[Spoiler] UFC 229: Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor

You're getting downvoted hard here but Khabib is one of the thinnest skinned fighters in the UFC. This whole thing started because he didn't like what Artem said, he was the one who escalated it into something physical when he mobbed Artem and slapped him. Then he decides to just drop kick Danis, none of this is acceptable as a Professional fighter and a champion.

Then his buddies got involved and basically threw away their UFC careers when they decided to back him up.

All of this was avoidable.

At the press conference he tries to justify it by saying that Conor insulted his religion, his family and his country. Guess what? That's what trash talk is! He had just dominated Conor and he should have handled himself better, it was such a good fight.

It's NOT ok to just go around smacking and drop kicking people who say things you don't want to hear.

Conor has said worse things to Aldo, Jon Jones has said worse things to DC. Colby said worse things to a whole damn country. This is the fucking fight game, if he can't handle himself like a professional, he should pay the consequences.
