So I just rewatched Khabib vs McGregor...

[Death By Samson]

I will ask @bigwaverider to put a nice buddy in a thong on that eagle.
A nice buddy always make bad male eye sight goes miraculously better somehow.

I hope that you were just auto corrected in that post.

 

[in the liver]

whatever conor appeared to do in the fight is negated by the fact that he was playing with the cheat mode on and still found a way to lose

 

[Mangar]

I wonder how many times you have to watch it before McGregor wins the fight.

 

[Oooxente]

I hope that you were just auto corrected in that post.

Hey you are my booty !

If Serra was able to do this to GSP in him prime just imagine what Khabib will do to him

hardly GSP's prime, if anything id say losing that made him take it too another level, ie his prime

 

[Phisher]

It still bothers me how people acted like Khabib was a superior striker to Conor.

He obviously couldn't implement his striking nearly so well with the obvious threat of Khabib's take downs!

Nobody thinks that he's a better striker. People were (rightfully) impressed that he was able to hold his own against Conor standing.

After the Iaquinta fight, the conventional wisdom was that Khabib would get KO'd immediately if he tried to stand with Conor for an extended period of time.

I honestly believe Herb was told by Dana (or someone) to not acknowledge Mcgregors cheating if he was getting outclassed. Herb is a very inconsistent ref, but there were so many fouls that I have no other way of explaining why he never did anything, he was looking directly at them while Mcgregor kept on constantly doing illegal shit.

I don't think that anybody had to tell Herb anything. He was clearly either consciously or subconsciously afraid of calling fouls on the biggest name in the sport.

Oh lol. Yeah seen this gif a million times. I mean cool of Khabib to setup his overhand like that of course but you gotta be trolling to say he's a superior striker.

He landed the more effective strikes in the standup. What other criteria are you looking at?

Or are you talking a different sport than MMA, like kickboxing?

 

[TAK47]

Its e very well known FACT that Connie fought on one foot ,4 ACLs injuries and a terrorist threat.

Next time Khabb is fooked.

Rematch Connie is indefensible!!!
Edit!
Reliable sources say Connie had a broken orbital too!!
Maybe a cracked skull even!!

What a warrior!!!

Conor NEVER backs down, even when every single bone in his body is broken, like it was in the Mendes, Nate and Khabib fights!

Conor is the hero MMA deserves and a role / rape model for every man.

I know virtually nothing about boxing. What the heck is "Russian boxing"?

Boxing has different styles. I myself am not an expert so I couldn't go too much detail, but American, Cuban, Mexican, English, Russian. A lot of these countries developed a unique approach to boxing. Don't take my word for it, but "Russian Style" boxing is a forward pressure type boxer who relies heavily on his jab and straight right. The guard is usually high, sticking to the basics, not much flash. It's a very orthodox way of fighting and very effective. Golovkin and Kovalev are good examples of that style.

B-but then why do people call it "awkward" if it's orthodox?

I heard he suffered heart attack, stroke and kidney failure just before he walked to the octagon. He also didn't sleep the last 3 nights before the fight, had a horrible diarrhea and high fever...

The threat of the takedown changes everything about the striking game.

 

[Hookhooks]

Conor cheated enough to warrant a point deduction. His third round was decent. First and second rounds he looked a bit out of sorts. Kebab let his emotions dictate his damage, so his barrages were sloppy and Mcg blocked much of it. However, this ferocity sapped much of Conor's will and he was tired just from defending. A rematch where kebab is relaxed is potentially worse for McGregor

 

[Number 8]

Not gonna read your post but I guess you wanna say Conor was winning until he lost, yes?

 

[true_fan]

They were at least.

And posting this gif:

If they had a straight up kickbox or boxing match who do you see winning?

Khabib will still win via stamina

 

[true_fan]

People just want to hate on one fighter or the other. I had a $5 bet that night against a friend that was a Conor Fan (i bet he is on this forum but wont admit it lol) But yeah, anyone that wasn't blinded by Conors fame, knew he was going to lose. He lasted longer then i expected, but i didn;t expect Kalabeeb to drop him with a punch, that was shocking.

Without that cheating knee round 2 would’ve been it

 

[true_fan]

It was one of the most satisfying fight ever. Years in the making and Conor fans discrediting Khabib. It was all worth it in the end.

I loved how delusional his fans were thinking one left hook all it took and refused to acknowledge that his chin is iron!! With all his cheating he got destroyed
