• Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version.

All jokes and S--- posting aside, was the Connor/khabib fight really that much of a mismatch?

Conor got outstruck and knocked down by Khabib. Shows you how skilled Conor’s “striking” really is.

No, it shows how little you train MMA.

I have gotten the better of guys who have 5x better striking than me, all because they really-really didnt want me to take them down. It made all of their offense come less often, and with less big risky attacks.
Meanwhile im landing sloppy overhands and hooks because every time i bend my knees they think its takedown time.

If i can observe that as some scrub, imagine the extra attention someone has to pay khabib while fighting
 
The Conor fanboys said he was going to KO Khabib in round 1 and now they are arguing Conor didnt get beat up to bad as some sort of moral victory. Fucking bitch ass losers, I wish they would all get decapitated on live tv, which would make the world a much better place imo.

On paper not a mismatch but what did conor do to Khabib? He didn’t really land anything and definitely not any significant strikes...he got thoroughly dominated.

Are you blind, or were you watching the fight with Khabob's balls blocking your vision? Conor landed 2 really big significant shots which were every bit as significant as Khabib's 1 fluke overhand. Khabob never even knocked Conor down. It was never officially ruled a knockdown. So it was counted as a significant strike just like Conor's 2 massive strikes

Khabib thoroughly controlled the fight. Outstruck, outgrappled, and generally just beat McGregor up without taking any damage.

False. Conor outs struck the fuck out of Khabib rounds 3 and 4 to win the striking dominantly. Conor out working and out striking Khabib>>>>>1 fluke overhand

"The Justin Khabieber Conor hating fangirls said Khabieber was going to destroy Conor in round 1 as soon as he got a hold of Conor, 4 rounds later with Conor dominating a round, and now they move the goal posts and rewrite history to argue Khabib still "dominated" Conor. Fucking bitch ass losers, I wish they would all get decapitated on live tv, which would make the world a much better place in"

You originally said he said to take it easy on me.

You linked to a clip where he said it’s only business

"Its only business" was his plea for mercy.
Conor was getting eviscerated
 
Dictionaries should just have a pic of Khabib and Conor under the word mismatch.

Not blind at all and I’m not even a Khabib fan but I see u are a Conor nut hugger so I won’t even entertain a back n forth with u. If u seriously think Conor looked good in this fight then u are delusional.

Who tapped out, thereby quitting and losing the fight when he was supposed to be the Greatest fighter of all time, according to you?
 
When a guy has to whine midfight "its only business" ...its a mismatch.

Good post I hadn’t thought of that

good post I know we hate Connor theatrics but I’m having more fun highlighting his positives in the ring. Bc a rematch is inevitable, and it’s so damn interesting to imagine what happens to this narrative if Connor steps it up. Does Connor win and they shake hands? What if Connor wheel kicked him and knocked him out on his feet? What gets said after? Khabibs team took the low road after the fight. Will the beauty of this sport allow them to swallow their pride?

Like what he did to Mendes. A lot of people overlook how much damage McGregor did to Mendes' body and just focus on 2 week's notice.

What about Connor laughing and shaking hands in between rounds? Wouldn’t that lead more credence to my theory that he felt bad for the simple minded backwards thinking khabib?

Especially since Conor was absolutely fine after the fight and never really ate any powerful shots throughout the fight and then flight two thugs after the fight?

Your opinion that “it’s only business “ means “please stop hurting me” is one that you can’t actually believe, use context clues.

For one he’s a fighter and was unharmed the entire fight. Two he knows there are boom mics. Three ....do you think Connor was pleading to a fighter to take it easy on him like it was gonna work?

Khabib kept saying “let’s Talk”. While Connor avoided ten or so huge swings. No damage taken in that round.

I rewatched the fight today. Khabibs control of the limbs is insane. Either Conor has no cardio or he was panicking or khabib is ducking unstoppable.

I think Conor had the idea to knee any takedown attempts and it was a flop. If I were him I would throw crazy shit. Khabib seemed very concerned about eating any counters.
