Khabid v McGregor

[lloyd mayflower]

What we are basically seeing here is the other side of the coin in terms of UFC (unlike boxing, and to its benefit usaully) being a one man band. It gets lauded because White sanctions the fights the fans want to see. One division one belt etc....

However, White is a business guy. Regardless of duristiction he could have punished Conor in some way for the bus thing. Instead, he chose to use it to make and promote a fight between Conor and Khabib. Business took precedence there. Thats just what it is.

Now..... The optics are slightly different and Danas business decision will be made based on that. He might just let the NSAC do the dirty work for him.

As far as apportioning blame goes, no one is to blame for the after fight fun except Khabib. He is the one who jumped over the fence. Danis is and was a dick. Conor is and was a dick. Dana should have cooled it pre fight as it was getting out of hand. All those points stand up on their own merit. All three men individually had a role to play in the circumstances. You dont have to absolve one party in order to blame the other.

But War is absolutely correct that Khabibs actions were his own. Whilst I can understand what he did and why, that doesnt mean I can excuse them. Just like if I punched someone for calling me names in the street. Ultimately there would be a reason why I did it, but not an excuse.
