One thing is people speaking their mind before an event and that generating drama

If you're brand new to MMA or combat sports in general, then I might understand

the other is having a championship that has that by design

not chance or personal issues

Is English your first language? That might help me figure out how to interpret things

What happened with Khabib was bound to happen due to the way "the sport" is driven.

So having to reschedule their fight due to Conor spacking out and throwing a dolly at a bus was actually 'by design'?

`What happened with Khabib was bound to happen due to the way "the sport" is driven.`

lol, no it fucking wasn't

Even Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz didn't act like spastics post-fight

Dana White has been banking on Connor disrespect and drama generated from it

What Conor does is nothing new

at all

And now he's gonna act all surprised, "oh how did this happend"

And is absolutely nothing compared to boxing

`What Conor does is nothing new` Exactly

Exactly what?

Noone else has spazzed out post-fight like this

No one else acts like Connor over and over.

pfffffffffhahaha

If that's justifiable because he brings money in

absolute bullshit mate

Then this is the new standard set up by the new champion

clearly new to all this, aren't you

After the fight you can turn into a bar fight

yeah nah

Because champion

A good fighter should be able to just go in for the actual fight and not be contractually be forced to participate in such shit talk shows if it's not what is there for.

There *is* nothing in the contract that says you have to talk a certain way, bud

Every fighter is different

Most are hugely confident in themselves and many will talk shit as part of the pre-fight spararing to A) get into their opponents head and B) because yes, it generates interest in the fight

I guess you just like the drama, must be an English first language thing 😄

That doesn't suddenly mean it's okay to leap the cage and attack someone in the crowd post fight (after you WIN, no less)

Oddly enough I haven't said anything about whether or not I 'like the drama'

I've been following combat sports for well over ten years

Some fighters are brash, some are quiet

All part of what makes it such a fascinating sport to watch

Massive variation in the characters that populate it

BJ Penn came from a wealthy family and didn't even need to fight to begin with, but did so because of the challenge it presented

Dana White, the UFC, the House, banks on shit talk and drama to sell tickets

And I laugh at their moral surprise at something like this happening
