White privilege.
Even if they did that Khabib would easily take it back the first chance he got. Connor is an easy fight for him.

UFC 229 main event ends in insanity

Not the same thing.
It was personal between Dannis and Khabib, he was talking shit and asking Khabib to come to him and Khabib did what he wanted.
Would I be smiling? No, more shaking my head in disbelief at the dipshit who walked up to me and said dumb shit about my Mum. Then I'd walk away. I'm sure some of the "real world" types will call that cowardly, I don't particularly care, I'm not into pummelling people in general. Someone tries to physically attack me or go after someone I care about, then it'll get physical. Until then, nah, name-calling isn't enough to 'fuck someone up' over.
Then again, I'm a white guy. I'd imagine it becomes a bit different when racial shit is involved. I've never had to live that, never had to endure it, so I can see that being the mother of all triggers.
For the record, I think McGregor should've been fired for the bus incident. I also think Khabib should be fired for that brawl into the crowd. That shit could've lead to deaths if other audience members decided to tear shit up. Paul Daley got shit-canned for sucker punching Josh Koschek after a round ended...let's get back to that level of discipline. Colourful characters can still exist and give interviews and talk trash...shit like McGregor and Khabib have pulled shouldn't be tolerated.
Sounds like he comes from an upper middle class background where the worst thing that's happened to him or his neighbourhood is a cat got caught up in a tree and it took every fireman in town to rescue it.
People who have never experienced conflict don't know how to react to it.
The brawl was dumb and a stupid reaction. I get why it happened though, and I am not going to clutch my pearls over it. I have been following MMA for over 20 years by now, and training martial arts for longer. I know what I am into and I am not going to pretend it is something that it is not. MMA is modern bloodsport, it is gladiatorial combat sanitized for TV. It is barely controlled violence. I love it for it.
Oh, and don't forget, the personal, family and religious insults spread to the public over videos and tweets for millions to see.
Also don't forget that Khabib's countrymen kidnap, bomb and shootup places for lesser things than what McGregor did. He is probably considered to be one of the more tamed and well accustomed ones.

Jesus fucking Christ 4-5 of the most overly asinine people i've ever ever encountered on the internet.
Masoyama - Are you telling me that gives him a pass to do whatever he wants if someone says something he doesn't like?
Full metal - you keep ignoring everything and going back to the same tired excuse, you act like I haven't fought people before you'd be wrong, but to literally fight anyone who says something against you or something you believe in? That's literally kid shit
Cartridge - What in the fuck are you talking about? He had to defend himself because someone mocked him? He's allowed to
Physically assault someone because they
mocked him and he got his feelings hurt?
Kalosmani - if a random strangers words hurt you that bad then you are actually quite sad. This shit happens daily to people in the world and not everyone jumps to violence in fact a lot of people don't but hey, keep believing that everyone just respond to anyone difficult with violence. You might want to stay away from the internet though.

Yeah not even close but you believe what you need to. I was raised to defend myself when needed but not use violence as a crutch whenever something I didn't like happened to me
No argument from me. A healthy Khabib will smesh Number One Bullshit every time.
Stop acting like Khabib went after some random stranger in the crowd just because he called him a mean name one time.
Dillon Danis is a fighter, there has been animosity between him and Khabib going back many years, he has been stoking the fires publicly in the buildup to this fight and he was still talking shit and trying to provoke Khabib from ring side during and after the fight.
The man made it personal and while I don't condone what Khabib did, it's hard to argue that Danis didn't deserve a bit of a smack.
I mean, just look at this prick:

You got maybe 4-5 Khabib Stans or something in here and it's mind blowing
That's covered under the name-calling. Millions of people I'll never meet see an idiot insult my family? It couldn't hold less personal feeling for me if they tried. It's noise, especially in the context of fight build. I'm not a saint or someone trying to point out how awfully moral they are, it's just that that kind of insult from a stranger just doesn't affect me anymore. I've got other shit to worry about.
How exactly is Khabib in the wrong here?
Conor and his team started it ffs.
Lmao not everyone has the privelage to use their 32', 4K HDR monitor to see the morally high ground happy place that is the internet and all it's glory.
You're right in the general sense, violence should be avoided. But in this context, Dana and Mcgregor shouldn't be allowed to get away with it. Unless again you support the double standard
Yep. Fuck Danis. The motherfucker was literally asking for it.
Yes he is a fighter, which is exactly why it shouldn't have happened. They can both sign a contract and fight legally.
This is so absolutely wrong. They have contracts with different promotions and no athletic commission would agree to this. You would never sign a fight between the most dominant lightweight in history and a guy that has 1 fight ever.
I already said Conor should have got suspended for the shit he pulled before no arguments from me at all.
We are finally getting to the understanding, general sense some random dude says stupid shit no violence needed. Someone is attacking you, your family etc physically or continuously like a school bully by all means knock that motherfucker out
If you think Khabib was fine just jumping into a crowd and potentially causing untold injury and stoking crowd rioting then we have nothing to discuss.
He went after Danis, not the crowd. Danis asked for it and got it. He literally asked Khabib to come at him.
I think literally everyone has understood this my god...
People were not obviously not taking about throwing a punch after one word
Danis was in a crowd. You think those people wanted a killer like Khabib jumping on them?
I never said he had to nuts. All I'm saying is humans have emotions and if you insult people to death don't be surprised if you get a punch to the teeth.
Humans aren't robots.
You know what actually, outside of Drake I think most were okay with it. I don't doubt a lot of the public was actually excited by this
So? He didn't touch anybody other than Danis. Danis himself knew what he was doing by trying to get Khabib to come to him.
You're painting posters here as people who would resort to fighting after just one word. When obviously everyone meant after being provoked countlessly. Dude you just don't get it...
why would someone taunting you make it legal or appropriate to attack them?
I think even the Conor stans were internally happy with it. Now they have reason to be faux outraged.
You ever caught up in a scuffle before? People get accidentally hit, people get knocked over.
Stop reaching to excuse this shitty behaviour, it's the sort of shit I expect from Conor Stans.
A mad brawl? How is him punching Danis a mad brawl when it was stopped before it even started?
Agreed completely and he did punch Conor's face in multiple times, then flew in the crowd which was silly because he just beat the holy hell out of the dude who was ragging on him throughout this build up
He literally gave him permission to come at him. Did you even watch the video?
That's not what it looked to me. Security got involved the moment he jumped and nobody got hurt.
Danis is with Bellator, yes. He'll be in the UFC in short time, they could've waited till then, probably a year or two then they can fight. Plenty of other fighters have waited, Ortiz and Sonnen being one example. Khabib can wait too, zero reason to go into the crowd and potentially have a riot start up cause he was being taunted.
Nothing at all stopped the UFC from laying out penalties for Connor and such for his actions, they choose not to do a damn thing and Dana even brushed the whole thing off.
Dude, the shit you guys are saying line up with words from someone leading to violence which shouldn't happen hardly ever. You're hypothetical if someone said this to you should not led to violence and that's exactly what happened here
rofl nobody is going to book or sanction a fight between Khabib and Danis. They're in different promotions. Danis has one pro fight in his career, Khabib is one of the best in the world. Danis is a weight class or two above Khabib.
How do you propose they arrange this fight?
Security had no control of this situation at all, and regardless of how good a job the security team did, this doesn't excuse the intent of his actions.
