Chad Mendes dominated Conor more than Khabib did

[Seismic]

Short notice Chad easily took Conor down, Khabib had to work very hard to do the same.

Chad was busy on the ground, landing numerous vicious elbows. Khabib was inactive and happy to just smother him.

Chad hit Conor with 4 or 5 bombs, Khabib landed one shot on an off balance Conor.

Chad almost finished Conor while Conor was still fresh. Khabib never threatened to finish Conor until Conor was exhausted.

Chad fought an active and peak Conor. Khabib fought a balloon footed Conor trying to shake 2 years of ring rust.

Chad didn't lose a round to Conor. Khabib did.

Chad > Khabib?

He lost

This is a particularly stupid thread but does anyone remember Conor’s original opponent for that fight? Think it wasn’t a wrestler, which would obviously affect how he would train going into the fight.

Khabib was like an eagle toying with its prey:


- Outstruck

- Outgrappled

- Beat into submission

- Slapped Conor’s team around


Khabib cucked Conor in every way

I think Conor was supposed to fight Jose Aldo on that card.

Edit: Yup, quick Wiki search confirmed.

That does factor into the equation yeah, not sure why TS has omitted the only stat that matters. I smell bullshit.

Chad the roid head

 

[smalliebiggs]

Chad didn't make Conor say "it's only business, i'm sorry Khabib, Dana made me do it!"

Khabib knocked him down, got a 10-8 round, and finished him. Not sure how Mendes losing means he did better. Early success does not equal doing better.

Chad blew his load by going too hard and you say thats a better strategy than pacing yourself and winning..
