Coming in to this fight it was a lot of talk that Khabib needs the cage to dominate his opponent with his grappling, the dude takes Gaethje down with ease without the cage.



Sorry if post a lot about Khabib but the grappling leading to the finish is so beautiful to watch.

I'm sure this has been said a 1000 times already, but fire that ref. When you tap and the ref still want stop it.. I guess the ref wanted to see Gaethe asleep.
 
If all UFC fighters fought in a Pride ring, all the belts would rotate.

UFC has a cage. End of story.

So did Khabib, because Gaethje's parents were watching he didn't want to GnP him like Barboza or Johnson.

Even Patient but Non-Parental Gaethje would have gotten beaten up worse

What's wrong with sleeping to a blood choke? It's not a kimura and it's a title fight. If it's not crystal clear I have no problem with the ref letting it go.
 
Cagefighter is good at using cage to fight? What a concept. who would consider that a slight on Khabib?
 
no.

khabib can take you down anywhere he pleases.

if he spent time practicing in a ring or in a tent, he will learn to take you down and smash your face.
 
the ring is so superior to a cage. It changes the dynamics of a fight as you can’t hold people against it. You can cut off the ring which brings more action.

Ring also needs a lot more ref resets. Way more pauses in action in Pride than UFC.
 
Khabib went from having his TD stuffed to getting mount in literally 4 seconds.

I can see no argument that he's in any way, shape, or form limited in his grappling. Cage, no cage, ring, parking lot, phone booth, doesn't matter. Khabib gonna Khabib.
 
While they were all in their prime, no less. TFerg would be the most satisfying champ but I think his windows has closed.
Yes, especially if Tony stopped Justin while defending the best, or the fight was for the belt.
 
He's just next level. Only a superb athlete with incredible defense would stand a chance. It's why he had so much difficulty with Tibau.
