Putin to Khabib: It was a worthy victory and I think it was a worthy, strong opponent this time

I've listened that part several times and I don't think Putin said "this time". Khabib did though, he said: "This time we needed such one".
 
Conor did better though.
Nah not really. Conor "won" a round where nothing happened. Conor had zero effective offense. Dustin hit Khabib harder then he has ever been hit and a great guillotine attempt.
 
Putin can't take that left hand
 
Not really. He cheated multiple times to stay in the fight and he didn’t threaten Khabib once, not even close actually.
Conor
Lasted longer
Landed more strikes
Defended more takedown
Won a round

Dustin
Landed 1 good punch
Failed a submission
 
Dustin had Khabib in more danger than Conor

Not alot of danger per se.
 
It's hard to be a worthy opponent when u face khabib. He makes them all look bad, because he is just better. There is no one that is a threat to him, even tony.
 
The word Putin used could be translated as both worthy and honorable.

If it was a slight at Conor it was more likely a reference to his poor sportsmanship rather than his quality as a fighter.
