Fucking with Muslims never ends well.

Conor is spiraling out of control

If he has any actual friends the time for them to step
in has long passed
i doubt he has any friends left at this point . he is exhibiting full blown addict behavior . he is in his mike tyson self destruction stage of his career. he is probably surrounded by people who are kissing his ass and riding his coat tails. his real friends probably piped up long ago and got left behind. i hope he gets his shit together before he ends up dead or in jail. it is no secret on this forum that i am no fan of conor but i dont want to see the guy get killed or something. he has a bunch of kids .its time to quit fucking around . he is playing games with dudes who aint playin

seems desperate
I think he knows he is fucked and facing some shit...possibly the rape thing is getting near a conclusion or something

Or really deep in drugs as you suggest

Definitely not listening to any real advice or voice of reason the last 6 months or so

I don't think it's the rape thing. Doesn't make sense to go after someone like this if you think you are about to be put in jail.

Could be drugs, but I just think it's a case of him attempting to one-up his former self. He wants a rematch badly, and he thinks he is unlikely to get it unless Khabib insists on it. He's trying to make Khabib mad enough to insist. That's just how I see it. Either way, abort mission asap.

I think there’s something we need to acknowledge here.

First off I think this whole situation is horrible. This extreme trash talking is not entertaining to me and it’s gotten way too personal. This is not in the spirit of Mixed Martial Arts. I can understand how people might consider Conor’s remarks to be racist, although I don’t believe that’s the intent. Nevertheless, we are wading in that territory and it’s ugly.

However, we cannot just willfully accept that Conor needs to be careful here just because he’s insulting a Muslim. While that may literally be true in our current religious/political climate, it is completely absurd and uncivilized. No one should ever be allowed to attack anyone because of religion (yes, I understand this has been happening since the beginning of time, but all of the evidence shows that this should be strongly discouraged).

For Khabib to suggest (and most of us agree with him) that Conor is not safe from the Muslim community if he insults their religion — I mean what an indictment on Islam that is!

“Muslim people really take their religion seriously.” That’s fine but you just can’t physically assault or murder people because of it. I don’t care if he called your wife a towel. We are talking about 2 completely different things here.

I’m sensing we might start to see a lot of news articles talking about Conor saying culturally insensitive/racist things. And some will be hard to defend. But go ask Khabib what he thinks about gay people — I bet it would be way worse than making fun of someone’s wedding attire.

“You better not make fun of Islam because they may kill you.” That is fucked up. It’s probably true, but it should not be accepted or put on the same level as Conor’s trash talk.

honestly i think it is a combination of all factors at play . the guy is doped up and under a shit load of stress with charges pending.he has a family at home and hoes are publicly claiming he got them pregnant.he has all the money in the world and all the problems that come with it. he has also created a larger then life persona that he has to keep up. he has to try a little harder now that he is no longer seen as invincible . floyd , nate and khabib made him look stupid after he talked all that shit and then got beat up. he is in a weird position now. he is the hands down number 1 draw in mma but khabib just mopped the floor with him. he could get a big rematch out of it though. floyd... i dont think anyone in mma or boxing wants to see a boxing rematch and floyd will never fight mma. nate trilogy? georges retired . theres not a lot of intersting fights for him any more . tony ferguson is having his own problems . the rest of the division is guys like al iaquinta and cerrone. not big fights. good scraps but not red panty huge. conor needs to take his money and go chill with his family and stop acting foolish. he has done it all and got it all. nothing left to prove

I completely agree. I think the Nate trilogy is the right move. He said it himself before all of this craziness started- get in, get rich, get out. Only one more of those to do, and the only tragedy will be if he does it too late. I think it's time.

I get your point, and I think that anyone who says that the problem is only on one side of this is misunderstanding what is happening.

However, we have only seen this Khabib when interacting with, and reacting to Conor. This isn't a side of Khabib we have ever seen before. We do, however, have reason to believe that this is Conor's new level. He has been a toned-down, tongue in cheek version of this since he came into the promotion. While what Khabib is saying is problematic, certainly, I think Conor is bringing the darkness out of him. He's become a liability at this point. I think if Khabib vs Tony is made, nothing close to this will happen. If Conor vs anyone else is made, we will likely see a different version of exactly this.
