This is Silva vs DC 2.0

[Sapp]

So many similarities.

Can only hope that Khabib is as gentle as DC was.

I'll be rooting for Max this time though.

Please just submitted him early Khalabib

Silva was a shell of his own self, max is in his swaggering prime.

The big difference is this is a 5 rounder and Max has cardio where Khabib doesn't.

Bisping vs Rockhold 2.0???

Will he though? No camp, and didn't he have a pretty bad injury until recently? Where is his conditioning at?

But Silva and Max are primarily strikers who have weaknesses against heavy wrestlers. Khabib is one of, if not the, heaviest wrestler in MMA.

Agreed. Those fights have nothing in common despite the fact that they're both on short notice.

BTW Legit LOL at your avatar.

When i see DC vs Silva, DC looks like he will kill silva with his size.
Maybe my mind is warped from porn. I have to see max's frame vs Khabibs frame.

Hopefully it's more eventful than that fight.

Very true, hope he's in good shape... he has been looking a lil thick last I saw

 

[Post 2 Decision]

I mean, for one, Silva went up 20 pounds and Max is only going up 10.

Khabib will maul anyone though so doesn't matter. Max needs to hit him as hard as he can before he gets put on his back

Where does this myth that Khabib doesn't have cardio come from?

Just because he's had weight complications doesn't mean he has no cardio, with his type of grueling training ( AKA and Dagestani ) and wrestling pressure, his cardio is probably one of the best and may even be better than Maxes ( due to lack of camp ) come fight night.

P.S. Khabib supposedly spared 25 minutes with new partners switching in every couple of minutes this camp.

Holloway hasn't been taken down in three and a half years. He stuffed half a dozen TD attempts from Lamas.

Does that mean that he can fend off Khabib? Probably not, but the idea that he still has bad TD defense is ridiculous.

No one really has tried. McGregor took him down at will. I'm not saying his TDD sucks but I'm being realistic, it's not the best attribute he has. I'm a huge Holloway
fan, but I'm worried for him here.

I doubt Khabib will be as gentle. He isn't fighting a 40-year old former champ who had a gruesome leg injury not long ago. But he may be able to take and keep Max down as easily as Cormier did to Anderson.

 

[Workaholic]

Unlikely Max spends the whole fight stalling with a lockdown like Anderson did though

Not that I blame the guy... fighting DC on a couple days notice he just played it smart

But Max is more of a "fuck it" kind of guy

it is what it is

Oh shit didn't see this thread , Just made the exact same thread just worded differently. Great minds think alike lmao.
