So both Khabib and Conor were at the world cup finals game and they avoided eachother

[D 1 Wrestler]

Seems like a golden opportunity to promote their fight in Russia, seems odd they did not find a way to "accidentally" cross paths.

They were too busy appreciating a once in a lifetime spectacle. Football is the biggest sport in the world for a reason

 

[ortizgnp]

Football brought them together.

Beautiful.

civil wars were paused in Africa to watch pele play.

soccer is gigantic, their tiny beef could be held off a day for the worlds largest sporting event

Khabib can't afford to access the area McGregor was in

lol nah, look at this, there is a goal being scored in the background and absolutely nobody cares. This was more about publicity and men of power meeting than football

 

[Shammon]

Do you realize how tacky and classless it would have looked to disrupt the world's largest sporting event for some little UFC beef lmao.

 

[Frank23]

They were smart not getting into any trouble.

That's the replay

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

That's the replay

yea of a goal that literally just happened, and nobody cares

 

[MMA since 1993]

Typical number 1 bs.

who said disrupt? Even a video showing them crossing paths, or a woodley/mcgregor type stare down would have gotten big views

Putin and his Irish fanboy

Confirmed. Fight has just been fixed.

 

[McSpikes]

Why would they promote a fight that isn't happening?

 

[robotsonic]

Hosting the world cup is all about 'soft power', showing yourselves as modern, civilized, respectable country. Having some scumbag from the Dublin slums and a simple minded shepherd boy from the Caucasus rolling around on the floor in front of everyone would not be a good look. Both those guys know their place when the Big Bad Vlad is about.
