Dana will probably encourage them to do so cause he needs to bleed him a little bit.
(Good) Lawyers will get paid, the misdemeanors won't amount to nothing but anger management and community services...the felony will likely get broken down and no jail time.
If the felony bars him from the US, then he'll fight Khabib in Russia....then someone else in Ireland....and maybe Canada.
In other words nothing. UFC gets paid. Conor gets paid. Dana will backtrack.
It seems bad now, but the harshest reality may be lawsuits.
Conor, if still interested in actually fighting should pray that Khabib wins. Because if Max wins, there's no point in making Max fight outside the US unless he agrees to it....at 145 or 155.
That's the weird situation : he is the UFC's biggest cash cow, but wasn't currently bringing anything to them. It's all in their interest to have him lost as much money as possible so he gets back in the cage. People saying that the UFC will do anything to protect him are out of their mind, any heavy fine, arrangement or jail time under a year is actually a blessing for Dana.
