There was absolutely nothing a Conor fan could take from last night's performance

[RandomUser12]

Kebab dominated every round, won every aspect of the fight - grappling and striking - and looked as fresh as a daisy at the end of the fight. It wasn't an emphatic display of dominance, but it was still complete dominance.

Literally the only reason Iaquinta was able to see the final bell was due to his toughness, conditioning and resiliency - qualities you'd never attribute to a frontrunner like Conor. Those first two rounds alone would've been enough to make Conor completely wilt and crumble - and if he somehow survived that onslaught, he'd be too physically and mentally drained to enjoy any success as the fight wore on.

Al Iaquinta would knock out Colin any day

I don't take much from any fight where one guy is so over-matched he's just surviving.

Al was game as hell but he was eating jabs as a damn strategy. When that becomes your best option you're having a bad night.

But but but what did Cocainor post on Twitter?

Khabib destroys Rose 9/10 times, she's got nothing for him

 

[Gilday]

People just wanna hate Khabib man, if for the 3rd and 4th he took him down and kept beating on him they would've just said he was scared to stand with Iaquinta

Hell even if he KO'ed Iaquinta standing they would've said it was a lucky shot and because he was tired from the first two rounds

This fight has me thinking Eddie and gaethje would give khabib a lot harder time than I originally thought. Not sure they beat him but they would be very interesting fights

Add Tony to that lost and i agree 100 percent. im pretty intrigued with a few fights with Khabib now

Khabib fought with the urgency of a porn star who has just shot his load.

That was Khabib in 1st gear and he still had two 10-8 rounds. It was as if he didn't want to hurt Iaquinta as a way of thanking him for taking the fight.

Compare that performance to his last 2. Chalk and cheese.

Oh I agree. I thought the tony fight was a coin flip despite the odds

 

[Frode Falch]

Dont think conor win.

But that fight told me what i already was sure about. Tony ferguson will be Khabibs kryptonite

 

[Sinthesized]

Khabib had 4 opponent changes in a matter of days, came in and dominated a tough skilled boxer / wrestler in Iaquinta, and made it look easy.

Khabib never got hit flush with anything, was never in any trouble, and controlled the fight from bell to bell. The only thing you can take away from this fight is: who / what can stop Khabib?

People want to hate Khabib?!? And you're on Sherdog? It's a race to see who can suck him off the quickest around here, you must be delusional. There's speculation that he outwrestles DC and Ruth in practice and can beat GSP or Askren. This place has made him into a diety for fucks sake - get out of here with the under appreciated Khabib narrative.

Lol just look at the forum right now dude, people are shitting on him for an unimpressive performance where he won 50-43

You underestimate the amount of McRetards and mma hipsters that hate new champions/challengers on Sherdog. If it’s not even it’s damn close.
