Props to Khalil

[Thesnake101]

Like many others I thought this was a waste of time for Alex, that he was taking on an undeserving challenger and would simply get a quick KO before moving onto better things, but Khalil showed up in the best form he could've, with a solid gameplan and stood with Alex for as long as possible. Had a lot of success and big moments early, and kept trading until his body couldn't take it anymore. He can hold his head high despite the loss, it was a great performance.

 

[Blastbeat]

Agreed, props to him

Yeah that was a great showing and an incredible show of heart

MMA is at it’s best when fighters don’t resort to feminine styles of fighting like wrestling and bjj.

 

[TheBulge]

He is in phenomenal shape. Those abs were sharp.

Mad Respect


Khalil made a fan out of me tonight.

Looking forward to supporting him in his next fight.

 

[Bret 'The Hitman' Hart]

He made many new fans tonight. What a legend!

That isn't an easy fight if Hill comes in well. He has good kicks and punches over the top

 

[Iconoclast]

He wasn't the "sacrificial lamb" everyone thought he would be. He showed a lot and I think his stock rose tonight.

Meh, his corner should have thrown in the towel before the 12 heavy strikes leading to him folding over

 

[tritestill]

Khalil problems have always been mental, never physical and he showed fortitude tonight.

 

[The Blue Bird]

Khalil has the heart of a warrior spawned and raised in southern killa California

 

[DiazSlap]

I agree some what but Alex was literally toying with him and throwing flashy kicks at first till Glover told him to cut that shiz out…lol

 

[kkthx]

thank you alex and khalil for saving this dogshit card

Keep your fugazi area code gang bangin out of this you fool

 

[JoeRowe]

Repeat post from the PBP, but:

Khalil's stock goes up more from losing to Poatan than Bautista's from "beating" Aldo.

This sport isn't about gaming the system. It's about taking advantage of big-stage opportunities.

I can see your point but Khalil did drop him. He was a threat for a couple rounds at least.

 

[The Siege]

He is still undeserving in terms of accomplishments, but he made the most of it and showed he is better than his ranking suggests.

Loved his toughness and his willingness to walk into the fire. Wont miss any of his future fights.
