Dude you know you my boy but you consider GSP goat. This fight should have had you on your feet for all 25 minutes.And still didn't finish the #13 guy. I'm a fan of both guys but man...Khabib should be ended this fight within 3.

agreed watch that fight again without the commentary and tell me khabib did bad.... LOL.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.
Good points. I wonder if they will try to put something together in Russia for himNo 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?
Well when you have to worry about the takedown aswell you’re going to take a few jabs to the face. Khabib tried a few times in RD4 and 5 and Al stuffed them.did he choose to eat 120 jabs from a grappler?
Hey....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.
Or that he has never faced anyone who can throw punches at him. I mean, the guy lost to Gleison Tibau but got a gift decision - not only have we seen him go to a decisions plenty of times before, but we've pretty much seen him lose. He hasn't been 'exposed' - we all know if he can't get the TDs he is going to have trouble with guys with good standup. But in this fight he proved that it's good enough to beat a UFC top 10 striker, so it's probably actually better than we thought.You'd think we didn't know Khabib's stand up is terrible the way people are reacting to this fight. Very strange.
Yesdid he choose to eat 120 jabs from a grappler?
Could easily happen. That fight has always only gone one of two ways, Conor sparks him out early or Khabib grapple fucks him.Your name speaks volumes.
You stop it...He needed his dad there...I'm out.
I'll bet any person on here a grand that if McGregor and khabib fight I'll take McGregor....I'm not even a McGregor fan.
I've never not paid a bet.
Come at me if it happens.
Depends on whether he can draw in vegas. If he doesn't draw in the states, it would be foolish to not target some of his fights for russia (if they want to go after that market).Good points. I wonder if they will try to put something together in Russia for him
cant argue any of those points, i just doubt that khabib went all out in this fight and still won 2x 50-43 and thats scary anyway u wanna slice it.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.
Easier to spell.I hope everybody calls al Laquinta from now on lol

yeah I probably didn't need to quote you for most of that, some other people are overreacting to this fight quite a bitThat'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.
had the Hurd/Lara fight on my 2nd tv, very good fight & worth a watchYes
Prove me wrong lol
Yeah I don't think casuals even know who he is. Sure wouldn't recognizeDepends on whether he can draw in vegas. If he doesn't draw in the states, it would be foolish to not target some of his fights for russia (if they want to go after that market).
we're all a bunch of emotional bitchesyeah I probably didn't need to quote you for most of that, some other people are overreacting to this fight quite a bit
Nicehad the Hurd/Lara fight on my 2nd tv, very good fight & worth a watch
I'll rewatch. It didn't look like a great performance to me thoughagreed watch that fight again without the commentary and tell me khabib did bad.... LOL.
Didn’t he also say Conor would beat May in 2 rounds as well. He’s the Al Gore of future predictions.
