Do people actually believe that Khabib "Destroyed" Conor?

What the hell is wrong with MMA fans? I watched the fight and saw a one sided beating. Why are people trying to water it down?
 
LMAO at taking Sherdog hyperbole seriously. Of course it didn't destroy him or his willingness to fight. He was asking for the rematch hours later. That said, Kabob whooped that ass.
 
I see all these threads about how Khabib destroyed Conor, crushed him, Conor will never fight again etc...

Yes Khabib had top control and landed a lot of ground and pound. He also knocked Conor down once. He also subbed Conor. But lets be honest, Conor lost that fight due to exhaustion and took barely any damage in that fight. We all know Khabib is pillow fisted and Conor wasn't even concussed. Conor was back in the gym training 4-5 days later lol. That is not the definition of destroyed. He didn't even get a bullshit medical suspension. No concussion, no injuries etc. You can say he got dominated, but lets be honest he barely took any real damage. He could lose like that every month x 12 months and still fight for another 10 years.
yes. he destroyed him.

He mauled Conor in round 2 and that was it really, round 1 was lay n pray, round 3 was on the feet which Conor won, and round 4 was short with a takedown into submission. Hardly "destroyed", someone getting destroyed is Ortega to Max
 
Well..yeah. It was such an easy beating to a point where Khabib had enough energy to scale the fence and give some more of his team mates a lesson.
 
All we know for a fact is Conor came out looking brand new. Khabib took him down, tied him up and tried to wail on him. It excited and gave the khabib man in the sky delusionals means to turn the reality upside down but Conor took no actual damage. This is on video. Be truthful to yourselves.
 
I went to Conor's funeral bro, I know he dieded.
 
Doesn't mean you can't tren, just means no sparring and he could not fight professionally until the 6th. That aint bad at all. Fighters get suspended 6 months regularly.

TS claimed conor didn't get a suspension at all, and the poster you're responding to simply showed TS was flat out wrong about that claim.

What are you even arguing about? Are you 12?
 
Not destroyed in the way Cain destroyed Junior but he got his ass kicked.
 
Khabib did not destroy Conor. Conor prevented that by tapping. Khabib embarrassed and outclassed Conor. I won’t say he exposed him because everyone with half a brain knew Conor ain’t worth a fuck against a wrestler with more than a 10 day camp. Khabib executed the perfect dismissal of McGregor. Dropping him standing, taking him down, beating him up and forcing Conor to submissively surrender his neck like a dog. Conor brought nothing to the table.
These are the Proper© adjectives
 
The worst aspect of the destruction was mental. We had our suspicions but now know who Conor truly is, a quitter.
 
Yeah, he wasn't destroyed. Michael Johnson was destroyed. My girlfriend, who's an MMA fan to the degree that she often trains before I get out of bed in the morning (yes, I am proud haha), actually said to me "I don't want to watch this anymore" when we were watching the Khabib-Johnson fight. And I don't blame her. It was ugly. Conor, on the other hand, didn't take a beating like that. There weren't a ton of clean punches landed on him on the ground. He got beaten up a little bit, but it wasn't close to the career changing beatings some fighters have been subjected to, whether in the octagon or the boxing ring. Khabib did hand him his ass and show him who's boss, but he didn't destroy him.
 
Khabib made Conor his bitch. Any other interpretation is fake news
 
Yes, people actually believe khabib destroyed conor.
Probably because khabib actually really destroyed conor.
 
Khabib did hand him his ass and show him who's boss, but he didn't destroy him.
Also a Proper© response.

Ultimately it's a semantics debate, no? On the scale of

Beat --> Beat soundly --> Hand him his ass --> Outclassed --> Dominate --> Destroy​

most of us would say one of the terms in the middle of the scale.
