but if the spirit of the rule is to protect players—which clearly did not happen here—then why wasn’t something even temporarily called?

I think that’s what Khabib was talking about when he called it a sport of respect.

Got one better: remember when the Repubs and their propoganda arm went apeshit over the GSA’s trip to Vegas during the previous Administration (despite it was a planned convention years in advance)? Speaking of which...

“Whatever you think of Conor, at least respect the guy”

Fuck her too! Both of them, sideways with a rusty anchor.

Mother would not approve.

Indiana’s only worthwhile contribution is corn which is like giving water credit for being wet, the whole state is like a fucking open air walmart that gives voice to horrible politicians with backward, regressive views. Burn that fucker to the ground and break out the salt.

Fuck Mike Pence. 

Did we have a black president then? If so, that makes all the difference in the world. 

Remember when Fox News and WaPo flipped out over $16 muffins at Justice Department training events?

I’m tired of the Angry White ManTM. (Wish I knew how to do superscript) Just...enough already. Sit down and shut up.

I wish Pence and Trump would shoot themselves and die already.

Khabib should not have jumped over the cage to attack Conor’s BJJ guy who was spouting verbal garbage at him throughout his big moment. He should indeed be penalized.

I haven’t seen anyone justify Khabib’s actions.  What I do see is a lot of people wanting Dana and the UFC to admit that they did spur this on.  They sat idly by and let Connor say vile things all because it sold PPVs.  Now the ramifications of letting Connor run wild and using his words in their marketing campaign…

There are 100%, without a fucking doubt, McGregor fans (not all, but for sure some) who are indulging in white power fantasy with him. The brash, swag, shit taking white guy comes in and insults (usually racially) and beats up brown people? They fucking love it.

Connor and White seemed to be the only ones not picking up on the fact that Khabib was not fucking playing. Connor comes out like a cartoon villain, insulting Khabib’s family, manager, culture and religion, he throws a fake fucking kick at the weigh in and Khabib does nothing. Because you know where he’s from it’s not…

I honestly can’t read anyone praising McGregor for anything—and I have relatives who adore him—without wondering how they’d feel about him if his skin was a few shades darker.

 It's actually more like an asshole swallowing itself

So like, the Venn diagram of people who still like McGregor and MAGA chuds is a single overlapping circle, right?
