Wow. This has to be it for this guy right? To hell with him at this point. He's lost his mind. The worst part was the clip at the end of the article with him and his crew running back to the limo and taking off like a bunch of punks. WTH was he thinking?? Seriously. This is like a major coke binge flip out.
Unless he doubles down, this ain’t the end.
Almost as much as people like tearing down celebrities, deserved or not, they like redemption stories.
This is still a serious f--- up, though.

I'd wish I could place a bet on rehab being the next Conor story we hear.
Also, the UFC can't do business with this guy anymore. He went into a UFC event looking to attack another UFC fighter and actually injured one and knocked him off the fight card. That is a deal breaker. How can you save face with all of your other fighters if you don't get their back here? You have to protect your own employees.

I can 100% see the UFC telling him to go break rocks. He might be big in his head but he is really nothing without the UFC. He might be able to get one more boxing pay day for a fraction of what he just did. He can fight MMA but not going to get anything close to what he wants. Going on his own will cost him millions with no real return as he will not be able to fight anyone with a name.
Wow, had a half dozen co-workers forward the story to me... WTF was he on that made him think that was a good idea?
I kind of wonder if this might not be Dana Whites "Roger Murtaugh" moment.

Rise, fall, redemption.
The cycle of modern celebrity drama.
There is a Cosby exception. Some things you don’t come back from.
This ain’t that bad.
Basically, this isn’t the end. It’s the start of the middle.
Until I watched this, I had no idea how serious it was:

Conor is going to be sued into the stone age. If and when he fights again, he will actually need the money.
On one hand, Conor think's he's invincle and can do whatever he wants. He's about to learn the contrary to that.
On the other hand, Khabib didn't even get out of the bus to handle the sh!t that he started. Yes he kept it professional, plus he still has to make weight and fight on Sat. But don't start sh!t you won't finish.
This has all been a promotional sh!t show. Khabib barely pulled up on Artem to stir up Conor. Then, the latter went haywire because he's emotional and a caricature at this point.
I love me some Nathaniel Diaz.
About Khabib and his crew bitching on Artem alone...
“He shouldn't have been trying to punk his boy when he was alone, like a bully. Then he expects not to get rolled on fukn rookie..
And then stay on the bus
haha u guys got punked ....”

If he gets cut from the UFC he is done. He is a star but not a very bright one. Sports stars are put to D list very fast. He has one major fight with FMJ that is not enough for him to go solo and make millions... Well, maybe a few million but he would burn though that quick as s---... This very well could be his downfall..... He is going to have to kiss some major *** to have the UFC not cut him and then he is going to be fighting for way less then he would have not doing this s---.... And he is going to have to fight now.. All his money is about to be spent on lawyers and payouts.

Being sued and mega awards are not synonymous.
There will be suits, and Conor will likely lose most of them, if not all. However, from what I’ve seen so far, the damages aren’t likely to be massive.

Wanna bet?
Two years, three at the outside and he gets back in.
IF he wants to. This rests entirely on his choices.

Eh, kind of...
It's the end of his UFC career, but I'm sure he will have opportunities in Hollywood or the WWE should he choose to pursue them.
Only way he is ever back in the UFC is if Dana leaves and someone like Vince McMahon steps in to run things.

His legal fees will be in the tens of millions between lawsuits and criminal charges. Barclay's Center will cost him millions alone.

Sure.. It could happen.. but you think he gets cut then goes back to the kid living in his car and hungry for more... Who has done that? He gets cut and he keeps going downhill. Lets be clear.. He is big but he is not Mike Tyson big. Conor could not just go away for years and come back to be a mega star.

"The other hand" is completely irrelevant. Khabib not getting out and escalating things is called the SMART thing to do. The attempt to spin in it into "Well don't start nothing there won't be nothing" narrative is such a fail IMO.
