Khabib is pretty Overrated atm

[CrazyN8]

I dunno man, he bullied Conor, tapped him then still had the energy to fly outta the cage and attack his crew. Thats not someone id ever bet against.

Ah the good ol' tactical thread bump

Lol at Kevin Lee being superior to Khabib

 

[RichardHarrow]

Lol @ Kevin Lee

 

[MescalineDreams]

Agree about Kevin and Ferg giving him real problems, but kebab is a stylistic mismatch for conrad. Kebab beats him probably 9/10 times

Maybe, I wouldn't necessarily sleep on him just yet. Conor was able to stuff him both throughout the 3rd and In the beginning of the 4th. Nullified him on the ground In the first. I think the thing about Khabib Is that he's not a finisher, or at least not someone who's likely to finish you until later on In the fight. For that reason, there will be many opportunities to land a significant blow that could change the direction of the fight. Conor's boxing looked pretty mediocre to me, his timing and reflexes on the feet didn't seem like It was there. Obviously you gotta factor In the level of his opponent and the threat of the takedown.

There's still a few questions surrounding where he stands, does he have the same fire he did prior to the Mayweather fight and 100 mil payday, did the layoff effect him. For myself and others I think he seemed a bit off relative to his usual self. Even his confidence just seemed very forced. Was that just Khabib or were there other factors at play. Who knows, maybe that was the best version of Conor we've ever seen..maybe It wasn't. You could very well be right but I'm hesitant to say anything to say anything with confidence until his next fight.

Can Khabib move up in weight and beat that Champion?

Lol @ Kevin Lee

he's underrated at this point.. lol

I don't think one fight changes his trajectory very much. Especially when a clear argument can be made for him winning the first 3 rounds. His skill, talent and potential aren't the problem but his cardio at 155 and how he manages energy, especially throughout a 5 round fight. I think him wasting so much energy on Al's back going for a submission was very costly In the long run. Looked like he burned himself out from those attempts In the 2nd and 3rd. May have very well been what cost him the fight.

All In all, I don't think too much has changed. Kevin Lee Is still 26 years old and at the top of the division. likely still has the highest ceiling In the division.

thatd be Khabib if he cut down to 145 as well.

They're pretty much the same size, Conor Is probably even a little bigger.

But he moved up. He also beat the chamion.

He also never missed weight or was hospitalized at 145.

So.....huh?

Also to name yourself Tap machine just tells me your way too invested in these 2 fighters. Theres a whole world of MMA.

Khabib seizures into 155. WTF are you talking about? He's never making 145.

He didn't move up, he was fighting below the weightclass he "should have been fighting at". You know, the same thing slimy double standard practicing Conor nutsack gobblers like you accuse Khabib of doing.

 

[TapMachine]

He made weight 3 times in a row after having recruited a proper nutritionist, which shows that his previous weight cutting problems never stemmed from him being too big, but rather approaching the cut improperly. The "seizure" comment also shows that you're a dumbfuck regurgitating sourceless nonsense spouted by other retards who know nothing of Khabib's language as has been noticed by Russian speaking Khabib fans.

FFS...tell me an event at 145 Conor missed weight. Tell me when he was hospitalized trying to make weight?

Conor moved up to the weight class "He should be fighting at" yet Khabib cuts into a seizure and thats his true weight class?

Back to the question. Can Khabib move up and beat the champ there? Will he even have the balls to do it?

The answer to both questions is no. And you know Thats true. He is too afraid of a loss.

Even if Wonderboy was champ he'd get smoked.

 

[MescalineDreams]

Kevin's problem is mainly fight IQ more than anything else. He was winning the grappling exchanges, he stupidly tried to strike with Al and that drained his gas tank more than the actual wrestling/grappling

I think when he had his back In the 2nd and 3rd are what drained him more than the striking. iirc he had the body triangle both times?That shit is taxing.

AKA is a great team but It seems like their overall nutrition game is trash.. lol

I bet u Cain could make MW if he just got his body fat % down real low

Khabib doesn't need to move anywhere, because unlike Canor, he is the reigning champ who actually defends his belt.

FFS...tell me an event at 145 Conor missed weight. Tell me when he was hospitalized trying to make weight?

So, in other words, it's OK to cut massive amounts of weight as long as you're not missing weight, right? In other words, according to your logic, it's OK for Khabib to stay at LW, because he has fixed his dieting regimen and has made weight 3 times in a row with no problems (regardless of what retards like you who regurgitate sourceless nonsense say). Why the double standards then? Why would you accuse Khabib of doing precisely the same thing Conor was doing? Oh, I forgot, you're a double standard practicing slimy sack of excrement, that's why.

With the best diet Khabib is not making 145.

 

[MescalineDreams]

Yeah but that's almost entirely because his diet was shit. His cuts should never be that hard. He said he walks around at like 190, what that means is that he's a guy who gets a bit fat outside of fight camp. It was purely lack of professionalism In his preparation.

When he approaches his cuts Intelligently, diet on point and all of that..I guarantee his cut isn't that difficult. I think even he said he could make 145 pounds if he really wanted to, this was after the tiramisu incident and getting with a proper nutritionist.

If you compare him and Conor In the cage, they're basicaly the same size. To me, Conor actually looks to be a little bigger.

The question was Can he move up a division and win a title like Conor did.

Lol "Tap Machine". Might as well call yourself Khabibs side bitch.

But Conor is not making 145 now. Conor was much smaller when he was making 145. No way on earth Khabib makes 145. He just does not have the body type for that.

 

[MescalineDreams]

If Conor could, Khabib could as well. It'd be tough but he could make It. I think Conor cut from like 170 pounds to make FW. Khabib is somewhere between 170-175 In the cage at LW at least In his last fight.. Even then he's not shredded or anything. He could def make it.
