This guy managed some of the best fighters UFC ever had. He deserves some praise.

[@michaelspoto8720]

do u remember making this comment?

[@stuntm7n]

he also assisted in a terrorist plot killing thousands of innocent people in New York City on September 11th, 2001, vile islamic terrorists brutally killing thousands of our own people, good people, by colliding two of the largest model American commercial aircrafts ever made into two of the largest and most populated buildings ever, in the most densily populated city in the US... and he lives among us, above most of us, a man who deliberately supported the most terrible massacre in American history. I dont think you realize how horrible it actually is, nobody remembers 9/11 anymore, its like they want us to forget how terrible it actually was.

[@sumgi1537]

what did he do exactly or was his role in 9.11@@stuntm7n

[@P.W.Friedrich-tt7kc]

@@stuntm7nis there actually any evidence for this? I understand he’s been accused of having connections with Islamic radical groups but what more is there than that

[@stuntm7n]

Of course it is, the FBI did an official release of his identity as soon as they stopped working with him. He had a small role in it, and the massacre would've happened regardless of his involvement, but the fact that he supported that kind of terrorist plot just as a means to boost his own welfare shows what kind of a man he is. As soon as he was caught and arrested, the FBI employed him as an informant for the Muslims of America informant group, making hundreds of thousands of dollars just by informant work for the FBI which basically established his entire sports management career. Because of the absolute rat, snake he is, the FBI actually cut him off and deported him because he began ratting once again, leaking federal information to the people who he was originally connected with. The man uses the same kind of snakey moral navigation in everything that he does, including what he is doing now, and should be condemned by the MMA community. absolute dog whipe of a man, and an even worse muslim.@@P.W.Friedrich-tt7kc

This just validates to me the fact that what happened between Artem and Khabib's team, and in a broader sense what is going on between SBG and these dagestani's is no joke, Conor shouldn't have thrown the dolly and injured innocent people intention aside, but I love the fact he rolled in with his own crew on a jet to have his boy's back who was severely outnumbered and according to Ali potentially in real danger.. I mean he was even moved hotels after all this was more than just a fight week run in like Dana tried to make out. I gotta see this fight.
