Where are you getting Khabib didn't want the Mcgregor fight? If anything people were saying Conor wasn't coming back b/c of Khabib. If he beats Ferguson I could see him trying fight GSP since I've heard him mentioning it a few times. Unclear if GSP feels the same but could be big fight.
Nothing happened to Conor for dollygate, but the hammer is dropped on Khabib's team. Conor gets a pass for throwing the first punch post-fight in the cage.
By the time Conor has thrown a punch Khabib has already jumped the fence and gone after Dillon Danis. The revisionism here is incredible. Nothing about what Conor did post fight caused Khabib to do what he did.
Who are his benefactors? Some oligarchs I've never heard of?
Yes.

Ramzan Akhmadovich Kadyrov is the Head of the Chechen Republic and a former member of the Chechen independence movement. He is the son of former Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov, who was assassinated in May 2004. Wikipedia
Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov is in hot water after Mixed Martial Arts bouts featuring children aged eight, nine, and 10 were broadcast on Russian TV on Tuesday, with Kadyrov watching his own kids as they took part.
Kadyrov’s sons – Akhmad, Eli and Adam – all won their individual fights before a capacity crowd in Grozny, Chechnya, with the footage quickly going viral on the Russian web.
The event called 'Grand Prix Akhmat 2016' was headlined by adult fights, while kids’ bouts were originally announced as an “exhibition fight.”

2p2er ChiagoJoey has a couple of interesting videos analyzing the post-fight melee that have gone viral. Dainis was getting into it with Khabib's manager when Khabib jumped the cage.
Second vid has a clip from an interview with Danis leading up to the fight
"I don't think those guys are really about it, you know."
"You don't think so."
"I think if they were they would have got off that bus, but that's just my opinion."
"So you think it's all show?"
"I think so."
"You think the beef with Diaz was more authentic than this one?"
"I think so, you know, Diaz is about it, those guys are about it. Obviously we all respect the Diaz brothers and their camp. I think that they're real ganstas, you know what I mean. I think they [Khabib's team] are all just talk. Who knows, though, we'll see"
Probably a load of nonsense but just got a message saying Khabib tested positive before the fight. Announcement coming soon. Replied.....he positively battered Conor.
Khabib never been busted or even suspected of using roids in his whole career and he now suddenly uses it vs Mcgregor, his easiest matchup at 155? Oh please, rubbish.

I hope it's crap.
I haven't seen any of the sort. This is the most recent news
Bader is way too close to his prime compared to these guys even tho heavyweights last forever . he is destroying Mitrione just gonna win 3 10-8 rounds wrestling him . Think he beats Fedor or Chael . Dominant performance in Bellator. I swear on my life if I had to bet right now I would bet that MM did not land a single punch in the entire fight that wasn’t a half or quarter punch on his back. Not one standing.
Bader is good. Among LHWs, he is only worse than DC (not that he is fighting there again), Jones, and Gus. At heavyweight, he'd probably be in the pick 'em to slight dog range against most of the better but not top UFC HWs (meaning outside of Stipe, Blaydes, and DC). That is despite the size difference working against his strongest attribute.
I don't think it's a bad look if he wins. He is probably the most reasonable winner in the field.

I don't get this... Khabib jumped out the ring & flung the 1st blows...Anything that happened after this IS khabib's fault.
