight sports (besides fat dad DC) who should be held up as an example or as a way to be. Its real good that Conor and his team were humbled but Khabib is not a good dude to hold up as an example of the minority experience in America considering he spends the majority of his time in Russia and his family supports their own lovely oppressive regimes.

i saw some passing around a video of Conor using 'racial slurs' and self congratulating his loss. the vid is like, Conor calling Mayweather's off screen bodyguards (white dudes) juice head monkeys. like if you want to call him racist without being deceiving & misleading just use the footage from the same loving press tour a night earlier where he said he was "half black from the waist down"

Associate Justice Lena "Kegels" Dunham: An uncool thought to have: 'is that guy walking in the dark behind me a rapist? Never mind, he's Asian.
Momentum was in Conor's favor. He won R3 on all 3 judges' scorecards and was well on his way to winning R4 before Khabib caught him with a fluke takedown. Should be an easy rematch for Conor IMO, he has Khabib's timing down pat now.

How's that? Am I an honorary Irish now?

Shaun Al Shati pointed out that Conor is 1-3 in his big PPV events. Eventually his appeal is gonna wear off but given how long people wore Affliction clothing, it won't be anytime soon.

Beat Mendes on a fairly fuckin big PPV, then beat Aldo, and has also beaten Alvarez all on big shows. I don't know how anybody comes up with "4" as a number of big PPV events Connor has done.
