- UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov took to Instagram on Thursday to express his disapproval with the dismissal of his teammate Zubaira Tukhugov for brawling with Conor McGregor at UFC 229. While many can sympathize with Nurmagomedov's anger, this continued onslaught of UFC stars being angry at the UFC is as worrying as it is bad for consumers.
The Luke Thomas Show airs weekdays, 3 to 6pm ET, on SiriusXM RUSH, channel 93.

Khabib is loyal to his people something you don't understand
@RIK VARTIGYAN Mc Tapper murmurmur chicken
Respect.
We dont produce men like Khabib anymore.
Leaves millions to stand for what he believe in.
He has money but still more honorable then most
Yeah so honorable to surround a man by himself 10 on 1 and then cry about getting attacked on the bus for 6 fucking months making it seem like nothing is your fault. YEP.
@@CGKf35 Yep we detected another Mctapper fanboy. I though you guys went hiding in the caves.
Nobody knows how much Khabib makes in Russian endorsements. Russia has their own hockey league and stealing players from nhl. They have $ to throw around
Dan Giuseppe that's cause he got some rich gay muslim sugar daddy
That is 100% not an idle threat. Khabib is the real deal.
Lol yea, he ain't bull shittin
He shot himself in the foot once already. This will be twice.
Y'all talk like you know him personally?
@THE WAY I live in the middle of New York.....by the way, Y'all short for "YOU ALL" is definitely a universal conjunction, it's 2018.."bruh"
There are other promotions that will pay him well if he leaves UFC. He could become a head coach at his gym and train future fighters. He has options.
Khabib is trying to change the game here, as a hardcore fan I respect him for that. He wants the fighters to be treated equally. He feels Conor is using his name to do whatever he wants.
These people are satan worshippers illuminati and khabib is pure man of God
Khabib is a jealous twat
@@noahsavage906 first of all get your facts right the society you live in today you would like to have your daughter and she's 12 to get f***** in school but at least in Islam when a girl reaches puberty she can get married and not commit adultery and in the Bible it also States the same thing so calling someone a peadophile is like the stupidest thing you can say but what I would like to tell you is whatever you believe in god is three god is four he died he came back he was human while you can keep believing all that things but we believe in one God and his messenger and all the messengers that were before him even Jesus we always praise Jesus and we love him too so whatever you're talking about go ahead and keep hating because you're just here to hate and I don't want to listen to haters if you really want to study you can study by reading the Bible and the Quran and see which is right and which is wrong if you want we can debate but remember Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world and it will continue to be that way so just hate man and we'll still have people coming in I can name pastors monks Christian scholars that became Muslim but can you name one Muslim scholar that became a Christian listen I suggest you keep your thoughts to yourself and God will judge between us on the day of judgement you also live in a society were homosexuals and lesbians and sleeping with animals and everything is allowed and are given rights too but in Islam all those things are prohibited and you're probably be executed so you know and that's how God wants it too if you think he doesn't that's how he really wants it that's why Islam is targeted because they are anti satanism and everything in this world now is promoted by Satan and Islam will rule against that and we'll rise one day so bro peace have a nice life
@@noahsavage906 lol your vicious. But Khabib is cool man
Nate also been changing the game for years (latest - 165 division). That's why Dana is disrespectful to them (latest - cancelling Nate-Dustin fight as revenge for the 165 movement... Dustin isnt injured!)
This could lead to something like the Ali Act but for MMA fighters. Go Khabib!
I hope khabib gets his way. Fuk dana
What’s that
Khabib is gonna get fired don't khabib think before you think
That's been attempted many times even with a fighter like GSP taking the lead but for ufc fighters it's hopeless
This has nothing to do with Ali. Come on guys.
Good for Khabib. He called them out on their hypocrisy and more.
What was his "friend" doing at top og the Cage?
anybody of you being on top og the Cage? This innocent " friend " trying to enter the ring got a defence from Conor,and now his is victim? Tsktsk!
still he cann not see he and his friends are in the WRONG !! Actions have to be paid for 2 wrongs do not make a right plus lobov did not attack the bus he just watched
More like calling for hypocrisy and special treatment. He can stand with his brother but not man enough to admit he did something wrong and accept the punishment like a man. Treat this tantrum like you would any 5 year old and just ignore him.
Khabib is the biggest hypocrite of the bunch.
If khabib quits. Ufc will lose fans. I'm included. Period!
Same here
Yeah and will gain 100 more
Amen... I only watched for Khabib.
Yeah, I was only interested in Khabib vs Ferguson, without that I don't really care.
Doesn't matter, nuff real fans will love the UFC more and more
B E L L A T O R - Make MMA Great Again
agree! UFC is so drama.I have quit buying the PPV!!
