Twitter reacts to Khabib vs. Conor and crazy aftermath
Mike Tyson: “Watching the Conor McGregor vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov fight. Unimaginable never thought it would go down like this. Crazier than my fight riot.”
The UFC 229 main event was an extraordinary fight, followed by bedlam. This is not entirely unexpected given that the fight was marketed by replaying footage of a criminal attack that hurt two fighters to the point they couldn’t compete, hurt a UFC employee, disturbed the champ Rose Namajunas to the point she is still rattled, people. The fight was further marketed by replaying verbal attacks on Khabib’s father, faith, and people.

Mcgregor has committed more fouls than an nba player. 1.) hooking the glove. 2.) pulling the shorts 3.) feet in the cage. 4.) knee to the face on the ground and not even a warning what a joke

Conor looks to have worked on his cardio.

It only took 2 years for vets to be proved right. If Conor fights an in shape wrestler, he loses. #ufc229

Khabib Nurmagomedov made an awful decision. Among the dumbest things I've ever seen.

Khabib needs to be fined and suspended. His corner is lucky they can’t DQ him for this.

Say what you want about Connor, he always says he’s humble in his win and humble in defeat. He literally stood there as khabibs team jumped the fence and sucker punched him from how exhausted he was. This shit is crazy

What happened at the end took the shine away from a great performance, but you can’t deny Khabib proved himself above any doubts. Conor was fighting well. Both were monsters, but Khabib was the bigger one.

Watching the @TheNotoriousMMA vs @TeamKhabib fight. Unimaginable never thought it would go down like this. Crazier than my fight riot.
