Agree with a lot of that.
However, a number of key people (fighters and their teams, the UFC officials, etc) have a responsibility for the safety of the crowd. They have to check their behaviour so a full scale riot doesn't break out, injuring innocent spectators who have paid money to watch a few fights, not be in the middle of one!
Khabib's actions on the night were irresponsible.
PS I also don't particularly like the way Conor McGregor conducts himself and I think the UFC should do more to promote respect, as opposed to arrogant bravado.
Yeah, i don't think it was good idea for Kabib to have done it, but can undestand why becuase of the build up to this, and the UFC as an organisation should take a lot of that blame, and for me, thats been the worst part, that first press conference was a travesty and i really disliked it.
An i think, due to the build up alot of trouble would have happened anyway, pitting the irish (who are generally well behaved when travelling) against the russians, Brendand Shuab intimated as much on the joe rogan pod cast before the fight as the reason he wouldn't go, so either way i think there would have been a shit show after.
