Michael Johnson Will Knock Out Khabib

[Glumberjack]

Definitely giving Johnson a good shot in this one. People are really hyping Khabib up a lot around here but the Dos Anjos win was quite a while ago and the only fight he's had since was against an unranked part-timer. Johnson is arguably his toughest test to date.

I hope Johnson KO's him. I see Khabib grinding him out tho

You sound like a boxer from the 80s.

"Hand speed/punching power/striking technique = TDD"

OP was way too confident in his prediction, but lets not act like this wasn't a possibility.

Johnson rocked Khabib in the first round. A better striker could do worse.

It's always a 'possibility' when someone like Johnson swings.

So what though?

Doesn't change the fact that once Khabib had settled in, found the distance, Michael had nothing whatsoever.

heh

hahaha not even close. He may have even less of a chance than Conor does against Eddie.

ouch.

I liked this fight because I think I saw Khabib's chin hold up pretty nicely against 2-3 really big, clean shots.

Well he cuts forty pounds so that's nothing special. Also that doesn't mean he can't be knocked out.

I got Johnson in this one too. Khabib is good but he's not as great as people think. Let's keep pretending the Tibau fight never happened.

Every fighter has at least 1 bad fight. Using the Tibau fight was not a good example. You should always look at more recent performances to see how a fighter will do. I didnt think MJs ground game had improved enough so i picked Khabib to ragdoll him like the Abel Trujillo fight.

People also forget that before USADA, Tibau was roided to the gills and he still lost to Khabib.

Not only that, but Tibau's takedown defense rate was 92% at the time, the highest of any MMA fighter.

 

[Bagatur]

all Conor fans and Khabib haters sucking each other off were exposed ITT lol

 

[HHJ]

Tibau did it.

I want a divorce.

MJ is gonna knock out Khabib in spectacular fashion.

I said the same thing. I was wrong I admit it. I still think MJ let him off the hook in the first round, but credit to Khabib. He's a beast.
