I’m not one to defend Conor…. but what exactly did he do beside make more money than Khabib, that would warrant a larger or similar fine!? #UFC173:24 AM – Jan 30, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacySee Nik Lentz’s other Tweets

#1 bullshitAriel Helwani✔@arielhelwaniA $500,000 fine and nine-month suspension is being proposed for Khabib Nurmagomedov. However, if Khabib does an anti-bullying PSA in Nevada, the suspension could be reduced to six months.212:27 AM – Jan 30, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacySee Nordine Taleb’s other Tweets

You should tell him to write a list of banned words and phrases that may or may not get us suspended….depending on who you are!

Also, they should let everyone know that you may still be suspended for using words not on the “banned words list”!Ariel Helwani✔@arielhelwaniMarnell: We are going to start fining and suspending for what you say as opposed to what you do.124:13 AM – Jan 30, 2019Twitter Ads info and privacySee Chas Skelly’s other Tweets
