If you count useless unorthodox crazy moves that has no bearing in a real fight, then yes, El cucuy is the better fighter, but that's not the real world. Tony gets hit way more than Khabib and has no Tdd even though he use to wrestle. Oh, and he has a suspect chin too.El cucuy is an infinitely better fighter than Khabib
Lmao all this is false, all of itlf Khabib takes him down even once, it's game over. He already looked helpless AF with Mendes and Diaz on top of him.
Only person he actually knocked out was Aldo and that was half of Aldo's fault rushing in chin in the air.It’s not like he knocked out porrier, mendes, aldo and Alvarez in one or 2 rounds.
lol any casual reading this would instantly assume Khabib is a bum and not an undefeated champion in MMA with a 26-0 record that never lost a round.Listen, Khabib is a slow, pillow fisted T-Rex with a huge melon for a target and no footwork or stand-up skills. Conor gasses and has suspect groundgame, but don't pretend like he's fighting some unbeatable monster. This can go either way quite easily.
I think Ferguson is the tougher matchup. Taller, longer, better striker, more power, unlimited cardio, unpredictable as anyone, huge sub threat, great chin. Btw I'm comparing Tony to Khabib there, not Conor. Khabib is better at getting the opponent down and keeping them down if he gets ahold of you, and he has vicious GNP, but that's not much compared to all the threats Tony poses. I guess Khabib also has the advantage of being less likely to do crazy shit on the feet and risk getting KO'd. But if Khabib can't close the distance, he's toast. Meanwhile Ferguson has so many ways to win even if he does get fucked up in the first. If he gets hurt he'll stick around and always be dangerous, with his endless cardio, snapdowns, chokes, and endless puncher's chance. He's a wilder but more dangerous version of Diaz with more power and a takedown threat to boot.
most of the haters in all these threads insisted he would never fight khabib. or ferg....Love or hate Conor, the dude doesn't duck guys.
And if he wins this fight expect another year of negoatiating for his next bout.
Im baffled how stupid people can be. Conor just fought Floyd, and lost to Diaz twice. He is not making money because people believe hes invincible.
People just like exciting fights, and hes constantly delivering. So yea lets all rag on the only guy that is keeping out sport relevant... In favor of a russian religious nutjob that missed weight in 3 of his 11 fights and has caused multiple events to flop from last minute call outs
Fans wanted a Frankie fight
