By credibility, I mean credibility outside of fans.
I get asked often 'why don't you like it?' and can easily point the finger at this shit as a reason.I totally get that it is a calculated audience and what turns some off turns others on.

Oh come on 80 year old Ethel from Takapuna, you waded in and referenced the entire sport as "thugs and scum" and now you speak for a billion non fans who all agree there is a credibility problem with the sport!?

(you don't like the sport and tried to validate your opinion with a "credibility" red herring )Absolutely. I just think it's a thugs game and incidents like this back up my thoughts.
Anyone that tries to argue any credibility as a sport will get this thrown back at them and not just by me.If not excusing a 'sport' that revels in this bullshit makes me a 70 year old woman then fine.

Player and crowd brawls after the contest indicates a sport with no credibility?
Club rugby's fucked then...

Lewis gets a KO with 11secs left in the fight. Was getting his arse kicked up until until then
Great post fight interview as usual

@majorrage conor got 50 mil for this one, another 10 to make sure he fronts, if he doesn't then the whole rematch pay day flies. Anyway, that was my fantasy manager projection

50??? It's been published as 3.
There ain't anywhere near the money in UFC that there is in boxing.

KN did his press conference and apologised. He explained why he lost it - the goading from MacGregor about his family, religion, country - he said it was too much.
But he did admit he was in the wrong to do what he did. Maybe a bit manufactured in try and appease the issues he's going to face, but it did come across as sincere.

The 3 doesn’t include the ppv cut and other payments
50 was thrown around if there were huge ppv numbers (3.5mill, more likely 2mill people). So it’ll be way less than a Mayweather fight but around the same ball park as a Joshua payday

He won the fight. That should have been enough for him. Hope he doesn't get paid and faces a long ban.

Silliest comeback from Khabib today about how McGregor "insulted his religion, insulted his country and insulted his father..." And yet he jumped out of the ring to attack someone else when the person who did all the insulting was right there in the ring with him.
I totally get the hate but Khabib looks like a class A clown, along with Conor(that sneaky off camera punch is just as bad as what Khabib did).

Co-main event was incredible. Both fighters causing damage, covered in blood. Ferguson with freakish cardio
Shame we didn’t get a third round. Pettis broke his hand and didn’t come out after round two
-
They used the footage of Conor and his gang attacking his bus as part of the promo ,
You got to wonder how much this incident is going to help them promote the next fight ,
Coincidence ?
not saying it was set up ,because i dont know,
but if they fight again , they will get a bigger audience because of it .

Great night. Wild night.
1 for 3 in EARLY PRELIMS
Great KO from Martin
Great finish from Lenz
Fair play to Kunitskaya. Dominated2 for 4 in PRELIMS
Big upset win for Holtzman
Ladd fought like a lad. Wow.
Turner has some silky skills, but Luque is nails
Deserved win for Formiga. Pettis disappointing.2 for 5 in MAIN CARD
Watterson v Herrig. AwfulVolkov a very skillful tactician and if he'd pressed he would have finished Lewis inside two rounds. Paid the price for dithering.
Derrick Lewis Leg End (see above)
'My balls is hot'
Hats off to Reyes. Masterclass.
Great comeback from Ferguson. Epic fight. Pettis poor bastard.
Whoever Ferguson fghts next it will be a cracker.
Wrote this about the title fight
Conor McGregor
Too quick, too powerful, too smartGot the manner, but not the man.
Fair play to Khabib. His striking improved more than McG's grappling.
Too good, too accurate.Bonkers finish.
Who knows what will happen next?
If there is a rematch it could go the way of the Diaz fights with McG working his opponent out.
But at this stage Ferguson deserves next go.

If you're Stipe you would have to be thinking about looking at your options. Deserved a rematch but gets passed over by Lewis because the latter is comedy value with a ko punch.
Lots of top guys are getting treated like mid carders due to not being wwe characters.

Yep.
Hopefully the circus will leave town in 2019 and we can get back to a consistency of barnstorming fights.
In fairness to Lewis, he deserves a shot. Never ducked a fight.
