Khabib was dominant

[MMASpeculator]

Khabib wins the fight 50-44, 50-43, 50-43 and I come on here to see a bunch kids saying he's been exposed and will now lose to Conor, Tony and Max.

However, just after Barboza, Khabib was the guy nobody can beat. Lol? He's still that guy, but the difference is he's able to adjust to his fighters. Al Iaquinta is really good and I think Khabib felt the difficulty in the takedowns so why rush it? He obviously can take him down at will, but he'd be predictable and he would have to expend a lot of energy. He was winning the standup and he was busting Al up so why exactly does he have to go for takedowns?

Do you guys realize Conor was controlled on the ground by Mendes? Do you guys realize Conor isn't a 1-punch knockout artist like people like to hype up? He's an accurate striker who TKOs people after he wobbles them. Iaquinta is a stronger puncher. Khabib would find a way on the inside and easily take Conor down and smash him.

Ferguson is the much more difficult fight for Khabib. His cardio will be a big factor in the later rounds.

Idk about that. Based off of what I saw, if that was Alvarez tonight khabib would have lost. Eddie is a better wrestler and better boxer than ianquinta and is tenacious. It was a good performance but I really think this fight might have exposed him: high chin, can't land as many takedowns etc

The thing is also it was Khabibs first 5 rounder. He was sparing his energy then at the end of 5th round he went full beast mode; crushed Al standing, took him down and pounded on him looking for the finish via RNC. Khabib is legit as fuck.

People are commenting on his high chin now because Rogan was so focused on it but Khabib has been doing that his whole career. Has anyone been able to test it yet? He literally moves his head high up as he walks away every single fight. It's not just this one.

I think the takedowns weren't his focus after the first round. He was winning on the feet. Why waste energy?

Well his takedown percent was only like half, and al stuffed like 4 in a row at one point, a better wrestler could stop even more. Also I know khabib has always held his head high. Him and tony both do that which is why I am worried about them vs mcgregor.
