Khabib vs GSP or Khabib vs Ferguson - Khabib can fight anyone and in any division, but it is all about Ali Abdelaziz and Dana  Cheesy

This GSP vs. Khabib again.

GSP is getting older so don't expect him to push himself again to fight at 155. He doesn't need this fight. He is open for it but he would not lose sleep if the fight doesn't materialize due to the weight terms. Khabib, on the other hand, can easily move up in weight to make this happen. I'm pretty sure the contract would have been signed already if only the the fighters, not including UFC and the managers, will talk.

But hopefully we get to see the next best contender, Tony Ferguson take on Khabib in the near future.
Tony Ferguson is the rightful contender to fight Khabib and we already waited a very long time to see this fight happen, four times this match up got cancelled and this is the fight all the real fans are waiting to see. I am curious to see how Tony will deal with the pressure of Khabib and whether he can pull any BJJ moves on the ground and how Khabib will counter those.

Khabib wants to increase his chances of winning. The UFC is favoring his terms and that is understandable because UFC would lose more if GSP defeats Khabib at a catch weight (say 170). GSP isn't interested in a rematch. He just wants to fight one more time and that's it for him whether he wins or loses.   
Khabib started this topic of facing GSP as even Khabib considers him as the greatest fighter and the dream scenario will be if GSP cannot cut weight and go down to 155 pounds, he has to return for a couple of fights, challenge the 170 pound champion win the belt and Khabib and GSP battling for the belt at 170 pounds  Cheesy. With or without belt i would like to see this fight but if Khabib has to move up in weight there are many fights everyone would like to watch as there are many worthy contenders. So i am sure Khabib and his management team will make a wise decision on that.

^ Finally a UFC 243 week. I cannot believe UFC made us watch two fight nights before this event.

Israel is really confident as he should. He just have to be careful not to be overconfident and underestimate Robert's power.

Expecting the line to go up more for Israel as the event gets closer and closer.

I think GSP would be a really good matchup for Khabib but the weight at which the fight would take place is debatable as 170 might favour GSP while 155 would be a very tough weight cut for GSP and favourable for khabib. But no doubt toughest style matchup for Khabib.
All the fans are waiting to see this match up and i hope UFC can make that happen, fun fact is that GSP walks around 190 pounds and Khabib also walks around that weight when he is not fighting but Khabib is not planning to fight GSP above his weight class.
If Khabib is not ready to go up in weight class to fight GSP, not sure GSP is willing to come down to 155 pounds either.

I consider my self as just a fan of his technique and the beautiful performance he is showing inside the ring is superb I am really amazed by his performance and submission lockdown, If he would master another art then its probably  no one can ever beat him head-on.
MMA classes already named moves after Khabib says it all. He is showing moves that the world have not seen when it comes to grappling balance and techniques.

Khabib has already said that he will not move up to 170 and wants GSP to either come down to 155 or meet at 165 for a catchweight bout. I don't think it is likely that this match will happen. But hopefully we get to see the next best contender, Tony Ferguson take on Khabib in the near future.

Why are you talking about GSP, he's retired now. I don't understand, you aren't aware of that or it's a fake news?

Edit: I'm sorry you're right, GSP is officially retired but despite that he could do a super fight against him.

He is great with submission moves, but not as good as Khabib
No one can be Khabib as he is a master in combat Sambo, black belt in Judo and a master in Pankration, i wonder what he can do to others if he masters BJJ too Shocked.

Well, I consider him as the best that is why I am not the biggest fan out there I consider my self as just a fan of his technique and the beautiful performance he is showing inside the ring is superb I am really amazed by his performance and submission lockdown, If he would master another art then its probably  no one can ever beat him head-on.


I think everyones mission in UFC and whole MMA world is to find a fighter that can beat Khabib Nurmagomedov.
He is strong as a rock, and I don't think this mission will be easy, but in time people will find his weakness and exploit it, or Khabib will maybe retire before that Smiley

Maybe he would just retire and no one would put a dent to his 28 wins and still counting, Well, every Khabib match will surely take my eyes on to it that's for sure.

MVP is fighting nobodies after his loss to Douglas Lima and i think its bad for his reputation now that he is not undefeated anymore.
Looks like Bellator wants to built a super star in MVP and hence they are giving soft fighters so that they can make highlight reels with every fight, if you check his entire MMA fights he only faced two worthy contenders and even on that he was out cold in one fight. I really liked his fight style and his timing but he is too much cocky even when he defeats nobody, if he fights good legit top ten fighters and stars winning then he can show off after beating them.

I though that Hermansson had some advantage against Cannonier.
The ground skills of Hermansson was great and the only way he could win was if he could trap Cannonier with some leg locks or other sleek locks that we have not seen, to fight him on striking skills we saw the result already as he is a solid striker and powerful too as he is cutting too much weight to get to this division.

Anyone watched Bellator 228, i thought it would be an easy win for Gegard Mousasi against Lyoto Machida but i was wrong, it was a really close fight and Mousasi was holding back for a long time and finally it was a close split decision and someone won my bet.

I guess that is what's wrong with Hermansson, He is great with submission moves, but not as good as Khabib, but watching a lockdown win is very entertaining for me so I thought it will be the same as Hermansson and he may win against Cannonier, But thats OK with me as a Khabib fan I guess Hermansson needs more practice to improve his techniques.


Cannonier carries huge power and technical striking in terms of stand up. Hermansson definitely had an advantage on the ground but was unable to take him down. Hence the fight played out in a way that favoured Cannonier as nobody had a significant reach advantage.

I guess I need to move on from this loss, but will certainly still support him and see if he would improve with his techniques against fighters with a huge power output on their strikes, like Cannonier I guess he needs  to focus on his defense more, and when the right opportunity comes he can then make his moves fighting in his favor.

Jared Cannonier was to strong for Hermansson.
Jared Cannonier was fighting at light heavyweight and off course he will be too strong for Jack Hermansson but i was expecting some kind of leg lock techniques from Hermansson.

Anyone saw the Michael 'Venom' Page fight, he is fighting nobodies and his antics inside the cage is irritating now, the only time he got a legit opponent in Douglas Lima, Page slept inside the cage and Paul Daley went the distance.

Gunnar Nelson is on a loosing streak now, i thought he had the potential to become a good fighter but looks like he is done.

Let's don't lose on this guy, and even though he's gone through that situation right now most probably there's a problem on his training. Hopefully he'd recover sooner on his current career struggles.
Jared Cannonier was really technical in his bout with hermansson with good head movement and great takedown defense. He completely neutralized Hermansson and finished with ground and pound.
MVP is fighting nobodies after his loss to Douglas Lima and i think its bad for his reputation now that he is not undefeated anymore.

I feel bad for Hermansson But Cannonier just couldn't stop wrecking him and the advantage in the ring is different in the weight in's so my though of Hermansson on winning this fight is just my lost, I have seen something on Jack Hermansson that I haven't seen on Jared Cannonier so I think this is a wrong decision that I though that Hermansson had some advantage against Cannonier.
