The fuckstick is still shitting on Khabib and talking about how great Al Iaquinta is. And now he's telling us what Brendan fucking Schaub thinks.

You'd think we didn't know Khabib's stand up is terrible the way people are reacting to this fight. Very strange.

I’m sorry but lol at anyone disparaging khabibs performance. He just dominated another opponent. I don’t believe there has ever been a 50-43 and he got 2. He finishes Conor in 3 rounds. To many people influenced by Joe Rogan spewing garbage for 25 minutes.

that just completed the night for me. Rogan has no sense of irony whatsoever.

2x 50-43 rounds and Rogan is not impressed.

Khabib showed again that he doesn't put his positional progression to get the sub together very well. Sometimes when he's down on the floor it looks like he can't decide whether he should be wrestling or grappling and when he gets uncomfortable he goes back to wrestling. It makes hos grappling seem clunky. Enough to get the job done, but probably would be a liability against a Ferguson.

Also his striking tends to fade and get more rudimentary. His chin being high is less an issue than it seems because he clearly uses it to bait for a shot, but someone quick could take advantage of that. Interested to see his future fights. Al did well.

The fight showed Khabib has one path to a finish. Either he didn't take it or he was denied.
I don't take much from the fight. Tough to take down a guy with that low of a stance, especially when he's your 3rd scheduled opponent of the week that you haven't trained for. Al threw some big shots but it wasn't like he was opening up like he would've needed to do to win, if he had he would've been taken down & he knew it. Khabib will have problems if he can't take Conor or Tony down, but we knew that already & stylistically they're much different from what Al presented tonight

rogan still lost

doesn't get that khabib didn't want to take him down

he wanted a punching bag

u really think he gives up after 1 TD attempt if he isn't comfortable?

Fucking rogan! He just said that schaub, the guy who said conor would ko mayweather, just texted him and said Ferguson would beat khabib. Who fucking cares what schaub says? Why shit all over a completely and totally dominant fight? I don't even like khabib, but Fuck that noise.

He outstruck Laquinta, an opponent that was his 3rd- 4th opponent in less than a day

That's true but I did not say anything to the contrary. I think you're right. Still, the fight showed Khabib's path to victory against a quality opponent is to do what he has always done, nothing else.

respect somebody who can relax and do what they want against a highly trained opponent

that is what MMA events were built on

He did. It wasn't a big call out though. He gave the big call out to GSP

Interesting move
No telling if conor will even fight again, so somewhat understandable I guess. Both are money fights. Losing to gsp means nothing since that is a bigger weight class. Kind of makes sense I guess. Then again, khabib isn't a name, yet, so would the ufc even try to make that fight?

Why the fuck are the fixated on his striking as if an unknown weakness was exposed? Did they expect Khabib to KO him. Sure I guess you could have hoped for a GNP TKO but, Iaquinta is a good wrestler and stopped some shots (he also barely survived two rear naked chokes). He also got dominated on the feet and on the ground.
