Khabib is kinda Matt Hughes 2.0

[Kvolcom]

I've been watching a lot of tape.....I see how he is effective, but I also see how he can be beat. And if he ever loses his chin he's in trouble.

Usually only takes one KO to ruin your chin. I think Tony, Kevin Lee, Porier...maybe even Eddie all give him trouble.


I'm leaning towards Conor. The irish guy is tough, he'll survive f Khabib takes him down. Depending on how good Khabib's chin is, it's a KO or decision win for Conor

All it takes is footwork and cardio for Conor w his skill set. He fights like he did in Diaz 2, he can win a decision.

At least there are no trains in dagestan.

That running away shit isn't going to work against Khabib, he won't stand and point. He will dive on your ass and smash.

?? Shitpost.

Matt Hughes almost got killed by a train

That's the joke

Wrestlers with great GnP never go out of fashion. Some are good, some are better, not many are on Khabib's level.

Connor is arguably the best boxer in the UFC. But as the saying goes, a boxer in the ring is like a lion, king of the jungle, but put it in a shark tank and it becomes just another meal.

Hughes was a finisher

Khabib, well not so much

Nope.

Matt Hughes was at least entertaining.

He's finished 4/10 fights in the UFC. Pretty good, TBF. Would be good if he took more risks going for subs though.

 

[Fedorer13]

Matt Hughes was a better fighter than Khabib, TS. You should keep watching “a lot of tape”, or whatever it was. Fucking noobs.

 

[Dankoz]

More likely Ronda Rousey 2.0.

Really? That's cool! Can you or anybody else post that interview?

 

[Dankoz]

Saltiness will reach new levels after Conor does same for Khabib what Holly did to Ronda.

4/10 finishes against the calibre of opposition he has fought is not 'pretty good' lol!
There's not a great deal of negatives to pull up on this dude but his finish rate is defo one of them.

I agree with this. In fact that's what I thought during 217, the one where Thompson won a wide decision via his striking, Rose left hooked the fuck out of Joanna, TJ ko'd Cody and GSP beat Bisping. GSP won by sub but he basically knocked him out before the sub from memory.

Was the first PPV I remembered where boxing seemed to win all of the main fights, and I wouldn't say they all had elite boxing skills. You can just imagine what a Lomachenko could do in the cage with some grappling defence.
