Khabib never lost a round?

[Seismic]

Really? He didn't lose even one of these 3? Please... Imagine Conor getting a win like this? The cries of "fix" would be deafening.

Khabib won the fight, all Gleison did was defend

It’s true... that “accolade” is a sham.

Only one man never lost a round. And his name's not Khabib

You don't win for just defending, see Woodley Till.

Did you think Till was winning when he was just defending Woodleys takedowns against the fence?

Chael has a video about this for people who don't understand this part of mma wrestling.

He didn't lose a round on any judges card.....

Yeah, how many threads have there been on Conor’s supposed poor take down defence and grappling though? All based on his performances against Chad Mendes and Nate Diaz. In the Chad fight he had a partially torn ACL and his wrestling coach said they couldn’t even train much wrestling because his knee kept popping out during practice. He literally had to consciously choose when he could sprawl and when he had to give up the takedown based on how stable his knee felt in the moment. Not to mention he didn’t even know he was fighting a wrestler until 2 weeks out when Aldo pulled. Then the Nate fight you have a guy who was fighting at 170 for the first time when all his previous UFC fights were all at 145. He gassed and it’s understandable why. It’s unfair to judge Khabib based on a old fight against a juiced up Tibau but also unfair to judge Conor’s grappling on fights 2-3 years ago under those unusual circumstances.

Octagon control, it is a fucking criteria to win when there is barely any activity in the standup or on the ground. Read the rules before posting shit threads. The entire fight Khabib was putting him up against the cage and Taibu was defending. And he defended well but that is NOT the criteria to win. There were barely any significant strikes in the entire fight and like a td by Taibu which was barely a td as far as I can remember and Khabib stood up instantly from what I remember. All there was in that fight was Khabib pushing the pace and gaining octagon control while Taibu defending. Correct decision with close rounds.

Wtf TS mean when post something like "Imagine Conor getting a win like this?". What this imagine is? Conor already have second fight with Nate.

Gleison won the second round easily. Tagged khabib good a few times and got khabib down for a sec. Ironically the hardest punch landed on khabib was a counter left.
