Ufc 229 POST-FIGHT press conference
Kabhib was literally playing with Connor the entire fight. Nothing to take away from Connor, he is a good fighter but Kabhinb is way up there, just another level.
Another level??? It was not a fight it was wrestling match. Kabhib was scared pu*sy, that’s why people like boxing and not MMA.
Your are clearly not an MMA fan and your comment indicates that you have no idea what MMA is all about, much less what was going on inside that octagon.
it was ugly what was at the end, many nerves and frustration.
otherwise a short fight with a meritorious winner
What a ending!
So fun to watch that loud mouth leprechan get destroyed.
Yes!! Finally! Thank you Dan, I’m going to watch this over and over!
I knew from the beginning that this Muslim c*nt and his f*cking friends are Terrorists
He choked out your drunk Irish boyfriend.
Go admire your pork loving boyfriend who has a leg fetish
It was pleasure to watch the scum bag humiliated.
