Khabib is a beast, but he is a bit of a cringey idiot at times.

I know it’s cultural differences, but just some of his sound bites and quotes sound a bit daft at times.

Fantastic. I would have pointed out the paradox but you're consistent. Can't argue with that!

Overrated Conor M. Vs Cowboy cerrone 

[True Blue]

Cowboy should kill him if he manages to improve his slow start in every fight.

[Rick]

Curiosity is gonna get the better of me and I’ll end up buying it. 

[Rick]

Cerrone just got fucking wrecked in 30 seconds. 
 

I spent £20 for that hahahahaha

[Spike]

If there was ever a fixed fight, that was it.

You see those shoulder shots? 

I believe there are guys who have taken a dive in sports, no doubt. However, I don’t think Cerrone is that man. Can’t agree with you.

Yeah, I saw all three of 'em, saw Cerrone stare right into McGregor's shoulder and beg for them to land onto his chin with zero resistance.

Everyone dives when you dump a truckload of money in front of their house.

Ridiculous comment. Cerrones owner arm is trapped by conor in the clinch. It’s just an enginuituve way to strike from that position. 

Cerrone is a game fighter but in striking Conor is elite he was always going to blow cowboy away

 

[DeadLinesman]

His arm isn’t trapped. At all. In fact Cerrone is almost grabbing to keep hold of McGregors back. Nobody is that fucking stupid.

[Rick]

A photo still proves nothing. You could see Conor had hold of him. Those elbows cane thick and fast. The replay shows he got stunned by the second one to connect. 
 

I get people dislike Conor, and don’t want to see him do well but I think it’s really disingenuous to say that this was fixed. We gonna say all the other guys McGregor has finished took a dive too? 
 

He was focused for this fight. Knew exactly what he was going to do. And as much as I like Cerrone, he isn’t on McGregors level.

the angle on that photo is wrong, it’s the other side watch the tweet conor has Cerrone’s arm by the bicep. 

[DeadLinesman]

You can’t control someone’s arm and simultaneously smash them with the same shoulder connected to the same arm. Even on that angle, nothing is trapped.

[Spike]

Sod off with the ‘people hate McGregor’ nonsense, that doesn’t change the quality of the fight, which was piss.

Well it’s was hardly a fight so not sure you can judge it as such. Two men came out and one gave the other a quick hiding. 
 

Going straight to “it was fixed” is equally annoying as anything the Connor fanboys are saying.

It's textbook. Have UFC's biggest star return after a hiatus, feed him a veteran, make the star look strong, and rake in the money. Dana White could have emptied his entire bank-account into Cerrone's purse and it still would have been cheaper than McGregor losing.

I don't think the fight was 'fixed'. However. Cowboy is years past his peak, and his weakness was always getting bumrushed and unloaded on early.. The UFC picked the right guy to take a fall and make a splash. But I don't believe Cowboy took a pile of cash to lose. 

I do think that if Conor was in deep water Herb would have 'given him every chance" and that if Cowboy were on his back then Herb would have ended it quickly 'for the safety of the fighter' And that if things went to the score card then even if Conor had clearly lost the mysterious pts system would have put him on top. But none of that was needed. 

Now hopefully he gets murdered by Khabib again, or Ferguson. But I doubt it. They'll feed him some more small fish before risking the cash train derailing.
