They have hearings later in October but they already said the incident won't be touched until their hearing in November. This would be where Khabib and Conor say sorry etc while they discuss the findings of the investigation.

Who will be best friends?! Who will reveal their balls don't work? Who will invoke the 5th amendment without actually understanding it? Find out on the next episode of "Monthly Nevada State Athletic Commission Hearing".

Peak SBG fighter imitating McGregor was some Irish kid in Bellator who had a similar chest tattoo of a lion being super arrogant and then getting starched hard inside a round.

I wondered this about SBG. I've seen people talk it up as an elite MMA camp at the same level as AKA or Jackson-Wink, but that sounds ridiculous to me. AKA have a bunch of champions. JW has fallen off a bit but they have had a bunch of champions. SBG has Conor and then... as far as I can tell, Conor and then daylight.

Edit: lol, he got loving superkicked. Someone call The Young Bucks and tell them about this egregious trademark violation

quote:

McGregor is a superstar because being violent and out of control is great, lawful business. It is the ultimate pornography. The UFC are missing some tricks. Think of how much more money they could make if the winning fighter, still drenched in blood, got to have sex on stage with a glamorous prostitute as part of his prize. Or better still, what about offering any female in the audience $50,000 to come up on stage and screw him? That would bring in millions more in revenue. PPVs would go off the charts. The kids would love it. The best girls would become superstars. Why not?

I know 2 people personally in the UFC. One went to train with Team Alpha Male to get UFC level training, one picked SBG.

One won his first fight with British Wrestling, the other got wrestled and submitted in R1.

Guess which one is which.

The Alpha Male guy won, the SBG "wrestler" got annihilated.

The local hotshot from my town (Hakeem Dawodu) decided trying to do a camp at SBG for his first UFC fight and got starched in 1 minute. Obviously you can't blame that on the gym and the guy doesn't expliclty poo poo talk the team, but whenever he's asked about he tends to make a quick remark about how the camp didn't go the way he was hoping before changing the subject.

He trained at home (with a couple of dates at some other gyms for sparring practice) for his last fight and looked...much better and won his 2nd fight with a dominant decision. I mean, obviously there's no way to not look better no matter what you do coming back after a 1 minute loss. But he certainly hasn't exactly been very excited to endorse SBG.

I'm glad the thread found this one, I got as far as "my 13 year old son was staying up all night with his pals" and rolled my eyes so hard I almost died. (He's an irish sports pundit who doesn't seem to really like sports - I get the impression hes really into "fit young men" running around in "noble comraderie" though.)

stop the fucking fight, cornerman, your dude is fucking done and is about to be killed.
Apparently kabob's dad said that Conor offered kabob 15mil for the rematch which was declined. He wants Tony and then GSP who has expressed interest and then retire. Reddit speculates that fighting one more to make a nice 30-0 wouldn't be out of the question if he wins. Perhaps the ww champ for what would be a GOAT resume.

Anyway, I lol'd at how up the wall that rejection would drive Conor.

It was his uncle, but his dad has said previously that the plan is Ferguson - GSP - Whoever has the 170 belt - retirement.

The GSP fight is fascinating and I would love to see it. I'd have liked it much better if GSP was a little closer to his prime but stylistically he presents a very difficult obstacle for khabib so it should still be great.

I do wonder if Conor will allow him to walk away or if he'll keep offering more. Conor may want to be remembered as arguably the best to have ever done it. That will be a very hard sell if there is an un-avenged beating of that magnitude floating around. Or maybe Conor is just content to be stupidly well paid and not give a gently caress about legacy.
