Khabib claims McGregor vs Alvarez was 'fixed'

[JKS]

yeah but lots of things don't make sense in MMA, like Mark Hunt being KO'd by a middleweight with a single punch when before and after that he was eating bombs from HW KO artists like it was nothing.

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.

 

[Zaar]

No, he implied it was fixed.

Did he explain and confirm that?
Asking, cause IF not...I can say "No, he didn't" and we're going nowhere xD

Dude, just read the quote in the OP, instead of jumping to his defense immediately. He explained his position.

I agree that it looked weird, but do you know how hard it is to sell a knockdown like this? Poirier aint a professional actor and seemed to have genuine hate for Conor.

Professional actor? WTF... He only felt down my friend, what difficulty would be in doing this? Even me or you could do it easily. He saw the "punch" coming and felt down, then we all know what happened... Just stopped fighting back and McGregor's hamerfirst made his head bouncing on the canvas. Do you really think this is something impossible to do, saw a punch coming and felt down? This is what Poirier did.

I wasn't defending, I just feel Khabib isn't stupid enough to say a fight was fixed, that's all.

 

[Barteh]

The people who think these fights were fixed must be the most low IQ people on the planet holy shit how can somebody be so stupid and blinded by hate.

To make it look credible you have to fall in the exact right moment. I dont know maybe i think its harder than its actually is, but If i tried that in sparring it would look ridicilous.
And what reason would poirier have to fake a finish like that?

Then your reading comprehension needs fixed, because he explained it well enough.

 

[Jean-Claude_Bloodsport]

Alvarez maybe not, but Poirier I'm certain that it was fake. A two kilometer away punch and then Dustin falls all of a sudden... It simply doesn't make any sense. Total bullshit.

Dont be an idiot please. You can watch his knuckle bink off his head, this was after Conor already rocked him.

Rocked where my friend? You don't even see the gif properly, the hand barely touches Poirier's head. GTFO.

Funny how people think their PoV is always correct.
BUt ok, thanks, have a nice day

Earlier in the fight Conor rocked him then walked him down. Zoom in you blind bat the punch clearly bounces off his head. End of discussion you look stupid but can still salvage yourself by admitting you were wrong.

some fights are definitely fixed, mate

I dont think conor vs eddie was fixed but always keep an open mind brah

 

[Craig Owens]

Ur opinion doesn’t matter cos McGregor ko’s him stiff in the rematch

Jk

If Eddie hadnt ducked Khabib, Khabib would have had 4 title defenses so far instead of 2.

 

[MacDiz]

Conor beat Eddie down. It was a masterclass. In his attempt to disparage Conor, the always classy and respectful Khabib just flat out disrespected Eddie and cast aspersions on his his integrity. Eddie's a good guy, who always gave everything he had. It's a dick move to suggest otherwise. But Khabib is the most arrogant hypocrite in the sport so I'm not surprised.

Eddie ducked the more deserving contender (Khabib) to fight Conor, so it's fair for Khabib to criticize him.

 

[Kono dio da!]

And Eddie would've gone out like a boss losing to a GOAT imo.

Eddie also stiffed khabib of an opportunity at the lightweight title at the the (then) biggest event in history. The salt is justified.

“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."

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.

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.
