Media New Ali Abdelaziz interview with cliffs. Khabib only wants GSP.

[JustBleed69]

I guarantee you that GSP is a much much much greater challenge for Khabib than Oliveira, even at 40 years old.

Ah the wishful thinking of someone living in the past

 

[moogie101]

Blah blah blah same old shit.

Unless the gsp fight is at 170, or khabib comes back to fight at 170 to get a title in a second weight class I'm not interested in him returning and hope the stays retired.

We all know he does the same to Conor in a rematch, there's no-one at 155 to bother him ( and don't try and convince me that da bronx, the latest sherdog hype train is any kind of threat to khabib) and there's no way gsp could be anywhere near full strength at 155.

But khabib vs Usman would be great.

Ali's real name is Robert

What does Oliveira has for Khabib exactly?

Doesn’t Khabib want to get to 30-0??! I think this is all hype asking for GSP.

Trust me, he doesn’t want anything to do with the goat GSP.

I did hear somewhere that Khabib wanted GSP at 155 though, any facts to that? I don’t see Khabib taking that big of a risk at 170. GSP won’t cut weight down to 155, especially after that stomach thing he went through.

 

[Deleted member 547767]

Well his obsession with GSP clearly shows who he consideres to be the GOAT. I think he should fight Usman. Or are they bathtub buddies? They can hump, stump, squeeze and hug it out in the octagon.

What does Oliveira has for Khabib exactly?

Size + striking and elite jiu jitsu, especially from his back.
I'm not saying I would favor him, but he's on a hot streak and in his prime, whereas GSP is old and innactive.

 

[zippo88]

Khabib isn’t excited about fighting Conor again but Ali would be very excited to cash in once again.

p.s. i just don’t see how Dana White can agree for Khabib vs GSP. It’s absolutely pointless fight. Both will retire afterwards. Speaking about money, Khabib vs McGregor 2 will make more for the UFC than Khabib vs GSP.

As much as Khabib is about "honor over money" I do think people like that can change and if they are starting some business venture or charity they feel is very honorable they might start thinking along the lines of "If I can generate X million to my honorable cause just from a single fight - should I really let my own pride get in the way of that?"

That being said I do think it's silly to talk of a Conor rematch as if it's deserved.
Khabib finished the 1st fight without any controversy - what more could he have done?
If he would've finished him early I'm sure people would've asked for a rematch just cause the first fight was too short. If he would've mauled him for 5 rounds people would be asking for a rematch cause he didn't finish the fight.

The fact that he dominated and people still ask for a 2nd fight - doesn't that just show that pretty much no matter what happens in a 2nd fight, people would be asking for a 3rd?

He doesn't have size on Khabib. And his BJJ might be great and flashy but its not on Khabib's level. GSP is on a hot streak as well, probably the hottest streak of all time.

 

[RoyJonesJr]

This is the only fight I want to see

Its a legacy fight to see whos the GOAT

Even with GSP at 40, the fight is going to break records and be tough for both

He has a 4 inch reach on Khabib and in general has a larger frame. GSP is not on a streak. To be on a streak you have to be an active fighter.
GSP is a 40 year old man who has fought twice in 8 years, and in one of those barely made it by the skin of his teeth.

Reach doesnt equal size. If Oliveira was that good he wouldn't need nearly 40 pro fight to earn a title shot.
