Khabib claims McGregor vs Alvarez was 'fixed'

[ArtificialIntelligence]

It wasn´t a dive. Connor showed great striking skills on this fight. That said, Khabib destroys Connor again in a rematch.

What was crazy about that it was a HW fight and Melvin still came in under 200lb while Hunt came in a bit over 300. Melvin just packs so much power and Hunto walked right into that with all his weight in motion.

for sure, but it still makes no sense when you look at when Cro Cop kicked Hunt in the head multiple times in Pride. or even that one time he dropped Hunt in K-1, Hunt was full on leaning INTO the kick, being thrown by arguably one of the most powerful kickers in kickboxing history and he gets up and smiles, like what the fuck, but Melvin's punch just crumpled him like i've never seen before. even JDS had to beat the absolute fuck out of him and then finally kick him before he could KO him.

“he catch him a few times and he fall down. To me this is fake fight.”
He straight up implied Alvarez is taking a dive here, but keep up with the “much extra extra language” excuse to defend Khabib who’s been training in the US for years.

1) I'm not defending anyone, lol xD
2) It could also mean "the guy took few hits and fell down, wtf is that, you can't call that a fight", hence it's a "fake fight".
In other words, Alvarez was so poor he doesn't consider that fight to ever been fought, since Conor seemingly fought someone who can't take few hits without falling down

Ok, it was a "1 inch Bruce Lee punch" like McGregor on Poirier? Because that was surreal, never buyed that shit. We need to separate things. BARELY touched Poirier's head, COME ON my friend. I know people watch WWE and believe on that shit sometimes, but we have eyes and experience watching fights and that was definitely strange, to say at least.

you're right, it was a weird punch/knockdown, can't deny that.

he could also be implying that it wasn't a fight because Alvarez did absolutely nothing to Conor. but then again, a lot of Khabib's fights are like that so he'd in turn be saying that he never has real fights either because nobody really fights back.

Nah, actually after reading the quote in full I dont think he's accusing the fight of being "fixed" or Eddie taking a "dive"

In context, he starts off saying him vs Tony is the "real fight" then criticizes Eddie vs Conor finally calling it "fake fight" as in not a real LW title fight like Khabib vs Tony. His criticisms for why it wasnt a real LW title fight are Conor jumping the line and Eddie performing poorly.

“100 per cent I think this is real title fight,” Nurmagomedov said, speaking about this weekend’s fight with Ferguson. “I don’t care about him [McGregor], you guys know his Uncle Dana give him a gift. He jumped over all contenders and he fought for the title. 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."

You’re only focusing on the end of one sentence, combined with part of an earlier sentence. The last sentence as a whole is what is important here.

 

[GBcrazy]

Khabib is not very smart, he may very well come up with 'earth is flat' soon.

This kind of statement is not only wrong, but is bad for the whole sport. If he thinks the Eddie fight was fixed then he might think Aldo was in the fix too? And Nate? Did the ufc fix all Conor's fight except for him? Next he will say Silva vs Forrest was fixed as well.

Hopefully Ferguson makes this guy come back to earth with a big cut. He is not humble by any means.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Khabib is good at wrestling and maybe reading the Quran. Otherwise, nobody should listen to a word he says.

It's a single quote and statement, and he uses the words "fake" and "real" in the singular statement so you have to take them together in context unless you're biased (not saying you specifically but whoever). Before I read the actual quote I thought yeah Khabib probably accused the fight of being fixed out of spite but after reading it I dont see it that way at all.

Even here he calls Conor's belt "fake belt" - "real" and "fake" are just his words to say what is meaningful or not.

 

[Bill Laimbeer]

It was fixed in a sense that was the easiest possible match up for Conor ever for sure.

 

[Ackmed]

Khabib always use terms like Fake Belt, Fake Champion, Bullshit Fight, Real Fight, Real Belt etc by "fake" he doesnt mean "scripted"

 

[glavinator]

If it is Alvarez is a very good actor

And that was the best Conor we will ever see

 

[TR1]

I'm still curious.

How are there no legal ramifications for the shit the UFC pulled by sending Khabib two fake contracts (to fight for the belt).

 

[Coconutwater]

He calls it fake cuz he got ts without fighting contenders

This.

 

[Yusuke]

STFU.


I hate cucks like you who suck up to your bosses....Go be slave...Khabib is too much of a man to be a cuck like you.

Who’s that in ur avi?

 

[Cold187um]

Fixed as in fight result no ,fixed as in another 0 on Alvarez’s purse to keep it standing possibly

 

[Istryker]

It’s possible that Eddie Alvarez is the worst male champion that the ufc have had in the past 15 years

 

[Hardkore]

Khabib just doesn't recognise KO power. Or striking at all.

Sure he does. He outstruck conrad

 

[Captain Herb]

Mind to explain why?
Honest question, i never had the feeling that they were fixed, but would like to know why you think so.

I have many posts on it but the short version is that Mendes was easily cruising to a decision laying on top of McGregor doing the bare minimum, lets him up with just enough time to let Conor do some work, "gases" and just stands there with his hands down waiting for Conor to tag him and then just crumpled to the mat. MMA veteran and multi-org champ Alverez says he just forgot the game plan. He said he "forgot to 73" (wrestle) and then kept circling into McGregor's left and then also went down in a less than convincing heap. You can believe what you want but if the UFC were going to fix a fight, these two would be at the top of their list
