Fun fact: Conor is Khabib's only opponent who deserved a rematch

The fight would have ended in round 2 via Kimura if McGregor didn't land the illegal knee

Also I always think Khabib wanted to break his arm.
Also McGregor won round 3 by grabbing Khabibs shorts and gloves,preventing him from taking him down and mauling him more.

He crotch sniffs so who cares.
 
Conor may have won a round (edit: not card) officially but it wasn’t even a clear round. Khabib landed the harder shots if you ask me. He could’ve won it as well just as easily.

Yep khabib definitely landed a much harder right in that round than anything conor threw and Had him back peddling

Khabib sonned conor that night and his fans need to get over it and stop trying to look for small wins

Khabib>conor

Conor won the round on the cards, but for the supposed most dangerous striker in mma, he didn't do fuck all

100%. Cheated constantly and Herb Dean did nothing. Whole thing stank to high hell.
IMAGINE if it had been Khabib cheating like that..... Herb woulda jumped in an been dedeuicting points immediately. But Herb had clearly been told to let McG do what he wanted. Fucking disgustingly corrupt.

You actually think the khabib that fought Gleason was in his prime form?? Ok buddy more like whatever helps you sleep at night.

You don't know shit about mma. How can you watch it this long and still be completely clueless as to what you are watching?

Your criteria for damage is superficial. Shots to the chin hurt your brain the most but don't leave marks. Conor got dropped and GnPd brutally.

Lol! My criteria is what my two eyes saw. Conor did not get layed out, he dropped and stumbled and got right back up into a jumping knee. He was expecting a takedown and got an overhand right to grill. “Dropped and gnped brutally” This is exactly what my post is about lol

The only opponent to win a round. Dragged Khabib in to the deepest waters, landed most strikes, stuffed the most takedowns, absorbed the fewest blows and suffered the lightest damage.

Dustin & Justin never called for the rematch because they knew deep down they had nothing for Khabib, Conor called for it cause he was rusty as hell yet survived 4 rounds, whatever you think of Conor, he deserved that rematch.

We aren't asking you. It's cute you thought we were though.

When you look at all the fights of Khabib's that didn't happen, it's a shame. He had fights scheduled/set up against:
  • Gilbert -> bout got cancelled for undisclosed reasons
  • Diaz -> initially stepped in for Gilbert, then turned it down for some reason
  • Benson -> Benson thought Khabilov's Twitter was Khabib's and mistakenly agreed to fight him lol
  • Cerrone -> Khabib injured his knee
  • Cerrone -> Khabib reinjured his knee
  • Tony -> Khabib got injured
  • Tony -> Tony got injured, replaced by Horcher
  • Eddie -> UFC replaced him with Conor instead
  • Tony -> Khabib ate tiramisu
  • Tony -> Tony tripped on a wire, replaced by Eddie who was the unofficial backup but had stopped cutting weight once it looked like he wouldn't be needed and turned it down as he was 190 now, Holloway who got medically pulled during his weight cut, Pettis who asked for a pay increase for a title fight and turned it down when UFC said no, Felder who NYSAC rejected for not being ranked, and finally Iaquinta
  • Tony -> Tony rejected another interim title shot, went to Poirier/Holloway instead
  • Tony -> Khabib stupidly left the US during the beginning of COVID and got stuck in Russia, Justin stepped in and beat Tony
  • Oliveira/Chandler/Poirier 2 -> Khabib formally retires
Hs career could've been so much better, and assuming he likewise stayed undefeated, nobody would've been able to dispute his record and legacy.

I agree with you that he would have benefitted from getting the title shot earlier, but it's not like he had missed out on fighting a slew of championship level guys. 'So much better' because he would have squashed Tony, a declining Bendo and Cerrone? Don't think so.

You know how idiotic your post is when 5 pages in only 3 other idiots agreed with it.

Everyone laughs at Colin now, it’s not a thing anymore bro, let it go.

Well I disagree about deserving a rematch 100%. But I agree he did the best against Khabib after Tibau.

When I watched the fight I was shocked at how well Conor did and I attributed it to the high emotion Khabib felt going into the fight. I think he fought his worst in that fight and let Conor off the hook in so many ways. He even forgot to batter his face and instead submitted him.

I also think Khabib was furious when he realized he let Conor off the hook so easily, and that pent up anger is why he ended up on Dillon Danis. I think if he'd been calmer, taken his time, battered Conor's face to a pulp, eased up every time the ref looked like he might stop it, and then continued to batter Conor's face until Conor tapped from strikes, he probably wouldn't have ended up on Dillon Danis and you probably wouldn't be calling for a rematch either.

So I agree Conor did amazingly well against Khabib, but I think it was due to Khabib being way too emotional and fighting a way worse fight than he normally does. And I don't think Conor has anything for anyone in the top 10, LEAST of all Khabib.

I'm sure there are lots of top 20 lightweights who Conor can't compete with today. The idea of him deserving a fight with Khabib is a bit laughable. I don't know if you were trolling, but I'm kind of assuming you're trolling.
 
Did Conor got anything significant during the whole fight? win a round...smh.

I like the guy, he is must watch MMA, but he got toyed with for how long it lasted and he cheated more times than he landed punches on Khabib.