Maximum respect. Khabib is showing us the difference between someone who acts like he is about that life and someone who IS about that life. This is the real meaning of "if one of us goes to war we all go to war". He is telling the UFC to stick his first big payout for a friend, not throwing dollies in front of cameras like Conor knowing that he would just make big money off it (as he did). What a stark difference between the two men across the board. Maximum respect to Khabib.
Alec B and zuba is just a team mate he isnt relatd to him or grew up with him , zuba is the chechen that conor tried to play divide n rule with lol
Maximus spartacus respek
it's not actually the real meaning if one of us goes to war we all go to war was the bus incident
SO TRUE.
Yo I'm glad that we're getting these quick daily videos again!!! You are killing the game, keep up the hard work sir!
Aladdin A boss he’s a lot less biased than Chael Sonnen which is what I like about him.
Aladdin A boss I was thinking the same thing
Ariel gets all the credit. When he's essentially just looking for controversy. Luke Thomas is the true voice of mma.
@@jaxoncrow6918 You know what? I could not deny the last part of your comment. Just gave him a sub despite the fact that his videos always show up in my recommended. Great work rate, infectious passion for the game and logical insight... what more can you ask for?
Ariel does a better job interviewing fighters in my opinion, but Luke has an interesting perspective, he just isnt that good at interviews as Ariel.
Nuclear option, is his option. He leaves, I won't buy any UFC events. He's right.
Khabib is a breath of fresh air in stinking UFC filled with conspiring slimes!
The slime is Khabib.
Khabib fans tends to be shady characters, watching the fights on illegal streams. I don't think UFC will lose anything if that filth goes somewhere else.
nah, he's a big fat ego and a dumb bully
Khabib is a hypocrite. Says you cant talk about family or nations yet he and his team talked shit about Ireland and McGregors grandad. Khabib says what he did was over loyalty to his brother and team mates, at the same time being outraged at Conor for smashing the bus over his loyalty to Artem. Khabib says Conor is the bully but Khabib was the first to start throwing insults in every interview for months before Conor ever even mentioned Khabibs name. Then Khabib and his crew surrounded and slapped Artem, 10 men on 1.
He says Conors team are bad for the sport, yet his team comprises of men that have convictions and upcoming cases for battery, assault, intimidation. Thats not to mention the other shady characters he associates with such as that terrorist manager Ali, the corrupt Chechen dictator Kadyrov who wants all homosexuals dead and the Russian billionaire Magomedov who funded him and is now in prison on embezzlement and fraud charges.
Lets not forget Khabib wants music concerts banned in his country because he doesn't believe in western society but he is happy to work, live and take money from it. He doesn't believe in western society's freedom of speech and wants to tell YOU what you can and cant say. He also belittles homeless people by laughing at them whilst making them do pushups for money.
This isnt the first time he has started a brawl in a crowd either, he and his team brawled in the crowd of the world series of fighting which spilled out into the casino amongst the public, he has no regard for innocent civilians lives.
Khabib is the biggest hypocrite the sport has ever seen.
@@chriswhamilton your absolute puppet.
Brilliant move by Khabib. Beating up Connor and then this is legendary.
Conor* I hate the dude but gd not even his own fans can spell his name right...
@Dan Man His name is Conor Anthony McGregor. Just saying.
+Ryan...ur petty dude
Sounds like your little fee-fees were hurt.
You don't get it. Never been on a team or have a country that backed you!!!
Dana has always solved problems with either bullying or money....neither works with a man who can't be bullied, and who holds principles over money.
Maximum respect. Khabib is showing us the difference between someone who acts like he is about that life and someone who IS about that life. This is the real meaning of "if one of us goes to war we all go to war".

What a stark difference between the two men across the board. Maximum respect to Khabib.
Very true
Sad part is Dana is too proud to not take back what he's done with firing his teammate.
@GluttonousDragon How does taunting his religion help Dana and the UFC? It's just another form of bullying and is more likely to make Khabib tell them to fuck off.
@GluttonousDragon nope look how much chaos he caused because of that loooooool. Wtf u on about. That's one of the reasons this problem even exists.
Luke a week ago: "OMG OMG OMG OMG Conor was just repetitively insulting everyone like a broken record and went "mur mur mur"! This is SO brilliant! Sooooooo tallented, this is what this game is about! OMG OMG OMG!"
Luke now (clutching his pearls): "Everybody is so angry. This cannot go on. Somebody has to do something."
Ummmm, yeah. You.
Alec B absolutely brother I noticed it as well
That is a valid point. ALL of these journalists stating shit talking is a "talent" and connor's is so brilliant for making fights EMO are part of the problem, just as much as the wwe fans that eat that shit up.
