UFC 229 : The Humble Pie

in #ufc6 years ago (edited)

Don't Poke The Bear

Khabib Nurmagomedov defeated "The Notorious" Conor Mcgregor, in a one sided a** whooping at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

The Russian Eagle defeated the Irishman with a "neck crank" in round 4, retaining the title and beating Conor in such a humiliating fashion, and a true masterclass.

All hell broke lose after the fight when in the heat of the moment Khabib jumped out of the cage to confront Conor's BJJ coach Dillon Dennis who was still shouting insults at the Russian fighter.

ORDO AB CHAO (ORDER OUT OF CHAOS)

The truth is , Dana White(UFC President) could have foreseen this one coming and is responsible for the fiasco.
It's been now years that his golden boy Conor Mcgregor has evolved from the hard-working kid from Dublin humble in victory and defeat, to this spoiled brash personality banking on racist rants to get his message across, and the organization let it happen, encouraged it numerous times.

MONEY

One can just contemplate the bias of Dana White and the journalists toward Conor McGregor, even after such a square beating,
I guess it's just easier to focus on the aftermath of the politics than the fight itself, as the Russian sambo wrestler was faster, stronger, on the ground and standing too, trading shots, even dropped the Notorious with a right hand.

This is not something that the UFC wants to focus on, their golden boy is paid $50 millions for this fight compared to the $2 millions purse for Khabib that are currently "withheld after the post-fight brawl" until the Nevada Athletic Commission decided otherwise.

Everyone remember Conor throwing a dolly on Khabib's bus in April, injuring several fighters in the process, that got him a slap on the wrist, avoiding jail time by pleading guilty

"Send me a location. I'm going to come. Wherever you want. Ireland, New York, Brooklyn or Moscow. It doesn't matter. Tell me where!"
Khabib

Bad Blood

One could argue that Conor crossed the line on the day of the bus attack, but the truth is that things have been said at the last press conference prior to the fight, that probably sealed the deal for the Irishman.

After insulting his family, his father, his brothers, his ethnicity, his culture, offering alcohol to a devout Muslim almost as an ultimate sign of disrespect, it was a matter of time before the trashtalk backfires on Conor McGregor.
You see, Khabib Abdulmanapovich Nurmagomedov is from Dagestan, Russia, and they don't f**ck around with respect and legacy.
This is pretty much what his father trained him for since he was a kid.

Disclaimer: That was entertaining though:)

What's next for Khabib?
