Anyone watching Ferguson's presser interview ? Fantastic stuff.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Khabib is money though at the moment. Money > Morals in entertainment. I have no idea if Paul Daley wasn't even a hyped up fighter but Khabib if he continues to fight is box office.
Unless they did something illegal within the match itself, how can you disqualify someone from a match that is already over?
Genuinely slick -though egotistical, vain, potty mouthed and out of touch with reality.
Maybe you're right. Khabib should've just thrown stuff at him during a press conference or something. He'd probably get away with that
Khabib will get back in. Daley obviously not.

Yeah - it was fun!
Garbage. He's a clown.
It’s a joke that McGregor has been given his cheque and Khabib not. McGregor threw the first post-fight punch inside the octagon. All cheques should’ve been withheld pending further investigation. White protecting his man again. A joke.
But he's well aware of those differences by the looks of it, different culture, different people, different custom etc.I'm assuming given his username that he doesn't live in one of those. Unless something drastic has happened in Rotherham recently
In McGregor's mind everything is fair game in order to get under your opponent skin and get some egde in the fight because I suppose it's due to somewhat more liberal society he grew up in. Although he by his own admission grew up in one of the toughest and scariest part of Dublin so he should be aware of the repercussions when you talk trash.
On the other hand you have Khabib who hails from the part of the world where they are religious to a fault, where talking shiit about someone's family gets you hurt or even killed in some cases and as one member has said, they even have blood feuds there still, instances where kids are being home schooled out of fear that they might be harmed by the other wronged family etc.
Absolutely. And this is the problem, by already pandering to Conor, the UFC leave themselves open to hypocritical actions.
They won't care about that, it's just annoying as a fan to see someone constantly take the piss and still get whatever he wants
Conor refused to press charges.
He's gone to attack him. Pushing and shouting in someone's face while they try to walk away from you is trying to instigate a reaction, that that reaction could've been physical.
He had absolutely no business jumping into that cage and then becoming physical with a referee. But were there any consequences?
Two guys who jumped in will never fight in UFC again.
Maybe but i doubt he'll get a visa to the US again and he certainly won't be fighting in Vegas any time soon. So not sure how marketable he is right now.
Time will tell, personally i don't think he should be allowed to fight again. If they let Khabib away with attacking someone it could happen again. The stupidest thing about his actions are it could have started a full blown riot in the stadium.
Maybe he wasn't far off with the "backward" remark then?
Its part of the fight game. He's genuinely entertaining to listen to.
Dana acting like a rematch may not happen.
He's like a shit standup comic who's been given five minutes but the crowd is afraid to boo him because he can kick everybody's ass in the audience.
Pretty much confirms the backwards comment no? None of this is an excuse
Good man.

Bald cnut is loving this, he knows controversy sells.
Khabib vs. McGregor 2 :Bad Blood.
Khabib vs. McGregor 2 :Bad Blood.
I know which one I'd rather live in!
It shouldn't happen in either case as Khabib needs to fight Ferguson.
Dana said Conor's trainer was talking shit and that's why Khabib jumped the cage.
Obviously different and in different times but if Mike Tyson could fight in Las Vegas after biting Holyfields ear off then they can let a lot of shit slide. If NBA players a decade ago can attack fans and still play and earn ridiculous money then Khabib still has a chance, a good chance.
Dana will make sure it happens....$$$$$$$ for the next fight.
Khabib is a strict Muslim. he will need to ask for forgiveness from Allah tonight.
We will see what happens, when all the evidence is laid out. UFC will be able to back down on that statement when they realize Conor sucker punched a guy sitting on the fence which set the whole shit show off.

It’s great when idiots replicate behavior from their idols. If you’re going to be a mouthy bastard, expect consequences. He got slept inside two seconds.
Is that a second guy coming in to hit him from behind?
If so. Amazing people in here are trying to defend these actions because the guy who lost is also a cnut. Some of you have fecked up ways of viewing the world. It's as bad as defending Conor for the shit he pulls
fair play to conor not pressing charges.
Damn
The ref himself didn't care (he said he's known Conor for years and don't want to take it anywhere) and I'd imagine Bellator were happy for the press coverage. They even invited him back.
But who's to be the judge and say which customs and believes are superior or better than the other ones?
I believe you missed my point, just because it's OK for Connor in his mind to do all the stuff he's doing and that isn't a big deal in the surroundings he grew up in, he should at least be well aware that not everyone and everywhere is the same.
In this particular case he called Khabib "backward" in the context of not drinking alcohol. Now most of us like to indulge in it occasionally, but there are people that don't.