@invisibleaznDJ That shite got old and only appeals to the lowest stratum of the most casual fan base but Luke and the media are still pushing the old party line narrative that Conor is the only one we will ever want to see no matter what and nobody cares about anyone else and all we want is that basic insults ridden trash talk all day long down our throats despite the mounting evidence to the contrary. Yes, Conor is still the biggest star, would be stupid to deny that but he is on the decline as the sole face of the fight game and it is happening fast. Most fans would want to see Khabib vs Tony rather than Conor vs Diaz any day these days.
Give Khabib his money damn it
For Khabib it's not about the money!
Dana White is an example of a biased hipocryte
They want to give it to Conor to cure his physiological, emotional, physical and financial situation.
Putin will take care of him financially and maybe some advice. Khabib is a International hero !!!
Fkin thieves I'm sure they're calculating what is more profitable, splitting up Khabibs money or bringing him back and make so much more. They keep his money and will lose so much more and they know it.
Khabib to bellator, beats Josh Thomson, Pitbull, Benson, and Chandler, reitres at 40-0 a folklore legend GOAT
Imo he would have to beat tony and gsp for goat status
@@poplarbar5059 if he beats tony, probs best lightweight in history. His dad said months ago he wanted khabib to fight conor, tony then gsp for goat status.
He literally can’t fight in bellator.
actually josh thomson is his captain and i know that. You just act like people havent fought people from their own teams before, especially in bellator lol. only so much respectable talent to fight at 155.... actually, those 4 dudes i named is it.
Yes You agreed but for goat status he needs that gsp fight
I Stand with #KHABIB 100%PCT STOP THE DOUBLE STANDARD !!
What double standards? At least two of those guys attacked conor unprovoked and the other guy shouldn't of been up on the fence right next to conor. He was either attempting to fight conor or jump over and join in the fight outside of the cage. Artem is also only one guy and he didn't throw anything at the bus and was actually trying to stop conor from throwing shit at the bus so no two different circumstances. Khabib is the one in hot water now and has to deal with his own set of problems totally separate from conors troubles which still aren't fully resolved so hopefully khabib gets a good lawyer or whatever.
@@ridizzle189 Dont Assume !! Conor punch then its game on !!
First of all, im pretty sure u dont understand russians. Its not about money to them. Its about pride. And whats unhealthy is, its ur dana white way of being bias. And we all knew it. That bias system of his need to stop. Or UFC will lose alot of fans.
Maybe the UFC should act like a legitimate organization and not run it like the WWE and you won't have fighters wanting to leave. I'm perfectly fine with it, the UFC has really ruined MMA for me
And maybe if the UFC didn't have such a Monopoly then maybe fighters would be treated better.
Brendan here stealing allll this for his podcast lmaooo
Shout out to brendan shrub taking Luke's cawlntent
Kinda like how you steal comments to get attention
LMFAOOOO
Drake ϟ - Haha kinda like how you stealing Drakes name to possibly inflate your ego?...
I love this. How jealous.
Khabib is the man . He is someone who can make him an example for his/her child . This is real , if ufc fires his friend than none of us will see khabib again in the ufc , mark my word. I come from the same kind of culture . 27-0 🦅🦅🦅🦅👍👍
If that is true, and I believe him, I will be done with the ufc, and many of us feel the same.
Yes great example he jumps in the crowd and starts hitting people because someone said something he didnt like wow what a pro
@@jordanwillett8456 haha because you ain't a man
Yes , he is the man of his word , he did what exactly he said, he will . I am currently a father . I will tell my child if someone makes fun of your religion, culture, family, and you . If you are my child you have to stand for it and not be a bully of a comedian. 27-0 🦅🦅🦅🦅💪💪💪😎
@@jordanwillett8456 It still amazes me that people are actually giving him a pass on what he did. (No, I don't think Conor should've gotten a pass either. The UFC should've suspended him for the bus incident). No one should support people who chose to assault other people. He was in no way under threat from Dillon Danis. Both fighters should be ashamed of themselves. Both lack self-control and respectful fighting spirit. Neither are role models, in my opinion.
This is what the ufc gets for embracing WWF style fight hyping for a larger payday. Money over integrity and love for the sport. I'm not surprised, but it's sad.
Conor fans be like “ Please leave PLEASE “
😂😂😂😂😂
Se Ou exactly
Conor wanted a rematch before he even left the ring.. he made a fucking mistake and underestimated khabib and behaved like a clown without properly preparing for the fight. He would be the first guy to tell khabib to stay so he can get the re. So I say khabib should stay. What the fuck are people talking about? Putin is financially backing khabib?oh and by the way, khabib jumped and physically assaulted conors teammate alright? I'm sick of this double standard.
