Once again he was being accused of this months ago and they were still willing to do business with him. You be serious, this is the UFC a company known for it's shady business practices and only caring about their bottom line. If they were so concerned about public image like you say they...

The UFC aren't going to suspend anything, they want him to fight, they just aren't going to overpay him. These allegations have been floating around for months and the UFC were still trying to get him to fight. Don't be silly now, the UFC is going to do what they want to make money and that...

People love controversy, that's why news tabloids etc sell. Shit like this will only make more people tune in hoping he gets his ass beat.

You have zero idea how much money the dude spends, you see his social media accounts which I can guarantee that almost anything money related posted is comped to him for exposure. He spends a lot less than most of you think, he has barely fought in the past three years and his brand is fine. He...

Conor's drawing power has only gone up after every single one of his losses.

Obviously because they're stupid. Yet Conor has shown to be anything, but stupid when it comes to negotiations and his money. He has made all the right moves at every point in his career. He is not going broke and that kills his haters.

Even if Conor beat Khabib he would be playing the same card right now except with even more leverage. The new PPV model is a huge blow to him and he clearly wants compensation for that. Khabib didn't retire anyone, if you think Conor wouldn't take another beating from Khabib for the right price...

He doesn't need to keep it strong, he just needs a decent brand name to bet set for life. Hell his social media accounts can pay for damn near everything in his life as well, nearly everything posted on his social media is already more than likely sponsored and comped anyways as well. There...

Man child? That is someone who knows their worth and won't be pushed around in negotiations. Everyone knows the UFC is notorious with disrespecting fighters in negotiations and offering peanuts. This happens every day with contract workers everywhere in the world. When one side won't budge and...

Khabib's striking is definitely improving, but he couldn't even win a striking battle with a seriously gassed McGregor. There's a reason that Khabib didn't try and strike standing at all until McGregor was gassed after the first round. Very smart strategy by Khabib, but no he's not the better...

His social media business is first or second.

What do white people have to do with that? Are you assuming the OPs skin color? Why must white people learn that to begin with? Can't it just be people? Why bring a race up in your response at all? <seedat>

You trust the cage fighter who's recollection of the series of events is clouded? You're going to trust the fighter who said that he couldn't hear Herb because both his ears were covered by Askren while that is 100% false?

Chiesa vs Lee and that was by far a deeper choke that what Robbie was in.

Well Robbie either lied when he said that both his ears were covered by Ben's body thus he couldn't hear Herb or his memory of what was happening to him in that moment is wrong. Either way it's not a good look for him and thus his recollection of what was going on can't be trusted on the matter.

It's always been that way, it's like turtling up when you're taking shots to avoid damage and recollect yourself, by the rules you can't just do lay there and do nothing. I don't see why submissions should be any different, it should come as no surprise that a fight gets stopped when a fighter...

No he didn't, Herb let go of the arm, his arm swung around a bit, gave a brief "thumbs up" and then it went right back to the ground. He didn't even bother to keep his arm up. He wasn't attempting to fight back in a fight at all.

Because Robbie did ignore Herb multiple times, the only time Robbie responded was by slightly moving his arm, giving a very very brief "thumbs up" and then letting his hand fall back to the canvas. He was giving all the signs of a fighter not fighting. If Robbie were on top of Ben throwing...

What compromised position would Robbie have had to put himself in to tell Herb he was okay? He wasn't fighting the submission AT ALL so there's no way he could have compromised his position any worse than it already was. Why would Robbie assume the fight is going to get stopped? Maybe because...

I'm looking at the entire sequence starting with a limp arm falling to the ground, to a ref inches from a fighters face and ear asking him to respond, fighter still isn't responding, to the ref checking an arm and clearly not satisfied with what he still sees or feels, to calling the fight, to...
