Can we all agree that Khabib has an iron chin? Conor cannot knock him out in 1 punch.

He took big shots from MJ and walked forward and took the round in a 10-8.

2 big spin kicks from Edson Barboza (1 of them landed clean) and yet he ate them and walked forward telling Barboza to keep trying and outstriking Barboza on the feet and lighting him up with punches.

Khabib's big head is not gonna be easily knocked unconscious, sorry to break it to those who think Conor can knock him out in 1 punch.
 
Barboza did not hit him clean and he took one big MJ shot. Im a Khabib fan but we have no idea what his chin is like really.
 
His chin looks solid, fighting is crazy though seen too many knockouts from what looked an innocuous punch to make any definitive statements.
 
Khabib wouldn't be able to take that left straight.
 
Nothing Barboza threw landed clean other than some body kicks and leg kicks
His wheel kicks were over extended and landed with his calf more than his heel
 
He takes a good shot but so did Liddell. Conor's only chance is to punch him behind the ear like he did to Poirier and follow up with one or two illegal strikes.
 
No, nothing I have seen suggests he has an iron chin.
 
A desperate spinning kick that doesn't land clean isn't the same as a straight to the chin.
 
If it’s the same Conor that fought last in the UFC, no. He never had 1 punch Ko power.

But if we see a new and improved Conor after all the training for the Mayweather fight and his power has increased...then perhaps.

He better train takedown defense/scrambling like a motherfucker if he has any hope at all of landing something on Khabib.

Of course Conor can finish the fight with a punch

Also, I don't think Edson landed anything clean to the head, certainly not any wheel kicks
 
Was his chin even tested?

Big Khabib fan here but he did not fought any striker like Conor. And Conor did surprise some opponents with his strikes.

If it comes to a fight though I'd go with Khabib. His ground game is just another level
 
Barboza didn't land the spin kick clean, he landed with his ankle on Khabib's neck, not the mention he was already gassed and beaten.

MJ barely grazes him and Khabib is doing chicken dance here.
 
For sure he has iron chin. Most dagestani fighters have iron chin i dont know why. But even if i think khabib gonna smesh Conor, that one speedy punch that khabib couldnt see to his chin or ear could turn lights off of him.
 
Whether it's for hating or for nuthugging, these kids just can't stop making Conor threads.
 
Conor's not coming back. He's made his millions. He should have some class like GSP and vacate
 
I swear, half the members on Sherdog only watch the UFC for Conor.