Nah we want a rematch
Se Ou. I like Conor and want him to win. But if you think somehow I would feel humlliation or any type of feeling for someone who win or lose you will gt shit either you are dum as a door or you are 5.
Its time for Khabib to move on and leave UFC, the world is big. Its a good decision.
Bellator is growing by the day.
He cant join Bellator, he is under contract with the UFC and they would tie him up legally. He could probably try fight in Russia and hope the UFC have no recourse.
Contracts can be nullified. Especially if he's not paid. He put in the work smashed mcgregor becomes Champion and doesn't get any money. While mcgregor gets mauled and gets 3 million.
It doesnt work like that, The UFC can offer him fights, if he refuses thats on him. But the UFC isn't going to release him.
@@theboxingbiker he will get paid. The UFC aren't holding his pay, the Nevada commission is.
So much respect for Khabib! Dana White is slimeball greedy pig of a man with no class. I wonder how Dana gonna weasel himself out of this one. UFC needs a real commissioner with some class and actual smarts, maybe Vince Mcmahon LOL or Rickson Gracie??? These fighters are underpaid anyways smh.
Agree, he's a classless slimeball. Speaks like a moron from the streets. Should not be running the show.
Rickson for commissioner gets my vote
A Gracie would be a perfect choice i think.
He worse then Don King and that's saying a lot. Dana s own mother doesn't even like him. Lol
I very strongly dislike this capitalist Dana White. He’s greedy money hungry with NO moral compass whatsoever. He has thrown away his capacity for fairness.
Dana White... UFC... Conman McGregor... EXPOSED!!! Khabib is PROPER CHAMPION.
Khabib will be exposed very soon. The filth he is sorounded by are just shady criminals.

This how you become a legend !!! Muhamad Ali didn't want to go to war in vietnam , everyone said " oh he is anti-patriotic , he will lose his money and license !! Happy now you will lose years in your prime and you will be FORGOTTEN!!" Guess what now everyone know him has the G.O.A.T !
Now , on Khabib you say :"UFC is too big for him !! " so what , the US Governement wasn't to big for Ali ?? Choose in what you believe PRIDE LEGACY HONOR or MONNEY !!
heck yeah
Respect
I agree when people who have the real balls to stand against corruption and Injustice, it inspires respect
I agree, khabib is certainly going into the right direction now, he has the goat potential.
LOOOL otally the same thing ! Damn khabib fan girls are going hard on the deliusional. Like Ali? Khabib? LOOOOOOOOOOL
Khabib is a Russian National and International HERO !!!! Dana has no leverage!!!
Khabib is now the face of UFC it's his way or no way! Allhamdulilah
There’s no consistency. No such thing as bad employees, only bad management.
Jazz1one Now that’s a delusional statement...🙄
YodaOnTheDrums look it up
Originally after Brooklyn, Dana said Artem was gone. Then they quietly made him a fight. I'm wondering if they may have done that for Khabib's guy. I hope they still listen to him, The Eagle is the goat! Good point on fighter's needing a union. I feel like the UFC will do everything they can to squash that.
Khabib has the upper hand here because 229 just broke the PPV record by a mile. He's already solidified himself as a true champ by defending his belt so he doesn't need the UFC. They need HIM.
Hahahahaha do you think it came 4th(broke records?) in PPV ratings because of him? Hahahahahaha Him Vs Tony, Diaz, Alvarez, etc would have done about 1mil. McGregor brought in those numbers and if he was against Tony, Nate, Alvarez it would have been about 2.5mil. McGregor is the fighter constantly bringing in the PPV viewers and after the Mayweather fight he's the biggest star in the UFC by farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
No Khabib needed Mcgregor. Without Mc Khabib would still be fighting for peanuts on the undercards.
No they don't if he was on ppv with any one but Connor it wouldn't of sold like it did Connor is the ppv long of mma I don't even like Connor but to say all those people bought the ppv for khabib you're wrong
Khabib is an absolute machine but his fighting style however effective, is not entertaining. Mcgregor sold that ppv like he does any fight he is in.
@luis are you really that dumb or just pretend for your comments? ALL the people who bought the PPV did not know the outcome of the fight or the aftermath. NONE OF US know what will happen in the future. What we do all know(well except maybe a fuckwit like you) is that the vast majority of the 2.4million ppv buys were because of Conor...and Conor alone. Before 230 how many of Khabib's fights were in the top 20 PPV buys?
Khabib has huge leverage in Russia, Putin has offered to him public office after he retires, if UFC doesn’t play ball with Khabib we may not ever see UFC in Russia again. Think about it. Take note Luke.
The so cold “king, best striker in the lightweight division” got absolutely MAULED, not only out wrestled as we expected but out stiked he got absolutely slapped and rocked hard
Who cares!!!!!!!
