Liddell - "It's gonna be hard for Conor to catch Khabib coming in on that low single"

[Mysterio]

Khabib doesn't even need to complete a single.

He literally just needs to get Conor slightly off balance and it will initate a scramble and it's chain wrestling city.

Chuck knowsHe's the master of sprawl and brawl

Conor is fooked

 

[Headkicktoleg]

We both know why you did it Mano....Ha!

You know, your'e not all that bad, even with the Ghey Green Man Avi....

And that's coming from a Canucks fan.

I'll look back through the thread, but I don't think I didn't anything really.

@Kobra420 hey bud, I just went back through the thread and this was the first time I engaged you
"I just rewatched Khabib/Al and Khabib was literally throwing jabs while his hand was at his waist for 80% of the fight."

 

[JayJayMMA]

Any way of knowing if this will be the bigger or smaller cage. I think it could play a factor. As stated previously, Singles are hard to come by in the center of the cage when the guy shooting them is significantly slower upon entry. However the way the hip joint articulates almost always favours the guy coming forward.

Looks like it will be the larger 9m one, haven't seen them use the smaller one for a major PPV before

Yeah, and I was not even talking to you....

You jumped in to tell me I was wrong with what I said about his striking...It snowballed from that comment.

I was pretty sure then, it was done because I was busting your ass a while back.

Either way....

Take it easy Mano....

I don't see anything wrong with correcting someone on a stat. I'd expect you'd do the same with me and I wouldn't take offense. Facts are facts.

 

[That209]

His boxing is shit, same as his flying knees.....But, his jab is getting better, as well as keeping his hands up a little more.

Technically it is but it work for him. His main goal is to push you to the fence, shoot for the TD against the fence and work from there. It’s worked perfectly for him so far. He hasn’t fought anybody that can counter like Conor can while moving backwards. That’s part of the reason it’s an interesting fight. If anybody can beat Khabib right now I believe it’s Conor.

Sure thing...Just odd you cherry picked that to correct....

Also, I am sure you remember me bugging you....All the other Conor fans do...

Either way....You aren't that bad.

Keep'er tender buddy.

I completely agree Man.
I can't wait for this fight, and will give Conor credit if he wins.

If he does win, and holds the div up again...He can FK right off for good.

 

[MMAart]

Flying knee like Romero/Weidman could end this in devastating fashion.

Yep, Conor throwing a flying knee like Romero would end it.

I can’t really see him sticking around. Unless he plans on fighting for the belt at WW. You know they would allow him to do it. It’d be huge. They’d likely make him vacate the LW belt right after, though, but he’d just vacate both and go buy some coke and high end escorts.

Seen this several times and it’s such nonsense to compare. You do realize you can jump higher in water because your body becomes more buoyant. Jumping in soft sand doesn’t give you much resistance to push off of. If they’re both in the pool or both at the balance beam jumping to an object the same height you might have some semblance of a point. Do you even jump bro?

 

[markg171]

And nate was able to do that once he started using his high guard and blocking conors left, as it should be blocked. Conor power is vastly over rated and is not as efffective once you don't sit on the outside and shoot in. That's how he catches you, running in.

You should try jumping out of a pool and show us a video.

 

[chinarice]

That works both ways.

100% but Al doesn't bring any one exceptional skillset to the game like Khabib does. He needs that time even moreso than khabib would IMO... Just a testament by to Khabib really.

 

[cakemuncher]

Dat explosiveness

I don’t have a pool and I’m getting drenched by what’s left of Hurricane Florence but maybe this will help you out.

 

[Chain Saw]

To be fair, I think Conor is much quicker than Al on the feet.

If Khabib gets him to the cage, then it's a different story.

But Conor should be able to avoid those shots from the center of the octagon

(from this range especially. I don't see how Khabib would be able to get ahold of conor here)

Even our boy Chuck knows what's coming for Conor. I actually think Conor might be able to stop a takedown or two against the fence. i've seen many big named strikers with limited takedown defense use the fence to make the other guy work hard for a takedown. If I was Conor i'd be hugging the fence harder than Woodley.
