Michael Johnson is a tougher match up for Khabib than Poirier

[michi972]

Is it retarded to think MJ is the better boxer?

Was?His best days are gone and Dustin has improved

Johnson did pretty well on the feet vs Khabib..

no wonder people fall in love with their power. i could barely swing a bat as hard as he can punch. the speed too jebus. to bad he was throwing haymaykers. just that little bit of speed taken away from his punches is all the difference against someone with good defense. when mj fights polished he does very well.

rumble johnson is the same. pieces up phil davis showing great resolve, cardio, and IQ because he respected phil. then against dc he gos berserk and gases. blows my mind. he was lighting dc up during every single exchange and got over zealous. when really hes big enough to hold dc at bay and batter him with strikes. one of the few times iv understood a coach being visibly frustrated with their fighter

You're not wrong... Poirier couldn't last a round; has a lower TDD percentage against worse wrestlers; MJ is much faster and less predictable.

Mj and Conor only people to rock khabib

In his last 3 fights Dustin has outboxed Alvarez, Max Holloway and Justin Gaethje.

Meanwhile Johnsons lost 6 of his last 9 and the last man he managed to beat was Artem Lobov.

Few things are overrated as that punch that MJ landed on Khabib.

Michael Johnson got finished faster by Darren Elkins than he did by Khabib, lets do MMA math

MJ has better hands, faster, and probably hits just as hard..
Dustin may be more well rounded but that doesn't mean anything because they both won't stop Khabib's wrestling and they would never catch him in a sub

Poirier is way better than Johnson in exploiting people's guard and creating an openings, which is the thing nobody ever figured out vs. Khabib. Khabib won't lose to someone who can defend his takedowns because that's the one way road, but rather to someone who's good enough to box him up. Once Poirier starts digging that body and feinting a shoulder/jab, hook will come over the top and end the fucking night.

Conor didn't rock shit, Khabib walked through those hits and laughed at him.
Edson nearly rocked him with a glancing head kick though

Michael Johnson does not have better hands than Poirier

Yea, I know what happened when they fought

Michael Johnson still can’t box

 

[Lawblaw]

Watch the MJ fight again and we’ll touch base on Saturday

You there?

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

You there?

Lol, don’t even come at me with this. Dustin rocked Khabib and threatened him with a sub. That’s more than MJ did without a doubt

Just the sub but it wasn't that tight
Was still a similar beat down

Nah man, Khabib was never even close to being in danger vs Michael, and stood up and boxed him to show he could. It was obvious vs Dustin if they stayed standing how it would go, but Khabib obviously adjuster and dominated. Even still, Dustin threatened him on the ground. MJ just curled up in a ball for 15 minutes
