Any advices before i start watching ?

Turn off the sound?
 
Turn off the sound. Keep in mind that effectaive defense requires some advantage being gained from stopping TD. Note cage control and aggression.
 
Round 1

Very green Kabib, impressed with Tibaus TD defense, Mario Yamasaki with a bullshit separation.

10-9 round for Kabib because of the Agression , Gleison was full defensive mode.

I could make a case for a 10-10
 
Ehh saw it live with no biases and thought Khabib won. I didn't like/know much about either fighter at the time. Just knew gleison was the test guy to see if a fighter was legit. I thought Khabib won it. Haven't watched it since.
 
Gleison has probably been juicing for 20 years. And Khabib still won
 
Round 2

Really close Round

Could score it both ways or even a 10-10
 
People that support Khabib wil say "you can´t win a fight only defending takedowns". They're wrong. Tibau was landing more shots and the harder shots on the feet. And yes, he defended all the takedowns.
 
I don't see why this matters. It's like 2006 when Fedor was on top and people kept bringing up the Arona fight, although it was pretty clear that if they were to fight again that Arona would get shit whipped. If Gleison and Khabib fought now, Gleison would die.

He landed 3 more sig strikes and was on the back foot the entire time. I really don't see a case for him winning. A draw? Maybe.
 
Gleison won easily. Probably the biggest robbery in MMA history.
