What The McGregor Khabib Chaos Shows Us, NY Limo Charges Fall On Son, Missing Journalist & More JustinHD: i keep hearing people talk about a rematch between khabib and conor and i totally understand it from the promoter and fighter's side, but from a fan's perspective, a long time fan's perspective, he had no business being in that cage with khabib in the first place. you can't take anything away from conor for what he did in the featherweight div, granted they set him up with fights that favored him, but he ran through those guys and won the belt. thats where conor being impressive stops though. he refused multiple fights to defend that 145 lb belt, and fought nate diaz at 170 lbs (neither man's weight class) and lost in dominant fashion. then he gets gifted a rematch and arguably lost that fight too. he then went on to refuse to rematch nate, and fought eddie alvarez at 155lbs (lightweight) and won the lightweight belt, and again, refused to defend it. after all that he went into a boxing match he had no business in and got completely outclassed like anyone who follows either sport knew he would. he was stripped of the 145lb belt for inactivity and then stripped of the 155 belt for inactivity. he fell down the rankings and when he decides he's ready to come back suddenly he's the #1 contender at 155 again? tony ferguson, the real #1 contender was ready to fight that night as well, he did fight that night. he won that night in what in my opinion was fight of the night. now after being dominated in his return fight, never defending a belt, and carrying out what could easily be considered a terrorist attack on a bus full of people he deserves a rematch at a belt he never deserved in the first place? like i said i totally get it from the side of the people making money off of this nonsense, but as a fan i'm getting burnt out on this division being held up by a guy who has no business being in there with these killers. theres a reason i stopped paying for ufc events after ufc 100.

The UFC had a knee jerk reaction. They saw unsanctioned fighting taking place inside the building, around the audience and around the ring. They were shocked and wanted to doll out punishment to try and discourage this future behavior. What they didn't stop and think about was how they let McGreggor off with his bus incident. It was a shocking event too, and just as bad when you really think about it, but it took place outside and not in front of the main paying audience. This is probably why they considered it a lesser event. In the end, after they have some time to think about it, I feel like they will resend their banning of Khabib's brother and give him his money. They still have to do something, so I feel like there will be heavy fines and hopefully they will rethink their contracts and rules so that in the future, it's not judgement calls and the fighters know before they do something what will happen. This kind of shit really does need to stop, but they can't just be judging it on a case by case basis or it will end up pissing everyone off. There needs to be hard line rules and punishments for these incidents set forth before they happen.

With the recent changes that merged Saudi's intelligence agency and counter-terrorism powers into a newly created state security agency that is under the control of and reports directly too the royal court it's ridiculous to believe this could have been done without Salman's knowledge. But this issue with Saudi's violating human rights is nothing new. They get praised for lifting a ban on women driving while transforming their internal intelligence agency thus allowing the Saudi royals an easier time to arrest, interrogate and convict anyone who disagrees with them. And what does the US do? We continue to supply weapons that are used not only against civilians targets in direct violation of international law but also former allies. Costing the lives of 1000's including women and children. And there are still people here in the US that wonder why much of the rest of the world is sick of our brand of justice. It's amazing that we are still selling them weapons when 15 of the 19 terrorists on 9-11 were Saudi. Our government is morally bankrupt.

I from Washington, and while I believe there are crimes so egregious they deserve the death penalty, its unfairly/disproportionately imposed against POC. Thats the thing thats been discussed in Washington State with this issue. Im on the fence with the death penalty in general, there are crimes that are so horrific the perpetrator needs an extreme punishment, but I also feel in some way that we are using a barbaric and outdated mode of punishment that is given out in an unbalanced way. People get executed for just being a part of a horrific crime where one person is killed, when they themselves didnt actually strike the death blow, while others who are guilty of killing multiple people are given life, or sometimes much less. It doesnt follow any logic or reason other than the personal feeling of those in that particular jury box or the judge imposing the sentence.

Legal killing should never be a thing. Even i think some people deserve to die but i don't think it should be legal to kill them. Send them to a prison where someone will kill them for you for all i care. Just don't make it fking legal. It lowers the value of a human life. Aka it PUTS a certain value on a human life and can go out of control. What's the stop a law from being introduced someday where if you get to much in dept your life is forfeit for that dept has surpassed the value of your life and as such you're executed. NOTHING The best way we can keep shit like that at bay is to not allow legal murder of any kind at ALL. We never know the future or how it will turn out. We don't know how tolerable the people of the future will be. We can only help guide them down the right path and one of those right paths is to NOT ALLOW LEGAL MURDER

Saudi Arabia is the one to blame here, the journalist was critical of Saudi Arabia (and the Saudis don't like being criticized. Saudi Arabia has been a United States trade partner with US weapons (they influence many things here in the United States and thats not good. Saudi Arabia has been committing GENOCIDE IN YEMEN with OUR WEAPONS. CNN has already covered this (finally they do something good. We need to stop trading weapons with Saudi Arabia, also the human rights groups have been targeted and KILLED in Saudi Arabia. Canada has called this out. Who the hell are we to lecture other countries about human rights when we stand by and let Saudi Arabia commit crimes against humanity? We need to put sanctions on Saudi Arabia, period. WAKE UP AMERICA, DO SOME RESEARCH

Im sick and tired of all these better help comments. Go spread your negativity and lies somewhere else the comment sections on these videos used to be a great place for conversation where I could read others opinions about the news and respond if I wanted. Now all I see are a bunch a trolls with nothing better to do. Phil explained what has been going on, and there is more to come with a third party journalist. If that doesnt make you happy, then LEAVE. And if your a patron, then STOP. Dont just complain about it. All this negativity is exhausting and unnecessary. And you can leave it out of my replies because Im not responding to a single negative response.

The Washington death penalty is puzzling. They aren't arguing the immorality of the death penalty, but that there is an unequal representation in those being charged. So if just as many white people were being put to death, it would be okay? And I get it, class and racial bias heavily dictates a judges opinion of them, so of course those people are more likely to get the death penalty. People judge others from the surface level far to prevalently, but what's new? I can respect a state drawing the line in the sand saying we don't want to do that. But why the pc explanation when you're literally talking about KILLING PEOPLE?

I don't believe that the death penalty should be used as a punishment. For example giving a death sentence to a murderer is, imo, revenge and not punishment. An eye for an eye and the World goes blind. That being said I do believe there is a place for the death penalty in society. For cases where the criminal's behavior is so abhorrent and without any means of reform, it is in the best interest of public safety that these criminals receive a death sentence. Examples of this would be psychopathic killers such as Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Jeffry Dahmer.

It doesn't matter what crap McGregor talked, throwing a sucker punch after the match ended is too far. Its the law, you don't get to assault someone just because they said mean things to you. They should both be punished, as far as I'm concerned. Think about the UFC as well- the whole reason organized fighting is even possible is because the audience and the fighters trust that the fighting stops when the bell rings. That trust is what separates violence from sport, so of course they need to come down hard on any breach of that trust.
