    Khabib is not very exciting but he's going to beat everyone in that weight class unless they can knock him out clean with a quick punch. Nobody can stop his takedowns. Even other really good wrestlers.
    you didn't find that exciting?

    That was scary once it hot the ground. Khabib is a beast. I'd defo worry for Conor if they got matched up.

    Every talking about what a monster Khabib is, incredible grappling, future champ, etc

    A few weeks ago he was overhyped and had beaten nobody.

    He's a No-Gi world champion, he trains with Renzo, his BJJ is slick as fook, he loves BJJ, he just thinks the IBJJF stuff is stupid, and he's right.
    He won a Nogi title, but wasnt at "worlds".
    I actually love to see he enter worlds but IBJJF prob wouldn't allow him.

    EBI would be the place for him

    nice to see the khabib hype back on track anyway...really dont know about this ''unbeatable'' craic...was highly evident in that, his chin is there for the taking

    You can definitely beat him but you have a small window at the beginning of each round to hurt him. Otherwise he's going to lay all over you.

    But it seriously gives the top tier of the division hope especially someone like Ferguson and obviously McGregor, however slim that hope is.

    I'll have to watch it back guys at the time I thought it was just Rogan doing his usual overeacting,

    The way he pinned that arm for the ground and pound was sick and he wasnt tiring either.

    This is what happens when you decide your opinions before you actually watch the fight. You get backed into a corner with them and feel the need to defend positions that arent defendable.

    Judge things on what you see.....not what you thought you would see.

    Khabib put on a clinic. He dominated nearly the entire fight and it easily could have been stopped in round two. But he also got badly hurt in round one with an MJ shot. Use your eyes. How can you honestly say anything different? Dont try to make the fight fit a narrative. Just call it as you see it ffs.

    lol. Agree to disagree. I just thought Johnson would clip him on the way in. And HE DID. He had him on wobbly legs. Just couldn't put him away and went for a stupid guillotine.

    Yep, agree to disagree is the right thing to say here in fairness. Whatever way you want to look at it though, he had the chance to finish him off and he didn't/couldn't (same thing really). Khabib then went on to ragdoll and pummel him into oblivion. Khabib's standup really isn't good at all but if he can even get into the clinch with someone, it's a done deal really.

    would a 13 second window do? :D:D:D

    would be tough as ****...but I definitely see conor starching him

    be interesting seeing him match up with eddie actually, could be a good no.1 contender fight while conor deals with aldo!

    Where's he going to go for better money? He's a great fighter but not an exciting fighter. He's not putting bums on seats for anyone.

    I've been riding that Khabib hype train since back in the day boi.

    He's a NAGA world champion. Won his weight class in NAGA and ADCC rules on he same day a few years ago, the NAGA rules win might have been at brown belt though?

    Romero is 5/4 with Paddy Power to beat Weidman. Pretty generous odds.

    As I said before - Conor will never fight Khabib and avoiding him is the only way for Conor to get LW belt. That is why he is fighting Eddie instead of the winner of Khabib-Eddie fight. "CONOR MCGREGOR IS GETTING SPECIAL TREATMENT" - Dana White
