Firstly I thought it was an entertaining event overall. Ferguson/Pettis was a good fight as was Mcgregor/Khabib. Quite eye opening how good Khabib is. Post fight scenes certainly weren’t good but who doesn’t like a brawl eh?
Conor certainly underestimated Khabib. To think he could take two years off from competitively fighting in the octagon and come back to beat Khabib is a little naive imo. I think a rematch would be more closely contested but ultimately end with another defeat. But the loss throws up some interesting potential fights; Diaz trilogy, Aldo rematch, and maybe Ferguson if Khabib is suspended.
As for Khabib, he absolutely had it in for Conor. Shame he stooped to Conor’s level by going wild after. I’d like to see him vs Ferguson, reckon it would be a very good watch.

Well it was only a matter of time before the idea of fully commercialising hooliganism hit the mainstream... I don't know how I feel about this, obviously I watched and will watch again... ;\

Khabib is turning into a bit of a sore winner. I wasn't initially interested in a rematch between the two but its probably the only fight McGregor will come back for so I expect to see it after whatever punishments are dealt out.
A redemption narrative for McGregor would work well in the build up

50 Cent, who loves his MMA, has offered Khabib $2M to switch to Bellator.
I'd imagine Khabib got/is due north of $10m from the McGregor fight when ppv is added to his purseUnless Bellator has a big PPV following, I don't think fiddy will be able to lure Khabib, despite what Khabib may have said on social media
