“McGregor called Khabib racial slurs. Called his manger a terrorist. Shoved a drink in his face when he knew Khabib doesnâ€t drink. THREW A METAL DOLLEY INTO A BUS INJURING FIGHTERS. But sure, all of this is Khabibâ€s fault,â€� @ZaneTheSane wrote.
Â
“I will say this: If Conor had done what Khabib did, the Twittersphere would be out of control praising him for being a "real gangster." It happened after Brooklyn for sure. It's not going that way for Khabib and I do kind of wonder why,� @AdamHillLVRJ wrote.
