Found it very strange that there was no money to back Conor before the fight, normally at least a few hundred k goes on and lowers his price even when he's already a low price. I'd say those close to his camp and those who know how hard he's been partying over the last 2 years knew he'd be nowhere near his best or well prepared for this one. He may never get close to that level again.

A positive test for Khabib would be perfect for McG and the UFC now, not that I think Khabib is juiced. I don't think Khabib should be banned if Conor wasn't for the dolly incident.

It's hard not to be cynical, the post fight shenanigans were far more entertaining than the fight. The only reason I looked it up on youtube.

Think McGregor's hunger has gone.  Something definitely seemed to be missing.   He certainly didn't look confident when entering the Octogon.  Maybe his lifestyle over the last couple of years has caught up with him. Interesting to see where he goes from here.

books had a bigger liability on conor i think, and a lot of the irsih money was just hype, it's always been overexagerated and then on top of that there was a consistent pattern of people betting khabib every time money came in on conor. khabibs style is perfect for betting, he's amazing at what he does and is extremely consistant at it. a lot of mcgregors hype has gone too after floyd.

maybe his hungers gone a bit yeah, but I thought he looked pretty confident tbh. khabib honestly looked like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders if you re-watch his walkout.

this rematch talk is dumb, I hope ferguson finally get's his chance. he's the real champion anyway. khabib still has the fake belt. the biggest winner on saturday was by far tony ferguson. I just hope he doesnt get screwed after that epic fight with pettis. he's a terrible stylistic match up for khabib imo. if that was tony in there in round 3 on saturday khabib would be in big trouble, no way he will fade like conor. khabib's pressure gasses himself out too just usually not as much as his opponents, if he meets someone with better cardio, better striking, and dangerous everywhere he could be in for a long night in the championship rounds.

I don't get Dana's decision to fire Zubaira Tukhugov after the shenanigans.  His next fight was meant to be against Artem Lobov and we all know what happened the bus that was linked to Khabib's boys ganging up on Lobov.  This is nothing more than an undercard fight on one of the Fight Night cards but after Saturday they could easily put this up to Co-Main Event status and hype it up big time.

If Tukhogov has been sacked... and I was Bellator, I would be looking to sign him up and try and get Lobov out of his UFC deal to headline a monster fight under their promotion.  With Khabib in Tukhogov's corner and Mcgregor with Lobov, anything could happen.

UFC are using WWE style tactics to promote these days, yes.