Brett Baratheon maybe you don’t bro, but UFC may.. or should
Brett Baratheon
None cares about you, that's for sure
Abu Qital Bro, I don’t think you know what you’re talking about, with all due respect. I’m Russian and I follow this news Very closely. Putin offer him a job in ministry of sports in Dagestan. And if he is smart he will take this job because it has a huge potential for him to grow in this field and do a lot of good and then Maybe move to Moscow and I head the whole Russian federation ministry of sport. He has potential to do a lot of great things.
I want to see at least 20 top ten fighters among all 12 weight division leave UFC and join Bellator. That would be a game changer. Fans, Media, fighters, peers - we need another promoter to organise the fight business with integrity and respect of the sport, fighters and fans!
Word!
I agree EXCEPT UFC has got a strong youtube presence and Bellator doesnt. I get most of my MMA from youtube so its a big deal for me.
Ikr atm its mainly UFC but it'll be like boxing with matchroom show time HBO etc etc and I can't wait. Hope Danas little world crumbles
original sin, I agree. When revolutionary changes are made, throughout history, and on all levels- its always after it's been needed n necessary for a long while. The UFC n Dana White have been dysfunctional for a long time. Khabib is the spearhead of a very much needed revolution in MMA...It's time the fighters were respected. The UFC needs to be choked out.
Or simply change the president of the ufc!!!!
Nice job! I just discovered Luke recently. I've been listening to all the other mma guys for a while, but here is the first one to be able to articulate the very things I've been thinking regarding problems in the UFC. Not to mention having the balls to actually talk about it. Thanks!
Now we see a true act of loyalty, as opposed to getting on a plane with a small army and a camera crew for your own public benefit. Were Conor in Khabib's position and Artem was threatened with being fired, would Conor, and would he honestly, issue the same ultimatum?
Maximum respect. Khabib is showing us the difference between someone who acts like he is about that life and someone who IS about that life. This is the real meaning of "if one of us goes to war we all go to war". He is telling the UFC to stick his first big payout for a friend not throwing dollies in front of cameras like Conor knowing that he would just make big money off it (as he did). What a stark difference between the two men across the board. Maximum respect to Khabib.
Looooool how did Artem not be banned. Dana said Artem was going to be banned. Surprise months later he gets a fight.
Well Artem was going to be cut and Conor told Dana something idk what but Artem is only in the UFC because of conor
You are dumb. Conor has pulled every string for his friends, not just Artem. To answer your question, yes. Conor would do exactly the same. Only he'd actually get the ufc to react. They won't do shit for Kabob
Tbf the guy did a very sly thing. The guy habib is defending.
Khabib is the REAL deal... Boycott UFC if they kick khabibs teamate out of the fight
joe matters Bro, I swear if Khabib's teammate gets fired and Khabib leaves then that's it for me. I have watched and loved the UFC since UFC 1. Part of business is integity. Dana White has no sense of integrity or fair play. I will never watch or follow the UFC if this is not sorted
I will boycott UFC if khabib leaves, sick of Dana being a goof
I promise I'll #boycottUFC

Very smart to get these types of vids out quick. Been loving your channel lately. Keep up the great work sir.
Khabib maybe one of the smartest Champions in MMA. I hope he is able to leverage his Iconic status to rally for better terms for the fighters. If he gets Putin on his side then Closing out Russia to UFC would be leverage he can use. The eagle is setting up to be the most powerful fighter in MMA history.
Michael C. Fischbach That all sounds good but you seem to be overestimating his leverage a bit...
The true voice of MMA. .not just chasing and creating controversy. . Keep up the good work sir
Hope it bites them back bad. They let conor get away with anything even though he's under contract and they hold the leverage.
Connor brings in the big views and money. He has all the leverage, he is more like partners with the UFC then anything else.
Conor has the leverage, Khabib does not.
they'll do anything to protect their golden boy Conor.
Thank you for your acute and articulate commentary on the state of where we are, the fans, the UFC organization and the fighters.
Excellent video. This dude hits all angles of truth. Great video. And the way you narrating voice is cool .
What other choice does he have though? MMA need an Ali Act. Basically, the fighters have no say
FACTS
All these fucktards have no idea what they are talking about, khabib got fucked, they set him up with the bus shit, dana was licking conors balls at the pressers, and conor was talking shit about religion and children, he loses his temper, and his boys backed him up, they should get a pass, only because they created this shit show, clean up the fucking sport and stop promoting this type of shit THEN YOU CAN DISIPLINE FIGHTERS, UNTIL THEN STOP BEING UNFAIR AND FUCKING RETARDED U OLD STUPID FUCKS
Tyson bit off His freakin ear children???
He was setup and took the bait. But now he is the king.
Khabib did say when he's champ he's changing everything.
