If Conor’s happy with fellow fighter losing control due in large part to his (Conor) terrible displays of violence and viciousness over the last few months then he’s truly lost. If that’s a “win” in his book...then screw him. But in the end analysis, both will make even more money in the future...
Conor probably has the skill to be #1 but seems to come up short sometimes in heart. If focused less on horsesh*t he might be dominant at LW, as he was at BW. Honestly though I don’t think he can handle some of the other top guys. Much harder to fight guys the same size as you or lil bigger...
Well he’s gettin Cormier in less than a month. No way Derrick’s going to be ready for that. Two fights in one month?! I predict a back injury sometime in the next 3 weeks although I really hope that doesn’t happen to him.
Meanwhile by jumping out of the cage Khabib may have ensured a rematch. A rematch where he will earn more than the $2 million purse for this fight. A rematch that would be utterly unjustified otherwise. I’m not saying Khabib planned it out that way but it certainly means he will make millions...
This is what happens when you allow athletes to disparage religion, family, country...all for the sake of PPV buys. I get it but there can be repercussions.
I think Conor (out of the corner of his eye) saw one of Khabib’s camp jump up on the cage and likely thought the dude was coming for him. I appreciate Conor’s skills but I am not a fan of his and the intensely personal trash talk he employs is disgraceful but in that instance him throwing...
Not good for all the fighters on the card. Flimsy main event will lead directly to fewer buys, so less exposure for all the fighters on the card. But maybe it’ll be an amazing fight that millions watch for free on YouTube.
Power play? If Diaz vs Poirier is the co-main and a bigger fight is still in the works and gets announced ...then DvP would be relegated to third position and out of the co-main spot. Demotes them further and perhaps pay/PPV cut implications as well. Not sure bout any of that but guessing anyways.
Wasn’t Khabib saying that in response to Conor’s retorts about language? Paraphrasing: “I speak four languages while you only speak one.” I don’t think it had anything to do with the conquering thing. Could be wrong though.
