What a moronic video, that guy is a complete asshole, that video means shit today anyways
But the fight is happening in a cage. So how is Conor going to game plan for it?
Khabib is mediocre without the cage.. Conor will gameplan
Yes, this is an older fight, however Khabib had already been grappling his entire life, so spare me the "prime" excuse.
Imagine someone showing a video of Tyron Woodley for example in college and saying he was too young. It's absurd, he was already an absolute beast wrestler in his wrestling prime.
Khabib gets completely nullified here with shocking ease by a guy that looks like he could make 135 with modern weight-cutting, largely because there is no cage for him to rely on.
You can bet Conor and SBG are aware of his as Conor has unparalleled fight IQ. The difference in Khabib's grappling efficacy without the cage is so dramatic that it's literally like putting superman back on Krypton.
I get what you're going for, but really you went about it all wrong. It would have made more sense for you to say conor isnt gonna back straight into the fence like barboza or RDA, and he has great ring craft, while khabib isn't a great cage cutter. But then again, neither is diaz, and he still found a way to get the fight there.
Even if was long time ago that failed takedown looked a lot like the ones vs Iaquinta. I didn't need that video tho for my prediction of this fight. Connor is gona clip him early an flash ko Khabib then everyone will say bs stoppage.
and what do you think will happen if he manages to get to the cage ?Completely agree TS. Khabib will be smashed if he can't get Conor to the cage.
