    Hell of a start.

    Justin is swinging for the fences.

    Khabib round for me.

    Khabib looks at least a stone heavier, looks like fighters from two different weight classes.

    Gaetje was like a rabbit caught in the headlights. He was blowing after 30 seconds.

    Makes you wonder, how good mcgregor actually did against khabib doesn't it

    As a casual it feels so different/annoying watching Khabib....It’s like he is playing a different sport to other fights I watch....

    I actually thought Justin has him there...Shows how much I know....Like Justin ain’t even marked but there you go...

    Dominant performance but the difference in size was very noticeable.
    It was like a lightweight vs big welterweight.

    I don't understand how he can get that big in 24 hours.

    Like the size advantage was huge.

    Looked upset/teary alright, presumably the lack of his Dad in the corner. Hard to know whether that's a pro or a con though. Could put in the fight of his life with that fuelling him.

    Wasn't 100% on this but based on the reaction at the end 100% he was very emotional.

    McGregor should never ever fight him again. After making the Covid joke about his dad I'm not sure Khabib would release him if he tapped to a joke or a joint lock.

    He's a terrifying prospect, who next? With the weight being so obviously tough for him does he go up?

    Is there any point in opponent going for Khabibs legs like he does go others???? No??

    Was Justin really scared?

    Yeah the rumours of Gaethje not having interest in grappling are true. Khabib was straight to mount after his first take down.

    Khabib retiring?

    He will want 30 fights, he'll be back for a big payday.
