Khabib claims McGregor vs Alvarez was 'fixed'

I didn't care for the Mcgregor vs Alvarez fight either but I didn't think it was fixed. I honestly thought Eddie just kind of mentally broke from all the pressure when he walked out and heard more people cheering for Conor than him and just the magnitude of the event. That being said, a lot of people also thought Chael vs Tito was fixed. I didn't think that was fixed either, just a crap fight. However, I've suspected other fights in the UFC of not being fixed, but kind of (borderline) scripted in a way that didn't affect the outcome.
 
He cannot say that the "fight was fixed"
He could get banned from the UFC saying that.

That's a statement that could hurt their brand, badly.

I'm not the only one who had questions about that fight. I even made a topic about it and it got deleted for expressing my opinion.

We'll see how he handles 'being caught a few times'. He'll go down faster than Eddie.

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

This.

If he ever finds himself worthy to be graced by the presence of Conor the Wise, he will find himself back in the USSR via a time-travel spell from dat left hand shot.
 
Haha Khabib is all "i dont talk trash, what is trash talk" in Ariel interview but he's one of the biggest trash talkers around. I love it.

Sounds more like a language barrier thing, where he means he doesn't understand how Conor got the title shot to begin with. Making Conor's belt less credible in Khabib's eyes.

In the follow-up he literally said it was fixed.

No he didn't.

“I was supposed to fight [for the title] at UFC 205. I know before I don’t fight for the title because I make mistakes, I have injuries, I have surgeries, but 205 I was supposed to fight for the title and they give him, his Uncle Dana give him [a] gift and he jumps all the contenders.

“I have to fight Tony Ferguson before I get this fight. People know because it was good for business and it was a money fight, this is why we get this fight. But, people want to know who is the real fighter, who is the top-level fighter. They don’t talk about different weight classes or who is the money fight.”
 
You really dont get he is trying to set up the Connor fight next ? Really ? You cant understand why he would say that to promote his own fight and a future fight with Connor ? Why are you tards acting like he means it

Smh
 
Khabib has never faced a striker like McGregor. Even Nate Diaz the iron chin, got knockdown 3 times, how often do you see that?
 
Guarantee Khabib will get hit a couple times and go down just like Alvarez. Then we can see if he wants to talk about fixed fights and real titles.

That's if he even gets past ferg. Which I doubt

Nah.

Alvarez has always had porous striking defense and his chin isn't great. RDA was tooling him until that big shot he landed.

McGregor's fast starting ability + crisp striking + size + power = bad scenario for Eddie
 
Ferguson would have beat the shit out of Eddie Alvarez and Khabib would have grappled the shit out of him so Conor knocking out Eddie is nothing special he's like a bum version of Chad Mendes. Conor skipped all the legit contenders and got a gimme fight to get the lightweight belt. It wasn't fake but it was still bullshit

{<huh}{<huh}{<huh}{<huh}{<huh}

Khabib confused about how being punched by a guy with KO power works.

Yuuup

And it has happened to nearly all his (Conor's) opponents.

Kabob will get smoked if he fights Conor with that attitude
 
You would think fighters would learn from other fighters mistakes and stop dismissing McGregor's skills every single fucking time he fights.
