Rewatch Islam Makhachev vs Dustin Poirier | FULL FIGHT | UFC 311

[markg171]

This fight was yet another example of how much better Khabib's top control is. Islam looked very mortal in there and at times beatable.

I bet you'd be singing a vastly different song if Islam had subbed Poirier in the 1st like we all thought was going to happen.

And then nearly did with the kimura we all thought had the fight over.

that's 100% wrong. Khabib just never had to show his inner resilience dog, he was just too brutal and too good. But he has the dog in him, Javier and a few guys mentioned a few times when Khabib got really pissed what he'd do. His iron will pretty much tells you that he has a mad dog sitting in there ready to be unleashed if needed.

I like how you'd rather believe tall tales from gym partners instead of believing what your own eyes showed you during his career.

yea. I'm gonna do me, and you stay in your corner and living in your hateful world.

It's not my fault you would rather believe in fairytales than what your own eyes showed you.

Khabib was lucky in the sense he has all the intangibles. His body type, his chin, his unshakable will, his aggression. Just an incredible fighter.

terrible submission!

What was so terrible about it?

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Dustin would have won if he made it to the 5th by damage.

I don't know about that. Dustin had moments and it was a competitive fight but IMO Islam always seemed 1 step ahead

 

[Big Tuppy Hole]

Dustin was sadly done after the first takedown. His hands were slow afterwards.
That or bad sleep, too much warm up.

The clash of heads that broke his nose played a major factor
