Dana to khabib: why the hell do you wanna test still if your not gonna fight

[Zebra Cheeks]

Nice try throwing in con-man. No one wants to see that fight either. It was a one sided beat-down the first time, and there's no reason to think a rematch would be any different. There's no more need for that rematch than there would be for a Poirier or Gaethje rematch. All three fights were non-competitve. The ONLY reason he would come back is for GSP period!

There’s a reason it was the most sold ppv in combat sports history. It’s an interesting fight, and the rivalry is intense. Don’t act like you wouldn’t get excited if it was actually happening, especially if Conor beats Poirer.

If Usman were on top of Khabib for any period of time I have no doubt that Khabib would sub him. RDA almost got him with a kimura.

Also khabib did dominate Conor, knocked him down, had a 10-8 round, and finished him while going up against the most cheating in ufc history. Usman didn't do shit against Masvidal except stomp on his feet for 5 rounds. This is facts.

I like Usman but this is facts.

He's stayed standing with McGregor for the entire 3rd round and Gaethje, the first round.. and his striking looked more than "serviceable".

It's a fallacy to suggest he can't stand with the top contenders at LW.

Believe whatever you want dude. If you honestly think Khabib could outrstrike McGregor or Porier or even Michael Johnson for that matter without resorting to the wrestling...

Then that's the reality you live in.

And there's nothing wrong with grappling/wrestling it's MMA. But just in terms of pure striking Khabib isn't that good. He's serviceable, yes he is. He would lose a kickboxing bout with MMA gloves against everyone in the top 10 of LW probably, maybe he beats one or two guys.
