Not sure if Rogan on purpose was trolling to keep the Conor and Ferg backers talking, or if he really believed his shit but that was as bad as I have ever seen Rogan call a fight. Sadly, how a commentator calls a fight seems to influence so many people.
Rogan and Jimmy Smith are the 2 best commentators in this sport but being human they will mess up sometimes.
Styles make fights, Conor is a better pure striker than Al, but he has no where near the wrestling level Al does, is not as tough as Al, and I doubt Conor posses the chin AL does either.
Khabib whitewashed Al, won every single round, Al has fought Kevin Lee, Masvidal,Chiesa, Lauson, no one ever has dominated Al like this.
Khabib was not showing amazing striking, but you can see his striking is improving, his jab was pretty fucking good and he was other stuff on the feet too, after the first 2 rounds you could tell Khabib takes down Al whenever he wants, even while standing with Al a lot for rounds 3 to 5, he still handily won all those rounds and Al an strike.
It was clear he was on purpose standing with Al, maybe he wanted to test out his standup, prove a point, not sure but he still beat the guy every single round.
Yet you got Rogan saying how Ferg and Conor should better about their chances, Al showed some holes, lol what?
If anything this is worse for Conor and Ferg because Khabib can toy wtih these guys, he takes them down at all, remember he chose to stand with Al and toy with him, Conor does not have good TDD, Khabib will just take Conor down and brutalize him.
Ferg has a better chance, but Khabib's grappling is maybe the best in MMA bar none, that rubber guard ain't gonna work against him, and a lot of the crazy stuff Ferg does on the feet is risky to do against Khabib beause of Khabib's grappling.
Even though people won't admit it, I can see already some of the "fans" getting their analysis based on how Rogan called the fight. Rogan is a great commentator, but this was the worst I have ever seen. He took a shit on a guy having a dominant performance, notice how Jimmy Smith was making sure to not join in with Rogan, nor was even Anik during the stupid talk Rogan was doing.
If you saw what Khabib did to Al and you think that means Fergu or Conor should feel good you are funny to be polite.