THANK YOU for stating this! I have been so over the talk of fighter unions, trt, steroids etc etc over the past couple years. I want to hear about fighting plain and simple! Makes me happy you acknowledge this! You have always been my #1 Luke :)
Luke, I'm new listening to this channel. You speak the truth. Thanks for this video.
The problem is Dana and his favoritism and commentators do not talk enough about this. Then maybe things might change with enough support.
I used to buy every PPV since day 1, up until Dana started protecting Rousey, protecting her from Cyborg. I know...Dana always bashed Cyborg for juicing and such, but she's in the ufc not long after Rousy's departure. Who knew?
Now we see the same thing with Conor. Selective fights, never defending his belts. This crap hurts other fighters and their chance to get a belt. I'm a fight/fighter fan and retired from kickboxing in 1978. I really hate this crap Dana is doing.
Sure, Conor brings the PPVs, but it's because if all the hype put on him from Dana and comentators. We knew Conor sucked at grappling with Mendes, Diaz, and now Khabib. Guess who Conor will choose to fight more? Strikers, how much money Conor gets as a 1 dimentional fighter is mindboggling.
I stopped buying PPV after Rousy's favoritism. I'll start buying again after Dana is gone, no more stupid interim belt fights because Conor runs off with belts, and only Conor gets rematches, not those who lose to him.
Let's face it...who else gets a rematch for a belt with a 2-2 record in the last ufc 4 fights? Someone who Dana wants to give a second chance too...Conor, because he didn't like the outcome.
I watch Belator now because it's better managed...better for fighters and fans.
Commentators are on Dana s payroll and don't want to lose their jobs. Its sad and corrupt
Plus when Conor beat Diaz in the 2nd fight,they immediately said he wasn't getting a rematch
I remember Dana going on about Barnett how he sunk Affliction single handily and he'd been busted juicing 3 times and other shit and went on to say that he would never fight in the UFC again, then when they took over Strikforce he signed with them. Numerous fighters have had problems with him, Tito Ortiz couldn't stand him and was supposed to have a sparring match with him as part of a new contract then it never happened. Frank Shamrock has a long running problem with him but no one knows what it's about. I think a good move by them would be getting Dana at least out of the spot light, he kind of designated himself to be a celebrity but most people can't stand him.
Smedly Dumpsterjuice, you lost me at “Dana protecting Rousey”. Where’s your proof that Dana White was “protecting Rousey”? If that were true, she never would have defended her title against Holm, it would have been Tate v Rousey III and who knows what would have happened then? Both fighters are retired, and we’ll never know. So again, where’s your proof?
Smedly Dumpsterjuice, as for Cris Justino, between getting caught and suspended for juicing after the Yamanaka fight in Strikeforce and getting flagged by USADA a year or two ago for what turned into a “therapeutic medical exemption,” nobody can say that the criticism and asterisks upon Justino’s fight record is unjustified. Nobody doubts that she’s a very skilled striker who trusts her stand-up game more than her ground game, but the PED usage trail is still going to haunt her; Justino has only herself to blame for that.
Great video luke liking your content more and more.
I support Khabib!
Its Dana White whose to blame just saying
Great video, man. UFC yearned to become a big market, but didn’t take into account that their fighters became the staple and center stage of the revenue. The fighters know that know, and they’re exercising their leverage, but it renders useless if they don’t unionize.
its a long time since Ive seen a sportsman say something that says " my integrity means something " ... its not all about showmanship
hey luke, good to hear u man, at least u r talking by heart...
Diaz is pretty much saying being fired and legally detached from his contract With the UFC is a better option then staying and dealing with the company as it stands. We would probably see him in a boxing ring before the end of the year if Dana granted his wishes.
LMAO That bum would get destroyed in a ring
Any average active middleweight would murk that crackhead's ass in a boxing ring. Let alone guys like Canelo or GGG.
Just like Conor?
I love listening to Luke he always talk sense, in a objective manner mad respect
Keep it up luke, always the first to every story!
keep up the good work luke, u r killin it
If ANY OTHER FIGHTER besides Conor McGregor broke the law and attacked the bus full of vulnerable dehydrated fighters, they would have been kicked out of the UFC and banned for life...give these guys a break. it's only fair. let them fight it out in the cage with extra extra security of course
Jon Jones
@Pepe Roni Your point? He said only Conor Mcgregor gets special treatment Jon Jones got special treatment. Khabib is getting special treatment he attacked another fighters team and Dana said he wouldn't said he wouldn't punish him.
Luke, please address the entire post from Khabib. He was speaking to the hipocrisy on banning Zair when Conor threw the 1st punch. If you ban anyone, needs to ban Conor but of course they would never do that to the cash cow.
