Comments Thread For: Arum: UFC 229 Melee Disgraceful, But It's Not Dana White's Fault

Why was it disgraceful? Wasn't as if innocent people got hurt, it was fighters having a fight

2.5 mil saw how disgraceful Khabib and his goons were after the fight. Instead of acting like a professional and having his hand raised and title put on him for everyone to see and applaud, he goes all psycho.

I thought it was great and showed it was a real grudge rather than some fake manufactured one

Dana & Bobfather are now on the same team ESPN.

the cage jump was very ****** but you can't blame him,conor attacked him in a bus in brooklyn,poked at him all through the build up he just let everything out after the fight instead of 'IN' the fight..but if you're anything close to a human you should know sometimes our emotions gets the best of us besides he apologized to the commission,fans,friends and coaches..but he should have been way disciplined as a martial artist enough to keep his emotions in check now the commission is gonna reprimand him

I understand but that was a BS apology. He said he was sorry and then comes out with he insulted my religion, my father my country BS. And now he's crying and threatening Dana if Dana cuts his teammates for jumping in the octagon. He should have just apologized, manned up and say he and his teammates will accept their punishment. The bus incident is irrelevant, that happened behind closed door at some promo event. Conor was arrested and charged, thing was settled. Khabib and his guys were the one's who started all this when they ran up on Conor's teammate when he was alone. The reality both Conor and Khabib are dougebags.

fair enough..martial arts including boxing foundationally has to do with respect for one another..both men needs that slapped into their heads

Also BoB is prob anticipating for what could happen Sat. In Omaha IF Benavidez beats Crawford. "It's NOT the promoters fault" - Arum.

People need to stop the righteous indignation! They are fighters! Thats what they do. Do we want to see that? Not really, but people that are outraged... give me a break. How many bench clearing brawls do we see in other sports? Don't even bother with the argument that it was where the spectators were sitting. I am good with a little pretend disgust, but lets move on. Dana is hypocritical **** munch if bans anyone from the UFC over this.

They are professional fighters. They should only fight within the regulations of their sport. Not go around jumping people like that just because they're fighters.

If anything they should be held to a higher standard due to the danger they present to other people, the fact that theh get compensated for fighting, and the influence they have on the younger audience. This behavior is wrong and should not be defended by anyone.

Well, Bob's a Zionist *** so this is not unexpected.

Khabib's father (and trainer) was very angry about it and will be disciplining him, he's already made a public statement about it.
