Yep. Mir let quite a few opponents back him into the cage expecting them to take him down.It wasn't on the ground, but Carwin's fight against Mir had a similar thing going on. Carwin clinched him up against the cage to hold him in place and then melted Mir's brains with atomic uppercuts. Brutal KO.

Lol, yeah, he would lose to Khabib but it has nothing to do with "being from a different era" since his skill set is still just as common today as it was then. Just like a powerful Wrestler with a relentless pace is just as bad a match up for him as it was when Sean Sherk beat him with that style combined with far superior Boxing to Khabib.KenFlo is a legend but he's from a different era... woulda got mauled by Khabib
this is a hilariously bad and long winded post about nothing.
You're trying to suggest he isn't based on what you haven't seen. I'm basing it on WHAT I HAVE seen, actual things that have happened.
When has Eddie looked like a complete amateur in a fight? Only vs Conor.
That is enough to let me know he is elite. You tried to belittle him AGAIN, when the post about Khabib having beat better competition than Tony. Conor and Dustin are better wins than the guys Tony has fought outside of RDA. JT fight was the last of a streak where he went 2-5 during a 7 fight stretch, let's not act like that was JT of 2009 dude.
Does that mean Tony is some can? No, he's a great fighter. As is Khabib. Khabib has just beat more elite fighters in the past 5 years. Are you gonna tell me Kevin Lee and RDA are better wins than Dustin and Conor? Because those are the 2 best wins on Tony's resume in the past 5 years.
If there was a lw version of jon jones or prime gspJiu Jitsu is useless against an elite wrestler who is elite in subs/sub defense
Khabib has nasty submission skills
The only chance against Khabib is a deadly striker with elite TDD
To keep it short because you've decided to emulate me and post long winded garbage LOL...those 4 wins rank like this at LW:
1. Dustin
2. RDA
3. Lee
4. Conor
Because only 3 of the 4 have any sort of sustainable track record above 145. You can act like weight classes mean nothing, I disagree.
Also, I'm not even arguing Tony's resume' is better lately than Khabib's. I actually think the Dustin win locks that up for Khabib as of now. So...there goes that for ya.
If there was a lw version of jon jones or prime gsp
he doesn't say that. he plainly stated "don't ignore your wrestling" when training, but makes the point that trying to outwrestle khabib isn't going to work.So Kenny's gameplan is to not bother training wrestling because Khabib has been training wrestling too long, but to beat him with jiu jitsu despite the fact that Khabib has been training judo and submissions from his father since he was 5 years ago.
Great analysis Kenny.
The way to beat Khabib is exactly how you beat most wrestlers. Counter wrestle and punch him in the face really hard.
Just as good as the ones Tony has fought
This will be an easy domination for Khabib
If for some reason you're not already banned from shitposting, I'll come back to laugh at you
So you just bashed Conor for no reason then, when the convo wasn't about him, you make a long winded post bashing him
And you aren't a hater? Lol you're making the nuthuggers look good dude. It's literally pathetic.