Khabib threw the first kick, but nice try.
great work....Luke thank you for your honesty
First time listener. Great analysis. Happily subscribed!
Khabib is bigger than ufc
The UFC and Dana White have lost their minds. He is lost without the Fertitta’s and Joe Silva.
Great Job man, keep up the good work!
Good video Luke. I don't have a solution either but it's definitely a conversation we and they need to have.
I know one fight I don’t wanna see.. Conor v Khabib rematch
Vogue Daddy we all know you will
I would like to se sec fight.
Vogue Daddy Totally agree, that would make zero sense at this point...
If Khabib quits, UFC is no more interesting.
so tired of mma journalists using different part of same interview or event and stretching it over a month. you are the only dependable source atm. thank you
just subbed ! why cuz you are talking the truth !!
Khabib can leave the UFC today and get a fat contract with Bellator tomorrow.
That depends on contract. Bellator would most likely avoid a lawsuit due to contract default.
Aesthetic Von ya I’m saying if the contract is broken...
He could but he’d be fined each Bellator fight prob.
Larry Tate y’all still salty over ur boy Conor? Get over it
Jazz maybe you started watching MMA on Oct. 6 but there a little thing called contracts. If Khabib leaves his career is done.
The thing is if the UFC cuts him and Bellator gets him, then Bellator officially have the number 1 fight in a division. A lot of casuals who dont know guys like Douglas Lima who is great think they are bad because they never went to the UFC. With Khabib there is no debate.
@S D you misunderstood my point. Douglas Lima is a really good fighter to most hardcore fans. To the casuals he isnt because he was never in the UFC. Khabib on the other hand cant be denied that he is a great fighter.
Is Dillon Dani's still part of bellator as that would be the fight to make as I believe Dillon Dani's beats him easy in the octagon
+Freddie McDowell You must be joking.
@@jayrex690 no buddy do some homework on what level dillian dannis is in his mixed martial arts and his ground game and you will see why I'm saying it chum
@@bigfred0997 you're a troll, khabib would absolutely cancel out Dillons ground game and ko him on the feet.
Strongest post in a long time my man! truth!
”Everybody is angry and frustrated. Somebody has to do something”.
Sounds like a description of life in the modern time, not just of the UFC situation.
Dana, "what am I supposed to do with this bottle of Proper Twelve, give it back?".
Lmfao good 1
I heard it’s pretty average, and Dana can afford to drink the good stuff if he so pleases.
Leave the UFC. If Khabib stays Dana is just gonna make a martyr out of him.
Bellator will do him good, certainly not financially good, but they'll pay him there. Plus he got the achievement beating the current biggest name (Conor). UFC has nothing to offer Khabib anymore anyways. Khabib got the upperhand at this point
Lavar's Balls I wish that were true but it certainly isn’t. His current leverage is probably as high as it going to get but Khabib is still under contract so he can’t just simply leave to go to Bellator if he wants.
Great video man!!!
Not always pleased with Luke but this IS his best comment showing so far. Well done, mate!
Am I the only one who remembers he was already talking about retiring in one of the interviews he gave last week, before any of this happened?
He was talking about retirement two years ago.. When he was having injuries upon inkuries
Bc he was gonna get big payday and knows he better bc the next fighter may take him serious and not let him hump there legs till there tired or not fought in two years
@@chrishinkle5982 someones salty their boy lost huh
Mitch respect for This Muslim
you've got to be an animal not to get angry when others insulting your family, your country and--most of all -- your religion. and khabib is certainly an honorable human being.
Excellent video man, ticked all the boxes.
The way i see it,Dana White and Athletic Commission sat on their hands idly watching as McGregor violated one rule after another upto Fight Day,Dana White and Cops idly watched too from ringside as for 4 rounds Dillon Dannis spewed venom at Khabib as he was fighting,when Khabib took action they were suppose to all this time,suddenly now they spring to action.
Exactly, it would have been over in the cage but danis tried to promote himself by bad mouthing Khabib all through the fight. It was danis fault, he used conor and Khabib, he should take the blame. If the idiot danis was not there it would not have happened, that's the way I see it.
Khabib is my favorite fighter, and what he said is right, he should be punished and not Zubaira. Khabib's team reacted to khabib jumping, so only khabib should be suspended for 6 months in my opinion.
McGregor wasn't suspended from the bus Incident, and any of McGregor team members didn't get fired from the UFC. Try looking at the big picture.
@Syuna Dana is not brave enough to suspend conor his spoiled son. I hope no one is suspended or fired from UFC. But they want zubaira to be the person to fall on the sword for them.
@@jorrba3934 Mcgregor wasn't suspended because he went to court and faced his charges. He wasn't fighting so the New York Athletic commission did nothing as their reaction was irrelevant given the existence of Las Vegas.
