When do they expect them to be handed out?

 

no idea. I just saw this link on reddit...

Conor and Khabib avoid disciplinary hearings with settlements

I don't think they've been made public yet but I don't know because the article is behind a paywall for me. Apparently some mobile users can get past it though.

 

Can they count the months already passed since the fight as time served?

 

I'm sure they will so that the UFC and NSAC can earn money from their monkeys asap

 

I’m down for it. Give me Cerrone v Conor like tomorrow lol

 

I think I’d like to see Bader v Stipe tbh

 

New Below The Belt featuring Al Iaquinta and a recap on the Bellator card

 

I don't think the punishments are going to be anything past 6 months for either of them. They agreed to it. Then again, I'm usually wrong about everything so...

 

Abubakar gets only a small fine and suspension? Bullshit. That dude isn't even a relevant fighter. He should never be allowed to attend a fight again, ESPECIALLY as a corner man. Same goes with the other guy.

 

Ariel thinks Khabib will likely not fight until his team is back as well. So, we'll likely see the title stripped.

 

Interesting note here

 

Hey but what about free speech- every dumb guy on earth

 

Khabib just tweeted "politics forever." As if the board is conspiring against him. Sorry guy, you fucked up bad.

Love how he just keeps re-posting him beating Conor via submission and calling it shameful. Dude, nobody thought Conor was gonna dominate you. In fact, he was the underdog going in. There is no shame in losing in this sport. There is a lot of shame to be carried in your post-fight actions. Why doesn't he get that?

 

Pretty ironic that khabib is the one who got recommended the anti-bullying stuff considering all the problematic shit Conor was saying.

 

Agreed on that. It seems the board fully acknowledges the damaging effect some trash talk causes and it stops here in the business. They're too large and diverse of a company to allow it. Conor hopefully realizes he went too far this time as well.

 

What was Conors discipline officially for the bus incident? Just a fine right? No suspension?

 

I know he plead guilty for disorderly conduct in July but he wasn't punished by an Athletic commission or the UFC from what I can remember.

 

He was originally charged with a slew of things including assault. I believe it was $50,000 and anger management courses/community service from the judge when he plead guilty. The UFC considered his actions outside of the business itself, since it was after the press conference and in the loading dock of the venue.

Khabib started it with Lobov, but when Conor did this it gave Khabib the chance to be the better man entirely and go in the octagon to beat him. All he needed to do was simply raise his hands in victory. Conor would look much worse, and no one would have anything to say to Khabib.

 

I mean, I wouldn't have anything to say to Khabib other than "That wasn't cool, here's your fine."

 

Is the Jones hearing today?

 

They're going through the Jones stuff now.

 

This is a good start if it happens
