Watching Khabib vs Tibau for the first time

Ares Black said:
Yeah I think that's a big reason why the judges gave him every round. Strictly based on scoring criteria it's debatable who won, but Khabib was just trying so hard the entire fight. He wanted it more than Tibau did, and it really showed.

I can't justify giving Khabib any of the rounds. This fight was so bad that you could justify scoring every round 10-10. If I gave any of the rounds to anyone, it'd be Tibau. Round 1 Gleison was walking forward the first 3 minutes, while Khabib backed up. Plus Gleison had better strike stats. Round 2 he had a sortof-takedown. Round 3 he had better strike stats again and got Khabib's back.

Khabib arguably the GOAT but people shouldn't dismiss this fight as a red mark on his record. 29-0 he is not.

The best is when the outcome changes the second time and retroactively changes the past. But then did the outcome change at all?

RDA also accused Khabib in the past after a couple of his teammates popped.

Meldonium is a heart drug. It's used to treat ischemia. Khabib does not have a heart problem and doesn't use it. Islam does have a heart problem and used it. That's why he got flagged and not Khabib when USADA put it on it's list in 2016.
Most famous athlete to get flagged for it was Maria Sharapova.

RDA is just a butthurt fighter talking trash

When Khabib Nurmagomedov fought Gleison Tibau I wasn't watching nearly as much UFC as I do now.

As Khabib's career progressed I always planned on going back and watching it, but I just never got around to it.

Well, today's the day I rectify the situation.

Starting Round 1 now.

First impressions:
Khabib looks so young!
Tibau is absolutely enormous. His arms are probably twice as big as Khabib's.

Will update after Round 1.

Jake shields vs Tyron woodley. live it made perfect sense as to why jake won. but another poster and i debated and he told me to rewatch it. came back and told him i was wrong, woodley should have won that fight
