Fans want blood, won nationals in wrestling at 184 pounds, we're going to make him quit, put the pressure on, he only prepares for 2 rounds, I can go 5, I've seen him quit and cry in a sambo match, I will hit him in the stomach so hard, I have 20 years in grappling, I'm having fun, I keep my elbows sharp, I have long arms, my darce, it's just like chess for me, if he hurts me, I'll hurt him twice as bad, I work my ass off
Kind of interesting that he mentioned his hand size, his blue collar background, and the interviewer talking about how his grip strength stood out when they shook hands.
Could be bullshit but I don't know if these conclusive statements about Khabib being the stronger guy is true. Yeah Khabib is obviously a brute, but who is to say Tony isn't strong as shit too? He's been in there out grappling jacked/juiced dudes like Tibau and Trujillo just as much as Khabib has (and better against Tibau)...and while there's a lot of technique in there, he definitely didn't get outmuscled. I actually think Tony has deceptive strength ala Jon Jones/Silva due to his length and leverage compared to the rest of the division.
