History repeats itself in Khabib vs Conor Mcgregor

[JustOnce]

Fedor Emelianenko was 28 years old when he faced Crocop who was 30 years old. Both were also married with one child each.

Conor Mcgregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov would be 30 years old next year when two may end up fighting each other next year. They are also married with one and two children respectively.

Dangerous southpaw knock out artist in one corner, yet arguably with a weakness in submission defense, versus Sambo fighter with vicious ground and pound who are undefeated.

In Europe, Crocop is from Croatia, three hours away from Ireland where Conor's from, and Khabib...well he's from Russia as well.

Fedor vs Crocop was chosen as the fight of the decade by Sports Illustrated and Yahoo Sports.

Conor vs Khabib, if it happens, would arguably be the fight of the decade at the end of 2020.

No idea what you've been smoking, but it's some good shit i guess.

Cool, didn't know Fedor and Cro Cop were married at the time of their fight.

Who needs counseling when you can beat the crap out of your partner and assert dominance?

History repeats itself after things happen, rarely before they never do.

 

[QueenVitor]

The build up to the fight should be fun, but Conor most likely starches him within a few minutes.

[KeiranMc]

Conor isn't married.

you know what i meant,

Conor would beat khabib. I see clear openings in the standup. Conor has the best in and out movement in the UFC. He stuffs takedowns by foot movement. And if you wanna bring up the mendes fight. Conor had an MCL tear, and also had a camp preparing for Aldo and switched to the best wrestler last minute. And still KOed him in 2 rounds.

yesssss

One big difference.

Fedor and Mirko needed this fight like oxygen. Both fighters wanted it as well.

Conor doesn't need to fight at all. Khabib doesn't need this fight.

Sure Khabib would make shit load of money, but ... he is Russian. he'll get his piece. His sponsors tip that money Conor has.

Interesting parallels. Undefeated Russian Sambo guy vs. non-Russian striker. I don't hate the OP.

Cro Cop staggered Fedor with his crosses.

Fedor's head movement was the best in the game and Cro Cop's boxing, by today's standards, was garbage.

Conor has the best boxing in the game and Khabib's head movement sucks.

Do the math.

Conor by KO.

If that's the case, your IQ, by today's standards, is also garbage

I know right, so much hate in this thread

Is Croatia a three hour flight from Ireland? Kind of a weird measure.

Mexico is a three hour flight from Canada; not exactly what you'd call close relatives.
