Conor is going to fight on January 23. Dustin better get it together he’s going to lose it. Could be Justin or could be Tony.
It's not the simple fact that Gaethje got submitted by Khabib, that's Sherdog level thinking right there. It's how he was a fish out of the water with no defense on the ground for anything that was so startling. Nobody shat on Poirier for getting submitted by Khabib, because he didn't look like a white belt on the ground. Whereas Conor has underrated BJJ and didn't make it too easy for Khabib.
Yes, because Conor has the wrestling to take Gathje down. WTF
No, Conor would just knock him down. Suggesting Conor would actually submit Gaethje was hyperbole anyway (Conor would never bother going for a submission), the point just being that Gaethje is weaker on the ground than Conor.
He pounds Gaethje silly, no problemIt would be hysterical if Conor's game plan was to shoot on Gaethje.
Conor by armbar.
And here I thought it was a Sherdog Rickson reference...Conor might actually be able to submit him, yeah.
He avoided the armbar in the first. I'll admit that Gaijthe fell for a really textbook triangle setup in the second, something that should really be avoided at that level, but Khabib is an amazing BJJ practitioner. You just rarely see it because it's safer for him to GnP from the dominant positions he puts guys in.It's not the simple fact that Gaethje got submitted by Khabib, that's Sherdog level thinking right there.

He does the same to Ferguson and Poirier honestly. And I don't even like Conman.He pounds Gaethje silly, no problem

Absolutely.
Conor will wrestle fuck Gaethje to decision.....
He most likely could. Conor is a better grappler than Gaethje.
