    “From a fight standpoint the first round is mine”

    “Round 2 he is running away around the cage before being blessed with a right hand that changed the course of the round, and the fight”

    “Disengage”

    That’s certainly one way of trying to spin it :giggle1: hopefully he’s serious about fighting someone else first.

    Would love to see him against Gaethje or Pettis. Even someone like Lee.

    Aye cause if it was a real fight khabib wouldn't have just sat on top of him and smashed his face again. Maybe if it was a street fight McGregor would have cheated some more. He got embarrassed, doesn't deserve a rematch.

    Got a cheek to talk about anyone running away when that's all he done the 3rd round of Diaz 2.

    I think Khabib beats him 9 out 10 times, it's a bad style match up and Khabib has improved his stand up to an extent that he can cope with elite strikers like Conor when he has to. Conor did look off to me, and I hope that money has not ruined him but he needs to be far more professional no more whisky or * about doing over things. He looked slower in his reactions and Khabib took his power with ease and that's worrying. Conor needs to train hard get that hunger or retire otherwise he will ruin his legacy if he ends up losing more fights.

    Mad how Conor puts out a pretty honest and humble review of the fight and people still just pick it apart, criticising the points where he gives himself credit. * can’t win with some people.

    Funny he never mentioned his constant cheating throughout the fight. He would have been finished sooner when khabib was attacking a kimura if McGregor didn't dig his toes into the fence, hold his shorts then hit khabib with an illegal knee.

    First time I’ve heard of toes preventing a kimura and if knees off your back are illegal then all knees should be illegal.

    He was unable to pull mcgregors arm over and get his body off the canvas because he was holding his shorts and had his toes interlocked in the fence. Regardless of if you think that should be an illegal knee or not is irrelevant and doesn't change the rules. Are you actually defending cheating?

    Some of his comments were factual, some were a load of * but you cannot help but admire his laser like confidence in himself.

    It is absolutely unshakeable. He could have been Jose Aldo’d and still convince himself and other people he should have won.

    Does come across as sour grapes and excuses throughout a lot of it..

    If I didn't do this it would've been different yada yada..

    He got weighed in, simple as that..

    Think it's a certainty they'll fight again now seeing that though. Daft or brave, you can see he'll deffo take the rematch instead of * off caked as he is..

    :56:You’re such a wee angel!

    No I’m not defending cheating. I’m saying it really made no difference. Cheat or no cheat, what happened happened and will happen again 9 times out of 10.
