Why are people ripping on Khabib?

[Kaiowas]

No, that's your misunderstanding: I think he went there for a reason but I don't claim to know what it is.

I thought we had addressed this before but let's try again. For one thing, it's dubiously accurate to say he doesn't live in the U.S.: he's affiliated with a California gym. But I don't think it makes much difference: he flew out of the U.S. His nationality in no way requires him to venture where no one else does or to leave sooner than the other fighters in the U.S. The same flights are available to him as to people of other nationalities departing from the U.S.; the flight time will be the same. If anything, if he were in Russia that would be a reason to leave after the U.S.-based fighters had departed, since he would be closer than they to the UAE and could therefore get there in less time.

So you don't know what the reason is but you're emotionally vested in not believing him, even though no one from the UFC has disputed what he said. Do you see how that makes you look like a butthurt hater? You're just looking to assume the worst, knowing full well there was no point for him to stay in a country that can't host the fight, and in which he could not train.

The fact that he's not American means there's no reason for him to stay in the US a second longer than necessary once he's told the fight is somewhere else, especially when he can't train. You're either a straight retard or just playing dumb if you can't understand the difference between an American staying in their home country and a foreigner leaving a foreign country they can't train or compete in.

There's nothing emotional about it. His explanation isn't coherent for the reasons I laid out.

You're just looking to assume the worst, knowing full well there was no point for him to stay in a country that can't host the fight, and in which he could not train.

This sounds like the pot calling the kettle black. You assume I have some kind of axe to grind instead of looking at the incoherence I pointed out in your explanation of his itinerary.

The fact that he's not American means there's no reason for him to stay in the US a second longer than necessary once he's told the fight is somewhere else, especially when he can't train.

If what you're saying is accurate, I can think of a reason: a level playing field. How do you think the fight is going to play out if he goes to train while his opponent can't?
Obviously he's not an Emirati either, so there's no reason for him to be in the UAE a second sooner than he needs to be to fulfill his contractual duties.

You're either a straight retard or just playing dumb if you can't understand the difference between an American staying in their home country and a foreigner leaving a foreign country they can't train or compete in.

Okay, gay retard, help this straight retard understand the asymmetry you claim. Can't an American competitor benefit from leaving a country where he can't train (even if it's his own) for one where he can?

 

[fightfan84]

Jesus Christ. So you REALLY think a UFC event that zero fans can attend would actually spread this Chinese flu?

The amount of people that has to be involved in an event doesn't help. The training these guys have to do as well is more exposure. Where I live you literally would be fined training at all. You can't be with another person you don't live with unless you are working and it's deemed an essential job. How fucking dumb are you??? Lol

He flew to uae when it was suppose to happen there, then a travel ban happened and he flew to Russia. How fucking dumb are MMA fans. This site got really embarrassing to be on on af covid-19. Jesus Christ this is bad. The guy isn't scared, hiding, ducking a fight with Tony. You are an absolute fucking retard if that's what you think is actually happening here. The world is in a pandemic. Learn what the fuck that is

 

[Dbreiden83080]

The Word is he's a bit of an Asshole..

 

[felmmando]

He flew to uae when it was suppose to happen there,

How come he supposed that when nobody else did?

then a travel ban happened and he flew to Russia.

Nope; the ban was already in place when he left.

This reads like a self-parody.

 

[Eater of Souls]

Because a lot of MMA fans are pathetic little bitches and being able to call a professional fighter a coward is how they prove their "alpha" status.

 

[fightfan84]

I'm not dumb at all. I'm in SoCal. For the most part, it's business as usual here. There are no lockdowns, you can go outside. You can go to In N out. You can go to the gun range. You can go to target, walmart etc. Cops arent arresting or fining anyone for being outside.

You do realize you can't catch the virus out of thin air right? You need to come in contact with someone that HAS it. Do you get this initial concept because I can't continue until we're on the same page.

If person A doesn't have it, and they hold pads for person B that doesn't have it, neither one of them will get it. Do you understand now? Didn't think I'd have to put training wheels on for these conversations but some of you really don't grasp simple concepts.

People don't know their infected for up to 14 days. You can carry the virus not know it and touch an object that will hold the virus for days infected tons of people. The fact your city is that fucking stupid is what's wrong with America and why you guys are leading the world in this pandemic. Most the world is shut down. You can't drive in a car where I'm from without showing its with the person you love with. Only one person allowed to go get groceries. How shitty your city is, is not the best repersentation of how contagious this virus is

Yeah man you solved the puzzle. Covid -19 is a lie and khabib used it as an excuse to not fight Tony. Holy fuck you are woke.........

 

[fightfan84]

Nah, we're just not a bunch of scared s here in the USA.

I help run a successful engineering firm. I wouldn't expect most Sherbros to understand you don't just give up and hide inside when you have bills to pay and people to provide for. I have 3 employees I'm responsible for who have families. I'm not shutting down because of a flu because we're healthy grown ass men that can continue to work.

You have no choice to shut down here unless you are essential. Man your a fucking dense piece of shit aren't you.

 

[ivantheterible]

pandemic people , soon you will have martial law then you will understand

 

[felmmando]

You sound like a conspiracy theorist.

 

[fightfan84]

You sound like a conspiracy theorist.

Or, and hear me out here. The world is in the middle of a epidemic over a virus. Is that hard to understand why a fight would be cancelled right now??

 

[fightfan84]

you must be outside of the US. Sucks to be you homie.

Yup it does. It's a changed world for us. Zero fun allowed.

The explanation makes perfect sense, the only reason you're having trouble figuring this out is cause you're either a retard, a hater, or both. I'm going with the last one.

Do you hate Khabib cause he's Muslim or cause you're in love with the leprechaun he whooped? You clearly have a personal issue with him, so let's hear it, don't be shy............

 

[felmmando]

It depends. Is that fight part of a canceled event or not?

I don't hate anyone and I don't love anyone I've never met. If you think it would make sense for the UFC to send this guy alone to the other side of the world, go ahead and believe that's what it did. But it's kind of ironic to hear someone so gullible call me retarded.

The UFC told him it's going to be there so he flew there early since he doesn't live in the US, couldn't train in the US, and the fight isn't happening in the US, but he does live on that side of the planet anyways so it makes perfect sense for him to go there when he did. But, it makes no sense for people who DO live in the US to travel to another country a month early and have to pay for lodging and food when they can stay home until fight time. This really isn't hard to figure out.

You're a retard for thinking he'd go to UAE for no reason only to get turned away. You obviously hate him, just admit it, you'll feel better.

 

[Khaiser]

1. People are idiots.

2. A lot of Americans are still coming to terms with the fact this is a global crisis. It’s been obvious for weeks that this fight was never going to happen. If you believed Dana White that it would, then you’re an idiot beyond reprieve.

 

[fightfan84]

Are you retarded. The world is shut down right now. How the fuck can you even train properly. What's wrong with you people that you can understand the seriousness of the virus and everything is shut down. All major sports around the world . But yes let's blame one fighter for this fight not happening...... Makes sense.
