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

[GrantB13]

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

Oh shoot. My bad friend. I must not have realized I was encroaching on y’all’s conversation.

 

[tramendous]

That's entirely my point though. Cruz presented / worded it poorly, but his overall underlying premise that Khabib was tiring himself out more than he was damaging Conor / Conor was tiring out himself was entirely correct. It directly led to Conor making the comeback he did until round 4 when Khabib finally managed another successful shot on him.

There's tons of worse things people accept all the time, meanwhile this one was true in what was playing out between Khabib's overly aggressive offense and Conor's defense. Khabib got himself a 10-8, but then lost himself a 10-9. That's not better than just staying measured and winning two 10-9s lol.

He didnt word it poorly. He just didnt mean the same thing as you. He was trying to make it sound like conor was in control. He wasnt. Youre also making the next round more than it was. All it did was drain conor's confidence that khabib isnt going to be walked through in the stand up either. The beating khabib gave conor was 100% worth it.

Conor was obviously out of sorts for that fight and admitted what a lot of us suspected in that he was dehydrated / hung over after getting drunk on that swill he peddles during fight week. .

Hahahahahahahahaha, you're actually dumb & gullible enough to believe this excuse bullshit? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Good one man, good one! Hahaha!

There's a lot of things to make fun of Cruz for, but this has got to be one of the most made up controversies of all time. Cruz should've spoken better, but he was absolutely right:


Make fun of Cruz for all the legitimately stupid things he does and says, but he was right here. Khabib did waste his energy, which briefly led to Conor coming back.

I absolutely love confident stupidity. Especially as if 20+ unwarned fouls had zero to do with it, or its even more likely that Khabib knew Conor had nothing in his stand-up after 2 rounds of straight domination, and wanted to show Conor that even with a full round of stand up, he had nothing for Khabib, than it was Cruz was "correct", in letting Conor " exhaust" Khabib by taking GnP to his face/body/period.

Tibau for sure, Khabib was 0-13 in takedown attempts, was taken down, lost 2 or 3 rounds, basically should have lost that fight

Welcome to mma and sherdog.
I’m on the phone so I assume u’re new, since it doesnt show post count.

if u arw a veteran then i’d be very embarrassed for u, pretending u followed khabib’s career.

who made up that 1 round ever loss for khabib myth. Probably rogan misleading you poor casuals.

You can definitely see post count on the phone. I only use this site on the phone and see everything.

nope, you can't unless you turn the phone sideways.
That zebra cheeks mod earlier in this thread told me and I tried and it worked.
Dunno why you can see it without doing so.

Justin won the first round against Khabib. And he didn’t cheat 20 times to do it either. Make up some more bullshit why don’t you.

Disagree that Justin won the first round vs Khabib fwiw. Khabib won that round IMO. Striking was pretty even, Khabib controlled the octagon and pushed the pace - which caused Gaethje to gas super hard... and most importantly Khabib ended the round with a very important take-down, and transitioned to full fucking mount and went for the sub. Would have been game-over w/ like 10-15 more seconds. Which is exactly what happened early in round 2 when Khabib got another TD.
Yes, Gaethje landed some leg-kicks... IMO his fans are over-estimating the amount of damage the leg kicks did. Sure they did some, but IMO Khabib wasn't almost fucked as many would have you believe.

Also the TS is off in that McG did not drag Khabib in to the "deepest of waters". Sorry brah, those waters weren't that deep.

Oh. I see what you mean. I just click on names and it pops right up.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

In now way did he week the first. He was seconds from being finished.

I says.. PARDON?

Listen Gumby.. I don’t give a fuck if you agree or not. But the OFFICIAL scorecards said Justin won round 1. 10-9, 10-9, 9-10.

Judges Ben Cartlidge and Sal D’Amato both scored the round 10-9 to Gaethje while Derek Cleary scored it 10-9 to Nurmagomedov.

How about you NEVER reply to me again..

WOOOW

Wooow indeed.. WOAH

Boooooooooo

 

[Equinox Shadow]

McConor got embarrassed by Khabib and PBF. McConor lovers sure try to rationalize his pathetic performances.
..Dragged Khabib in to deepest waters. BwahahahLOL!!!

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.

 

[Equinox Shadow]

I despise McConor. But I would love to see UFC allow soccer kicks, knees to downed opponents and knees like McConor did there.

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.

Oh 100%. It's stupid that strikers can't punish grapplers in sprawl position with knees and kicks.

 

[Shaddows]

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?

you do realize that whatever lame excuse you are making does not change what OP asked? For you to feel compelled to make up excuses for it just show how desperate you are, kid.

 

[markg171]

Why do you think he threw the knee if he didn't use it to improve his position?

But it didn’t improve his position. The actual kimura came 20 seconds after it.

It’s a stupid myth.

Hey Conor nuthugger, it's closing in on 2023 now. Conor's time has been over for 6 years. Shouldn't you be on the nezt bandwagon by now? Khamzat could use more posts.

Wrong, Iaquinta went 5 rounds with Khabib.

It’s funny seeing all the Conrats still come defend the coke heads honour
