People need to relax about this fight

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Khabib had no time to prep for Al who is VASTLY different from Tony and Max. Despite that he still won every round handily. This was not a typical Khabib level performance but you cannot put weight into this fight. The circumstances for this were insane.

Run this fight back. Give both full prep time I guarantee Khabib dominates even more.

Khabib's camp will work on his defense and keep sharpening his striking. He'll come back better and with no changes in opponents, we will see Khabib dominate in his usual fashion.

Khabib with better striking? This should not be allowed

 

[bolly32]

He was in a lose-lose situation.

Don't absolutely destroy Iaquinta = Khabib is a bum. (still won 50-43)

Lose to Iaquinta = Khabib is a bum.

Wonder why he still won every round on the feet then.

Maybe your grams should challenge Al see how that goes for her.

He won every round maybe, just maybe because Al was afraid of the takedowns? Just thinking outside the box here..

Guess what dude? It's MMA TD threat is part of the game. If Khabib striking was so trash Al should have capitalized. But he got out struck every single round. So shut the fuck up.

But McGregor's nutgobblers won't agree that he looked like a fly covered pile of monkey crap against Mendes UNTIL the last couple minutes...but Khabib DOMINATES a last minute replacement and it's a totally different story. Those clowns are amazing.

Who said anything about TD not being part of MMA you uneducated monkey? I commented on his striking...the fact that his TD threat negates the opponent's striking does not mean that his striking is good. Are you getting that or do you want me to draw a picture so you can understand it?

The only holes i saw from Khabib was his gas tank, compare his relentless vs Barbosa in a 3rounder vs tonight, he took rounds 3-4 off to conserve energy. Khabib will never be a good striker & is not how he will ever win his fights, Khabib vs Ferguson in a 3rounder favors Khabib by a lot but in a 5round fight, it's anybodys fight, Mcgregor has gas tank issues himself & therefore has close to a 0% chance of winning.

But guess what? Khabib still out struck him every single round. Even when he clearly wasn't focused on TDs. In 2 rounds of nothing but standing he out stuck Al. TD threat or not if Khabib's striking sucks Al should have been able to do more than what he did.

You don't get it do you?! He outstrucked him because Al had to adjust his fighting stance to lessen khabib's TD threat. That does not mean that khabib's striking is good.

But it does mean that Khabib had out struck Al and everyone else he has fought.
