Rewatch Why was Khabib acting out of character?

[WelcometoHell]

One of the very few times I've seen him out of character

He legit elbowed the fighter (his name is Thiago Tavares) 13 or 14 times on the ground

and he was really trying to hurt him

A contrast to what Khabib normally is like or claims to be

Anyone know why he was so mad against this guy?

 

[hbombbisping]

Out of character? Khabib's gameplan is getting guys down and smeshing them with ground and pound.

How the term smesh even became a thing.

 

[DougieJones]

This is a guy that jumped the cage because he controls his emotions like woman on period... is normal

Probably because humans aren't robots.

the only time I remember Khabib being nice was when he didn't break Gaethjes arm and instead tapped him with a triangle from mount like a white belt.

which might be even meaner at this level

Khabib is the goat at smashing. That's what the goat does!

 

[AmonTobin]

Tavares pissed hot for that fight too. Fuck em.

 

[AndrewGolota48]

Two reasons:

1) Khabib got a sick adrenaline rush from the shock of actually dropping any opponent with a standing strike.

2) Mirgliotta was the ref, so Khabib knew a near death experience was required to stop the fight.

 

[HHJ]

SMESH is not out of character.

 

[Mammothman]

Out of character? This is real life not WWE

You comment like a woman on her period

 

[Koala]

that was Antagonist Khabib

 

[TheBulge]

He was a very mean bastard untill his last few fights. The GnP on Johnson and Barboza were vicious too.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Teasing a heel turn

 

[Tatra]

Love fights without commentary.

 

[Hog-train]

What do you mean OP? He stopped elbowing as soon as the ref stopped the fight.

 

[Rataria]

He watched some Stone Cold Steve Austin highlights

 

[dipstickjimmy]

He didn't seem "Mad" at all. Seemed like a guy in a cage with another guy in a fight.
As mentioned there would certainly be an adrenaline rush dropping a guy and he got him in position where he could drop elbows to get the finish.

 

[Kal-El]

Conor fans still trawling through archives to find anything they can to discredit Khabib. Crazy to realize Khabib not only took Conors soul, but the souls of those who lived vicariously through Conor, bizarre and hilarious.

 

[VinceArch]

Khabib was smeshing, completely in character.
