Khabib claims McGregor vs Alvarez was 'fixed'

[JoshR86]

I like how u threw "fake" onto what he said. U just add what u want to back ur logic. I read it, and read it again.. He never said fake. He said..
I no understand this fight you know—UFC give him this fight like seven, six weeks before the fight,” Nurmagomedov said. “He [McGregor] catches him a few times and he [Alvarez] falls down. I do not understand—a lot of people have a lot of questions about this fight.


So where does he say fake.

The translation was changed

I copied the original translation while the debate was going on. It read.

" I do not understand this fight [McGregor vs. Alvarez], he catch him a few times and he falls down—to me this is a fake fight. "

Although even in the revisited part, what questions could people possibly have that doesn't question the legitimacy of the bout?

Bro people can talk all the shit they want about Conor, but my god he is a striking legend.

Makes me sad that last gif might be the last combo we ever see him throw in an actual legit mma title fight.

70% of UFC fighters are publicly saying the UFC is fixed fights like Pride or the WWE??? SOURCE?

You Stated (Below)
"Kebab needs to be fined from the UFC for this shit. You can't go around questioning the legitimacy of the sport you are in. He also better be 100% in panic wrestling mode from the bell and he will get slept."

I mean majority question the legitimacy (not specifically saying fights are fixed) of the sport or talk bad about the ufc in general. No way 70% think fights are fixed. Not what I meant. Sorry for the confusion my friend.

He doesn’t recognize what good striking looks like. Well shit I am shocked to hear that. Shocked..

 

[Defeat Unknown]

That was an embarrassing fight for Alvarez. I don't blame anyone for thinking it was fake.

 

[AnotherOldGuy]

he is the only one who can say what he thinks.
yes, uncle Dana gave Conor a gift and no other fighter,even a reporter was able to say that.

If the UFC is fixing fights then Khabib's win was also fixed - organizations that fix fights especially fix title fights. In fact, every contender fight is arranged by organizations that do that, so Khabib's last few fights would also have been fixed.

So he's either just saying things he knows aren't true (pretty common among fighters and promoters, they're just trying to get attention), or he just incriminated his own title.

Me, I think he's just speaking to keep his name in the press, it can only help with PPV numbers.

Maybe Khabib doesn't even mean that it was fixed or suspisious.
Just that, in his opinion, a "real" fight is a war where you gradually maul the guy, and he thinks getting a KO with a few punches isn't "a real fight".

Although even in the revisited part, what questions could people possibly have that doesn't question the legitimacy of the bout?

Yeah, "a lot of people have a lot of questions about this fight." makes it sound even more like he's hinting that it was fixed.

But it's not impossible that he could mean that the questions were mostly stuff like: What was Alvarez gameplan? How good is Conor's cardio really? etc

But it seems improbable that would be what he wanted to highlight..

 

[RawkyMarciano]

100% a fixed fight.

 

[noizer]

Eddie seems like a guy who would take a dive for $$$

this claim is ridicilous. why would anyone think Eddie would be willing to take a dive? he verry well knows a win over Conor would catapult him into stardom and bigger paychecks.

I like my Khabib's like I like my Jack's. SIMPLE.

"striking legend"

striking legend that lost once to nate and barely got past him on the second fight



jesus christ, you mcgregor fans are fucking nuts

He lit up Nate in both fights. Only Nate's iron chin saved him.

Hasn't stopped about 1000 claims of Pride matches(bar Coleman/Takada where the former pretty much admitted it) being fixed on this forum with nobody being banned.

If it is Alvarez is a very good actor

Ironically enough, these actually do look like fake knockdowns because Alvarez puts his arms out to break his fall.

[chaoticmayhem]

Alvarez/Conor is one of the fights I think was fixed as well. Alvarez got the pay day of a lifetime.

CONOR FANS 2017:

I love to see the surprised look on their faces when they first feel that left hand shot.

I think Conor will KO him (not TKO) inside 1 minute.

he won't be able to be surprised when he feels that left hand shot because mcgregor will be 100% of the time on his ass getting pounded

Haha I can't wait for Conor to connect and see those characteristic wide eyes Conor's opponents get, the fuck me that hurt face ha

I cannot wait until Conor gets into Khabib's head.

I hope he goes with the same thought in mind and he won't even see Conor's left coming. What a dumbass, lmfao

Anything is possible when there is a lot of money at stake. Having seen fixed fights in MMA I know what they look like and I don't believe Conor vs Eddie was one of them, but I guess there is always a chance.

Just by the law of averages there has been many works in UFC. I know of a few fake fights in UFC but there is probably tons more.
