Didn't know the two guys who attacked Conor/or Conor attacked them, I can't tell what really happened there despite all the headlines, were UFC guys.

In fairness the one guy hasn't fought in two & a half years, Zubaira Tukhugov (18-4, 3-1 in the UFC). The other guy is a decent prospect so that sucks for him if Dana is going to release him, Islam Makhachev (16-1, 5-1 in the UFC with a 4 fight win streak going on). Lotsa options doe for Islam so I'm sure Bellator or KSW or someone will pick him up & probably pay him more than the UFC now that he's the guy who punched Conor in this post-fight melee.

Here's a clearer video of it. Khabib goes after one of Conor’s team mates who has been trash talking him throughout the fight and during build up. May lose his title , purse, license. Conor is shown to make first swing and connect with one of Khabibs team mates. He walks away with his purse.

No he didn't. Any punch thrown was after Khabib already launched out of the ring after someone. That what sparked the melee.. Too much is being made of it imo rather than the real story that Khabib kicked Conor's ass. Quit being babies - Conor did provoke it during the lead up to the fight, and give that man his purse.

Watch at the video I posted above. Conor threw the first punch at one of Khabib's teammates to provoke the brawl inside the octagon.

Khabib attacked first by jumping at Conor's teammates to provoke the brawl. Conor went after Khabib's guys who were going after his own teammates. Pretty simple.

Khabib fans can't seem to put 2 and 2 together on this. Everything Conor did there was self-defense.

Is Conor a mind reader now? Maybe he was going to break it up?

How do you know that they were not going after Khabib to try and hold him back? Khabib went out of the cage, but Conor provoked the second brawl on himself.
