It's actually wild how much shit Conor just openly exposed. I completely forgot he just blatantly called out Khabib for taking money from a warlord then acting all humble and shit lmao

[@racoonfrenzy3617]

Conor was accusing khabib of taking money from a Russian oligarch (not a war lord) called Ziyavudin Magomedov, who ended up getting put in jail by Putin. Putin frequently pulls this type of thing to purge the possibility of anyone gaining oppositional power. Macgregor was asking khabib why he’s staying quiet about this and not saying anything to Putin about this, when khabib is supposed to be so much about principles and morals and not money. It’s purported that khabib did take 20 million $ worth of land gifted by Putin after he won the belt. So in that case, yeah he took money from a homicidal dictator, but I’m not sure that that was what mcgregor was talking about. Later though, mcgregor also doesn’t turn down a visit with putin. So all these fuks are hypocrites. Tomato tomahto i guess🤷🏻‍♂️.

It is no coincidence that Dagestan is producing so many wrestlers. A fool might say it is in their blood and tradition. Reality is a bit different. Former USSR had training programs and funds for those occupied countries. They wanted to show a good face in the Olympics during the cold war times. USSR was using those regions as champions breeding farms. Anyone who thinks those people never been on PEDs is simply naive. A lot of them have been microdosing steroids since early youth. You keep them busy with sports and competition and they remain obedient. Bread and circuses, the Romans knew well. You pay some coaches adjacent to the regime to train these kids, telling them they are fighting for their god, country, tradition or whatever the fk. In reality they are puppets in the hands of puppets. That is what Conor was trying to say but he too much of a cokehead to even articulate it right. I'm not even a Conor fan, but it doesn't take too much research to see what really happened over there.

Well he's taking Robert next, we'll see then, I think Paulo beats sean, and if chimaev beats Robert, he may have a claim to title after adsenya

[@krisf4969]

That was his 10th professional fight or something like that, right? Going toe to toe with Burns in your tenth fight is very impressive.

[@ibrahimkhan5948]

Chimaev is not a striker he is a grappler and he said when he fought gilbert that gilbert threw up many submissions when when chimaev took him down and you dumb retards forget that gilbert is multiple time jiu jitsu world champion who can throw up submissions from nowhere if chimaev wanted he could have acted as a wet blanket and won a decision but he wanted to get a ko and even if he is nothing special is having beaten gilbert and usman not difficult they are bpth wprld clas s athletes who are top 5 in the world are you saying that b3ating the top 5 in world at a weightclass is not special?????

[@MrMagoor]

Khamzat had serious health problems that limited his cardio for years to come. The only way to maintain the hype and to be constantly active was to limit the number of fights. I dont blame him .

What would you do in his situation? oh that's right, you've never been in it. Kadyrov is a dangerous man and a fighter he coveted in the past was found dead under mysterious circumstances. Khazmat is trying to survive and do what's best for him just like 99.99% of humans would do.

[@nikolaidrago7938]

@@WastingYourTime-lq3md That's what always gets said about high ranking people in dictatorships. Of course they want to survive but if you let dictators such as Kadyrov submit you into obeying him and support him out of fear you're just making the world a worse place for everyone else. Khamzat could've also not taken the help of Kadyrov and stuck to his principles of wanting peace around the world. Instead he contributes to help a ruthless tyrant gain sympothy and recognition around the world by making him out to be a nice guy. Instead of doing what's right he's doing what suits him the best with no regard for the consequences of his decisions on a bigger scale.

Guys listen. Chimaev is native chechen. Ramzan is the head of Chechen state in Russia. Kadyrov has all the money in the world he basically sits on the big ass pile of money. 3 Benzes for him is like a pocket change. Ofc he would buy Chimaev's loyalty bc he has his own organisation called "Akhmat"(they do fight tournaments, military batallions, spec ops etc etc). And ofc he wants all big chechen fighters to work for him in his organisation after the retirement. And ofc USA gov won't be good to Chimaev since they hate Russia foaming at the mouth and Kadyrov is very very close to Vladimir Putin and has all sanctions on him. Hopefully you guys understand it better now.
