So now we’re going to have fighters who pick their spots, not best fighting the best when they’re at their best huh? I like the sport how it is now where you don’t get to pick your matchups.
he fought the best of the best. Tony had his chance, but couldn't make it to the cage.

Just got home from the woods - how impressive did Khabib look - was it as dominating as I'm reading on various forums?

Yeah, it wasn't even a contest. His press was just too much. Justin landed a few leg kicks and stuffed a couple takedown attempts, but anything meaningful was all Khabib. He made the finishing sequence look elementary, which is saying a lot considering Justin's ability. Definitely watch for the sake of seeing Khabib's last fight, but don't expect to se a battle. That said, the fact that it wasn't a battle says a lot about his dominance once again.

He ate some hard kicks and a few hard punches, but he would not be stopped as usual

Khabib was basically a 180 lb terminator...walking in throwing combos as justin sidestepped, turned and retreated, and circled away

Khabib got him down twice and both times was all over him and about to pull a Submission off

In all seriousness, you can find the fight on multiple youtube channels if you type in "khabib gaethje full fight highlights" but you miss a lot because they are cropped views, so you don't see all the leg kicks and stuff like that. It was a clinic with Gaethje on his bike pretty much the whole fight. Didn't last very long, and not violent at all, at least not what was expected.

Idk how in the fuck ANYBODY could have seen that first round for Justin Gaethje.. it was pure DOMINATION. Khabib won the standup and the ground. He applied non stop pressure and had Gaethje gassed in one round. I mean none of Gaethje big shots landed, actually 2 did but Khabib ate those like twinkies and kept pressuring. He was the one hurting JG. That shit needs to be investigated! 2 judges saw it for JG?! How in the fuck! ?

Looked better than ever. Justin looked good as well, but Khabib just kept the pressure on and as soon as he had him down he went for the kill.
Made it look easy.
