Then they used it as promo to help sell the fight.

Thats what Khabib is pissed the most about... they basically gave CM a slap on the wrist and now wanna fire people and make Khabib out to be some terrible POS person. In Khabibs own words, he didnt start this, simply finished it.

When Connor does these type things they present it as "oh that's just Connor, he's a crazy Irishman who sells fights"... when Khabib does it ONCE he's some Muslim Terrorist from Russia... its a double standard, clear as day.

I'm sorry, but this just isn't accurate. This is the kind of stuff you hear from the media and part time, casual fans who don't follow the sport closely.

Dana didn't punish Conor for the bus incident, nor will he punish Khabib for this latest incident. When Conor threw his "bus tantrum" in the Barclay Center in New York (as a result of Khabib and his entourage slapping one of McGregor's teammates previously), it was the state of New York and the police Conor had to deal with, not Dana White and the UFC. Conor getting a plea deal, a reduced fine, and community service with no time served, again, has zero to do with Dana White or the UFC.

Khabib's current troubles, likewise, have zero to do with the UFC. The UFC isn't withholding Khabib's purse or threatening to suspend him, it is the Nevada State Athletic Commission that is withholding his purse, and the Nevada State Athletic Commission who will decide how long he is to be punished.

The only decision Dana White and the UFC have to make is whether to strip Khabib after he gets suspended. And there is no way Khabib or his whiney fans can claim Conor gets preferential treatment there. Conor's been stripped twice of his titles. Jon Jones has been stripped. GSP has been stripped. Daniel Cormier is about to get stripped. The UFC gives no fucks when it comes to stripping champions. You fight, or you get stripped. Doesn't matter what the reason is. They strip you if you can't fight due to injuries, if you get suspended, or if you just sit on the title and refuse to fight. It's all happened, and recently.

The reason why Khabib is going to get it rough is because he pulled his shit at an event sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Conor didn't. Conor's attorneys were able to negotiate and reach a plea deal with the D.A. There's no such thing to be done with the NSAC. But in no way is this somehow Dana or the UFC's fault. It's Khabib's, for throwing a third world temper tantrum in a first world country.
