gently caress loving Khabib.

Conor is doing everything he can to suck up to Putin, who is one of the biggest scumbags in the world. So there's also that

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.

Didn't see the press conference, never seen either of them fight, just wondering if you guys still think the fight between Insanity Machine Conor and Injury Machine Khabib is actually gonna happen

I don't really follow the product a whole lot so I'm askin here because you guys do

Didnt watch the presser, but a potential war criminal dagestani guy is way more likeable than an irish regular guy

I won't believe it's happening until Buffer announces their names but at least they're keeping the ridiculousness to words, so far.

Conor never pulls out of fights and Khabib seems to have put that tendancy behind him after hiring a nutritionist last year. Now that he's champ the repercussions of missing weight are potentially much higher. It's possible one of them gets injured, but I bet this one goes.

Got a bit tense when Khabib didn't like As-Salaam-Alaikum being on the same level as congratulations on your new whisky.

Is Conor more or less unlikeable than the previous Irish face of the promotion, Marcus Davis

Proper 12 is a reference to how many months Conor will get to hold the lightweight belt and do nothing with it before being unceremoniously stripped so Kevin Lee can fight Brian Ortega for the title on short notice at UFC 241.

Ok I'm on board with Conor again. Ali is a scum ball social climber and it's only a matter of time until some even worse skeleton comes out of his closet. He gives me Joe Son vibes.

Ali is an admitted former member of a terrorist group, ergo a terrorist. The feds couldn’t prove he committed an actual crime and held him for a long while before making a deal with him to turn informant.

He’s scummy but his tell all interview was super interesting, he goes into what goes on in those Islamic wilderness shanty towns around the US.

I found the press conference funny, both guys had great lines. They really hosed yo not having any kind of a crowd. Even just a couple dozen supporters from each side would have improved the atmosphere a ton.

I like both guys and am very hype for this fight.

Even Conor had to smile when Khabib said “your whiskey gonna help you in the fight?”

I actually think it's really funny that they only let press goobers in so Conor's insane promotional antics play like the videos of Ross Geller without a laugh track so he seems like a version of Patrick Batemen who was born 10 years later and got really into anime

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
how many buys do you guess this thing does? i couldn't believe it was only a couple of weeks away from the fight i'd heard so little about it. now the first press conference has happened and i haven't heard any of the casual buzz that usually starts up around about now. i don't have guys only tangentially interested in the sport asking me about poo poo. dana says they're 'on track for 2.5 million buys' and i'm going to undercut that slightly and put it closer to 750k.

If Barao is still making 50k (latest numbers I could find from mid 2017) to show Ewell just banked 15k before the fight even starts so there's that.
