Edson is getting fucking smashed, and it's not even close. If I were Conor, I'd vacate the title right there.
 
Khabib is an awful matchup for Tony too.
 
I see in barbozas face, It is like trying to avoid a tsunami to take you down.

Agreed. He is the most boring fighter ever though. I would never post messages on forums during a Conor fight.
 
meh. barboza's kicking is elite, his striking is not that great. he has short arms. connie presents a totally different problem for khabib
 
Conor is Khabib's worst match up. Great boxing is his kryptonite, he has no striking defense.

lol what? Barboza has longer arms than Conor, he's a really rangey guy. Now Khabib, he has short arms. He's built like Artem but still outstrikes everyone in the division cuz theyre all terrified of being under him.
 
yeah dudes a fucking animal no two ways about that. That ground and pound was nasty af. But I stillcant really bring myself to be thrilled about a grinding wrestler. I just dont find it appealing. I respect the insane ability he has but I dont enjoy watching it lol
 
Tony smashes khabib,conor sleeps him as he comes in.

Besides he just did his annual 1 year fight,we wont see him for anthor year +

short arms? He had a 5 inch reach advantage on Khabib. They showed him at 75 inch reach. Conor's was listed at 74 inches for Mayweather.
 
Disagree. Khabib made that fight harder than it had to be. He should have finished that in the first.

He's too active. He needs to slow down, and go for the kill. Also, he does not look good on his feet. Barboza was also doing well against his initial take-down attempts.

Barboza was tailor made for him, and he still survived.

He poses the same problems as hes always posed, but Tony has a much better ground game than Barboza.

You guys need to calm down. Khabib was suppossed to win this fight, and win it easily. He had a harder time than I expected. No thunder in his hands.

I could see him decisioning either Conor, Or Ferguson, but I could see them both beating him as well.

Barboza's boxing is terrible. He's only Thai threat, and a modest one at that.
 
The key against Khabib is boxing and precision which Edson doesn't have, for me, his toughest matchup is Conor, he would destroy Tony though. An Alvarez fight would be interesting too...
 
Conor can catch him coming in, as he's got the precision and counter game.

Tony can scramble and grapple much better than Barboza, and can hit subs.

Khabib is a pressure beast with a phenomenal top game, but he's got holes. I wouldn't be surprised if he beat either, or was beat by either.
 
Hey, that dude is BAR NONE, the best grappler at 155 IMO. But man, it's same shit different day watching him. He gets hit a time or two, clinches, and then becomes a heavy wet blanket that punches you in the face.
