WAR ROOM LOUNGE V19: Gamblers Anonymous

[all caps]

Ferguson's recovery was impressive.
I was surprised Pettis' corner threw in the towel though, despite the broken hand.

I'm glad they did. It was obvious pettis was mentally checked out when they were asking him questions. That was solid cornering imo. Take it out of your fighters hands.

 

[Limbo Pete]

I wonder if the people calling Khabib a scumbag for scuffling with Dannis also called Werdum a scumbag for kicking Edmond

I didn't have a problem with them doing it, but it's not exactly what roufusport are known for.
A response to previous criticism perhaps?

 

[JDragon]

UFC is really going to have to step up their security game. They can't keep allowing their fighters to act like this, the need to start issuing heavy fines when fighters act out. It really is a bad look for the sport.

I don't think anyone could have stopped Khabib.

One-dimensional lay-n-pray?

No impressive against everyone except the champ

War Tony.

The problem with that idea is... those Russians ain't trolling. They are really that crazy.

yeah Conor fucked with the wrong bull this time

Wife was out fishing and just walked in with a freshly caught mahi mahi all filleted and in a ziplock. 3.5lbs worth. Anybody got any favorite recipes for this type of fish?

I thought you were sposed to Free the mahi mahi !

 

[MiniCraque]

I agree with this. Dana being a hypocrite isn't new.

But, Conor being a jackass in the past absolutely doesn't excuse Khabib's actions in any capacity.

I don't think anyone made that point though. Khabib should definitely be punished, most people agree to that. Everyone just pointed out that Dana is a dumbass for enabling an environment that fosters this kind of incident and that Connor and his goonsquad got what they asked for. When you vandalize (to put it lightly) a bus with people in it and go as low as calling someone else a terrorist while also belittling his culture/religion, eventually someone is going to flip out.

That's not even mentioning the wife stuff though. As a fellow married man (at least I think so, aren't you?) I'm sure you can understand Khabib's reaction to some degree. 99.9% of people have their triggers (some obviously have more than others) and I imagine hearing something about having his wife raped (specially when she didn't even take part in the conversation, the woman is somewhere in Russia taking care of their son) is a fairly common one.

It's like when Richard Spencer got clocked by that dude. Fuck Richard Spencer, but I'm not going to defend a guy that sucker punches someone in the street (insert "that was the wrong thing to do, he shouldn't have done that" here). Arrest him and charge him with assault for all I care. Still, fuck Richard Spencer.

Fitch was only ever impressive against Alves.

Everyone seemed to be focusing on Conor, and talking about that instead of Khabib's actions. It's the classic whatabout defense. You see it here endlessly from Trump supporters.

"But what about Hillary!?!"

It's just as silly here. I also don't buy the idea about religion, etc. being off limits. I prefer GSP style fight promotion, but this is part of the game in prizefighting. Khabib should've never jumped into the crowd. He should've called Danis out in the cage, or gone to his gym and challenged him old school style. You have to keep this shit out of the area of the professional sport.

Conor was wrong before, but Khabib and his crew were wrong now. I have no patience for "men" who can't control their emotions. Khabib isn't some kid on the playground defending his dad. He's a 30 year old professional athlete.

Unless you have Elon's prototype for a Hyperloop, and can send me some Mahi Mahi after it's been cooked, I don't want to hear about it!!!

 

[Ruprecht]

I certainly think Khabib should be penalised, but the bar for those penalties has already been set very low with the likes of Conor and the Diaz brothers.

 

[Islam Imamate]

God damn, only this fool would make a Conor fight fucking boring.

Crazy his country murders the gays when all he did was hump legs for five minutes.

I'm going to fucking cry. Some terrorist loving cunt is about to beat my terrorist loving cunt

I'd rather Conor lose a fucking paternity test to Stormy Daniels than lose this fight.

Surprised to see Conor survive tbh.

I'm going to fucking puke.

Wrestlers like this always come across like guard pullers in BJJ. Good sport but always came across cowardly.

Khabib looking pathetic as fuck as he held on like a snuggie.

Never watching a Khabib fight again. Fuck that table curtain ass wiving dude, fuck his shithole country, and fuck his terrorist friends.

Max going to send to send this Middle East Forrest Gump back to the Motherland.

They're about to make a lifetime movie of me, where I combine salt and cocaine to expose a terrorist ring based on Khabib and his friends.

Conor to be played by me of course.

<Lmaoo>has that plastic paddy @AgonyandIrony shown his face back around after khabib inshallahed conor?

 

[HomerThompson]

I do believe his ginger pride was wounded.

@AgonyandIrony

Gingers can't have pride, you need a soul for that. They only have a false pride that evaporates when you look closely. We saw this in the fight itself.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Has there ever been a fighter with Pettis' mix of talent, confidence, and shittiness? He's not washed up--he just doesn't have a clue about how to use his considerable skills to actually win fights (and rivals Gus as having the worst footwork of any big-name fighter).

Chimichurri sauce, blackened, teriyaki, or ginger glaze are all good options. Kinda busy to hit you up with detailed recipes, but Maui is good almost any way you’d cook fish. Could do like white wine and capers like a piccata style too.
