Oliveira going to Abu Dhabi late

[Conan the K-9]

That's nice.

Refusing to watch the fight is going to burn him and Islam is going to destroy him worse than the first time.

When it happens, think back to this and then maybe think about how wrong you are, okay?

You can come back when you want to, but I really don’t see what was something, what you or someone else are able to prove wrong in what I said?

 

[French Canadian]

stubborn guy

Refuses to even watch the first match too

Still calls himself Champion.

He's fought there before. He knows what it's like. Nothing to see here.

Idk how true. But I've heard that the Saudis cover the UFC expenses when they book the shows over there. As well usually having a sold out crowd and plenty of rich ppl to throw more money around. They definitely became a Hotspot once Muslim fighters like Khabib and Islam became prominent

 

[Dirty Frank]

Why does he have to fight over there all the time. Seems unfair.

Why is it unfair?

 

[Selenodesy17]

Why is it unfair?

Just that he never got to defend the belt in Brazil

 

[Dirty Frank]

Just that he never got to defend the belt in Brazil

Did Khabib have the chance to defend his belt in Russia? Or Islam?
Didn't Islam defend in enemy territory?
Has Shevchenko or even Nunes (and I'm sure I'm missing a whole lot more) defended in their home turfs?

Accuracy does still mean something.

1) Abu Dhabi is not in Saudi Arabia.
2) Zuffa sold a 10% stake of UFC to the UAE (specifically, a UAE funded company or agency called 'Flash Entertainment') in 2010.
3) The first UFC event in UAE was UFC 112.

So they were deep into a partnership with the UFC well before Khabib, but yes, COVId and Fight Island definitely took it to a new level.

I already explained why I brought up Khabib’s opinion, for some reason you decided to ignore my explanation.

I quoted it, so I definitely didn't ignore it. you explaining why you value khabib's opinion so much doesn't change my criticism -- it actually reinforces it. You value khabib's opinion too much and have raised him up to an authority figure on this subject, then dismiss or think less of the opinions that don't coincide with khabib's opinion, constantly comparing everything back to khabib's opinion, as if khabib's opinion is the standard by which all else must be compared. All of that is fine, except you made a thread asking for opinions from others, when really it seems like you have the opinion you like (khabib's), and just want argue that khabib's opinion is correct.

 

[fortheo]

What homesick? He's bringing with him like a half of his hometown last time, lol.

Which should have been a sign pointing to how worried of feeling homesick he was. I don't understand what you're arguing here. You think homesickness doesn't exist or something?

The fight will prove everything my guy. Don't back out now after doubling down before.

 

[azerty]

Maybe he’s wrong, but those that disagree with him have no basis for their disagreement, it should be self evident that Khabib is more credible than your average sherdogger.

more credible than your average sherdogger? yes! more credible than oliveira and his team when it come to oliveira's preparations for a fight? i'd say no

 

[linvillegorge]

I trust that he knows what he's doing. Not exactly his first rodeo.

Acclimate to what? It’s indoor at sea level.

With heat and humiduty that can gas you faster than in high altitude. Believe me, breathing on a hot, humid enviroment is like breathing fresh steam: it burns when you inhale, it buns when you exhale.
