        You mean after the other guy hops the fence and starts laying into someone in the crowd, right?

        That’s not what he’s saying genius. Regarding Connor in the ring after, Connor threw the 1st punch, in which Khabibs team had a reason to go after him for throwing that punch. Learn to comprehend.

        I can comprehend just fine genius. What I'm saying is Connor doesn't throw the "first punch" if Khabib didn't go flying out of the ring first. If Khabib stays in the ring none of this happens. Learn to see the whole picture.

        Those are two independent situations. Completely different. Connor doesn’t get touched after the fight in the ring if he doesn’t throw the first punch. Learn to comprehend two separate events.

        There not independent. Watch the video. Connor and Khabib's guy meet at the cage because they are both trying to get out of the ring to join in on what Khabib started. Its not completely different its cause and effect. Khabib jumps out connor tries to jump out. Fight starts.

        Yea man, Khabib jumps out, I’m not denying that. But Connor wouldn’t have been popped if he didn’t swing 1st after the fight was over. He could’ve just chilled and he wouldn’t have been hit at all. Doesn’t matter that Khabib jumped, he didn’t have to fight anyone in the ring.

        Just like Khabib's boys jumped in when Connor punched him. Connor jumped up to help when he saw Khabib fly out of the ring at his corner. I'm not saying Connor wasnt wrong but to act like Khabib didnt start this shit is ridiculous.

        Yea but nobody said Khabib didn’t start it, no one denied that. All Shaun was pointing out was that Connor threw the 1st punch, when he could’ve been untouched in the ring.

        This is absurd Shaun. Khabib jumped out of the ring and started assaulting people.

        I’m pretty sure by this point Khabib is throwing punches left right and centre in the crowd. McGregor certainly did not start this. He may have been the first to throw a punch in the Octagon at a man rushing to join the riot, but I see that as him protecting his team.
