There was something like 20-30 different fights across the arena. Total black eye on the sport
Dana understands that 90% of what comes out of Conor's mouth is bullshit. Khabib clearly didn't understand this. The cultural differences really showed here and Dana had no idea what kind of powder keg was being built up between the two. He knew there was potentially going to be issues because he said after it all that they had more police and security than they ever have in the past. I think he just didn't realize how personal Khabib was taking this.

In the end, it is all great fuel for the rematch.

BTW Mctapper is now my new favorite name for Conor
