What if in the middle of the first round Khabib's knee got injured like Tom Aspinall' vs Blaydes 1, but before Khabib could even make it clear he couldn't keep his guard strong and a stand up fight any longer, Connor actually landed 2 combo punches and was then viewed by all to be the one to have defeated Khabib... Becoming a legend and retiring right afterwards. after all the shit and disgusting pathetic stuff he said to Khabib...
... Would Khabib have gotten into the depths of oceans, or would he handle it like DC after losing to JJ, carrying on his career, getting big wins, retire and have that same animosity DC has towards JJ, but not a strong enough one enough to eat him inside, more like a "well I don't like you but I am ok with it, for me I got past any unbearable hatred, I just don't want to have a thing with you"....
