UFC 223: Nurmagomedov vs ??? Info Prediction, MCGREGOR ATTACKS BUS LOL!

[Sithara007]

Hahaha, Conor is really brilliant . You can say what you want, but this guy always provides entertainment, now by attacking a bus  .

I guess it is all staged. These people will do anything to increase the viewership and revenue. McGregor may be out of detention already. BTW... Is it now confirmed who is going to fight Nurmagomedov? First it was Ferguson, then it was Holloway...

I guess its confirmed because aside from CBS Sports reporting that its Al Iaquinta who will fight Nurmagomedov, I also checked UFC profile of Al Al Iaquinta and it now shows his upcoming fight which is with Khabib Nurmagomedov. Its a very short notice and if Al Iaquinta can pull this one off then his name will be in the history books.

^  Pretty much doubt Iaquinta chances here...  But yeah, weird stuff happens.

Anyway here are the weigh ins.  I am so bummed out with this event that I skipped it all the way to Nama vs JJ weigh ins and face off and then quit the video.  Lol.

Staged or not, it was entertaining to watch  .
But I am wondering when we will see Conor back in the UFC, as his last match is already a long time ago. There are even rumours that Conor would go to the WWE (following Rousey).

It wasn't staged as they arrested him and he lost any championships he held because he did want to fight his last contender that wanted to fight him as he declined a matchup to defend it.

I did not find this incident interesting, if he is really a tough guy, he should have proved that by accepting the fight rather than injuring other fighters and making a big mess, in the beginning this was one of the best cards and now three fights are already dropped just because of this hooliganism and i am sure   Al Iaquinta is not prepared to fight Khabib even though i was picking him for winning the bout against Paul Felder.

Mcgregor just cost himself alot of money instead of making any by taking the fight.
So he injured the main even fighter on the bus?

@babygun. It is like a reality TV show hehehe. I also remember Dana talking about Conor fighting Khabib in UFC Russia. Maybe this is the start of the drama being engineered by the UFC.

@yugyug. We know. Khabib will fight Al Iaquinta now for the real lightweight title hehe.

I have Habib to win against this substitute on the main card anyways so it is good.

Lost my JJ bet.  Now wonder her line was fading...  But it's nice to see Namajunas finally becoming undisputed champ.  Now we can say her win vs JJ is now fluke.  GJ Nama.  I will be looking forward in warching more of her bouts.

I would say it was a close fight and i gave rounds first and second to Rose but three and four is won by Joanna Jedrzejczyk and the fifth one was a close one, but how on earth these judges got 49-46 even, i think the late take down by Rose in the fifth round sealed that round for her, but the scoring is just bull shit. When it comes to Khabib i do not understand why he was standing and trading in third and fourth round, he was popping in jabs but he showed some vulnerability in this fight.

I read most of the people here telling it was staged, I agree with you all. It's a pure business as usual.

After Conor McGregor fought inside the boxing ring I lose trust in him or maybe to the whole boxing industry and UFC because dignity as a fighter is not an issue to them anymore for as long as they get a big paycheck at the end of the day. Entertainment at its finest, you can really feel who is true and not nowadays, let them do what they want though but only those gullible will believe this shits.

No way it was staged, He is in jail right now bro because his stupid decision on the bus. I mean why they staged this? McGregor is so damn rich and i'm sure he still has much money from the last "money" fight against mayweather. What i want right now is McGregor vs Nurmagomedov!

It's gonna cost him though. They are going to use him not only for the injuries but also lost opportunities for a fight = lost fame, breach of contract, and so on. He can also get kicked out of UFC or suspended (more likely suspended). I don't think it was worth it. He went too far this time, didn't think.

Agree. I don't think that it is staged as well. It already involves the police here and his mugshot all over the web right now. Maybe Conor is getting out of hand now, with all the money he earn from that fight against Floyd Mayweather.

Bad luck for Dana though, it will really cost him and the company not just only money but the reputation they have put throughout the years. This is not WWE, I understand this is business, but sometimes you have to put some distance with your fighters under contract. He's their current superstar that brings lot of money in the table, so its gonna be interesting as to what direction UFC will go here.

[bering]

i have recently watching review matches Nurmagomedov vs Iaquinta and Nurmagomedov are fully dominate the game since round 1 and although he was win with unanimous decision but Nurmagomedov is deserve as the new champion however most of people in my country does not talking about this match but they more likely talking for why Mcgregor attack the bus

I don't also think it was staged, Conor is just crazy  . I am curious to see what Dana White will do with this, probably fine Conor and suspend him but I don't think they will kick him out of the UFC. Conor is still the money making machine in the UFC even though he hasn't fighted in more than a year now.

Story so far: Conor was stripped of both the UFC featherweight belt @ 145 lbs and the lightweight belt @ 155 lbs. He is mad about that. Then Khabib and his team cornered Conor's teammate, Artem Lobov and there is a video clip of Khabib lightly slapping Artem on the head floating around youtube. Afterward Conor flew from ireland to new york to throw things through the windows of Khabib's bus in retaliation.

I think Conor's court hearing is in june or july 2018. He'll have to return to new york and face whatever charges people file against him. Initially Dana White said Conor would be sued to the full extent of the law. Later on, Dana seemed to calm down and said what Conor did wasn't as bad as things which happen in other sports. I don't think Conor will be sued too badly the damage he inflicted didn't seem too severe. Michael Chiesa got a few small cuts. And Ray Borg might have gotten glass in his eye. Don't think either injuries were too bad though.

Correct mate, there's is also rumor that Khabib cornered Conor's team mate asking why he doesn't want to face Khabib (well we don't know if Conor doesn't want to fight Khabib or still hyping the fight).

Maybe Dana that this drama will bring a lot of money in the table when all the suspensions and court hearings are done and Conor goes back to UFC and fight again. Him paying for the damages is nothing compare to the money he made with Floyd's fight so I think he can cover it. They are all business man so sooner or later when everything is calm down, we will see the drama unfold on the octagon itself, Khabib vs Conor, to break all UFC PPV records.

[Lionidas]

Khabib would destroy Connor and I think he knows this doing that tantrum on the bus and hurting the fighters on there.
McGregor can get deported out of the country since he was convicted in a US court of law and travelling on a visa.
Shouldn't he be more worried about this since now he has a criminal record?

The case with Artem Lobov is different, as he was talking a ton of shit about Khabib and calling him chicken in an Russian interview and that is the reason Khabib questioned this when they met in the hotel lobby and now it is a big drama show, even though the UFC lost some fights because of the altercation i am sure this will be the biggest pay per view fight and it will be a big one for them and they even started promoting the fight.

I don't know if he can destroy Conor but it will be interesting to see those 2 fighters squaring off. Well as MMA fans, this is want we have been wanting to see for years but Khabib got injured and Conor fights goes to boxing to make more money.

Is he still in the US though? I thought he went back already but I might be wrong. UFC might be thinking a lot this days and trying to figure out the best way to make a lot of money from this diva (Conor). I'm sure that Dana will not just simply removed from the roster, suspension will be enough in my opinion.