@@colmfarrel4742 yes he got a slap on the wrist. We not talking about the courts. Wat did ufc do?? Nothing, rubbed their hands an had dollar signs in their eyes. Should be same for zubaira, he went jail, he free, its done. Why ufc want to fire him. Did they fire mctapper?? Oh i forgot their boyfriend got a few slaps afterwards. Dana should sit them dwn, say enough of the bullshit no more, an continue on. But dana lets his boyfriend run wild with no repurcussions
@@colmfarrel4742 The Athletes commission have nothing to do about the bus Incident. I understand that. McGregor did break the law, and he went to court and paid his penalty. What i was saying is, Dana White should have at least suspended McGregor for injuring his fighters .What happened to McGregors team? Did the UFC do any action against them? The answer is no. The las vegas commission have nothing to do ,in regards of Khabib suspension. Thats up to Dana.
Another great video.
Great video, great points!
Most of the issue here is all about Dana running a dictatorship. Injustice flourishes and people are disgruntled. Move to Bellatore and this crap will straighten out. UFC does not have competition thats most of the problem
busymountain That seems mostly correct, Bellator certainly seems to treat its employees better but like you said they’re currently not much competition for the UFC. That however seems to be slowly but surely changing...
This is great for fight fans - thats the truth..
Luke is just amazing. Subbed
Well said sir i hope the ufc take your advice . you are smart you said what i was thinking about respect luke Thomas
Smart move
The man from dagestan is not as primitive as people (or dana) think!
This is the fight game . That's the obvious way for the guys to settle their issues . Artem himself said he wants to fight . I say let it happen . If Zubaira looses then he's out of the UFC , if he wins he stays .
Metal Detector Promotion yassss homie. Let the fight decide!
I love listening to Luke take on this issues. You speak what really matters that other are timid to disclosed and talk.
UFC is becoming more of a shop opera. The dirty games UFC played is becoming more revealing. Rightly said, the fans are becoming tired.
I appreciate Khabib for choosing HONOR above money. Of course you or we need money but when you are treated bad, honor and standing up for ourself is paramount.
The greats can walk away from money for integrity
I like these quick videos.
Time to fire Dana White.
Loyalty is everything! Khabib means Loyalty in my dictionary 💥
Well said ..everything u mentioned in video is correct ....there needs to be set payments for fights ....if ur working from the bottom u get paid small.when u work up the ranks u should be paid more for reward of success ...at end if ur good enough and u get title shot ..u should be paid over a million..its a small percentage of wat ufc get lol.....and if u defend ur title u should be rewarded with bigger incentives ...that way everyone on same page and u know atleast were u need to be to get big pay day ....u should not get paid more for trash talking ,as not all fighters have skill with mouth ,but all fighters have skill in fighting ...thats what they should be paid for ,not bigmouthing ....althou i do like the trash talk ....trash talk is wat is it thou u should not be paid for it ....love this video ...
Oh also ...a fighter that looses but gets more money makes fuk all sence ....none at all
Stay frosty
Fights need to made by Ranking not money Champ must Defend 2 times per year religion family to be left out of proposition. Winner gets paid the higher purse. pay based of earning% Fines for breaking rules.
The Roof Man L That sounds great on paper but will certainly never happen...
@@yodaonthedrums Yeah, you have to pay guys who are bringing in the Ppvs or they'll go elsewhere and be a cash cow for someone else. Thing is though apparently McGregor got $3m, Khabib $2m but the event sold millions of ppvs. Not sure what their cut of that was but it looks like the UFC made a lot of money off those two guys, if Bellator are giving fighters a bigger cut they will start getting more of the bigger earners soon.
Jimmy Nich Yeah I’m sure they both made well above what their disclosed purses were as I’m sure is the case with most of their PPV headliners, but as you’re alluding to it’s the overall percentage of the fighter payout compared to the revenue the UFC is bringing in that the main problem. The general consensus seems to be that the fighters are getting roughly 10% of the generated income where as in all other major sports, at least in the US, 50% seems to be the norm. I could be wrong but I doubt that percentage is much if any higher in Bellator. Even if not they at least have better sponsorship options and Bellator seems to be more accommodating and flexible with matchmaking and weight classes. Unfortunately this all comes back to the same problem though, there’s no fighter union or organization of any kind. There was a HUGE opportunity missed when the fighters had literally zero say with the UFC’s new ESPN deal. Now they’re just stuck in the same rut they’ve been in. Even though fighter discontent within the UFC seems to currently be at an all time high and Bellator is making moves in the right direction (but still a very distant second), short of the fighters actually going on strike I don’t see anything that’s going to help improve their situation.
Sounds awesome. Set it up with your own money in Dagestan. Good luck!
