So if somewhat early in the rounds he caught Khabib with a huge punch and then pound him, that is the only chance that I see him winning.

Nate Diaz is not known for his punching power to land a heavy punch and end the fight, he is really good on the ground but he never initiate the ground game, Nate Diaz usually defeats his opponents with accumulative strikes and i really doubt Khabib will stand with him for that.

To bad Dana and Ali are not interested to see match Khabib vs Diaz. Simply because it wont be profitable and their golden mine (Khabib) wont be so interested if he loses.

Khabib and Nate has a history outside the cage as they traded shots outside and if that fight is announced it will be another big pay per view, that being said i do not see Khabib loosing anytime soon.

Quote from: Bttzed03 on October 02, 2019, 05:42:45 AM

I see the fight going to the ground most of the time.

When Khabib is fighting you expect the fight on the ground all the time but i do not see Nate facing Khabib anytime soon.

And there's more action coming in on Adesanya. Some sports betting sites now got him as a slight favorite. It's making me scared. Lolol.

Was watching Adesanya and his old kick boxing fights, he is a special talent when it comes to stand up game and if it is a standing game i see the style bender winning.

Right now, Nate is the third (or fourth) choice behind GSP , Ferguson, (or Conor). When the time is right, I doubt that the fight between the two will not be profitable. Nate knows how to sell/promote a fight and he has the skills to back it up.

Nate knows how to sell, strange that he doesnt earn much. 250k for the fight with Pettis, 500k+2kk for both fights agains Conor. But in other fights he got like 10-100k only. I think that is not much for a fighter of his caliber.

Nate is comfortable being on the ground and we all know that he has the balls to match against Khabib. But as this point, Khabib hasn't show any weaknesses, the only way I say see Nate to win if he caught Khabib flush on the chin. We all know that Nate loves fighting stand up as well and he has a long reach. So if somewhat early in the rounds he caught Khabib with a huge punch and then pound him, that is the only chance that I see him winning.

Nate is a volume puncher and not someone with a KO power but I don't see Khabib allowing him to throw many punches as he pleases. I see the fight going to the ground most of the time.

I think Nate Diaz can choke khabib just like he did with Conor Mac Gregor. I think is the only one who can beat him right now.

Now that you brought it up, it could be an interesting match up. The fight will mostly likely go the distance and I see Khabib winning a unanimous decision. Nate isn't worried about being taken down unlike Khabib's previous opponents but the only way I see him winning is if the current champ gasses out (which is also unlikely).

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.

I reckon that it might take 6 months or more for an older fighter like him. Also, not only to lose the weight but lose it and be in the best fighting condition.

@seoincorporation. Khabib will handle and smesh Nate for 5 rounds hehehe.

Btw, who besides Ferguson can now stop Khabib in his division? Some other wrestler, but not striker?
(Lets not be limited with UFC, maybe other fighting organisation fighter are also able to stop him)

I think Nate Diaz can choke khabib just like he did with Conor Mac Gregor. I think is the only one who can beat him right now.

And if we are not limited with UFC i would pay my soul to see a fight between khabib and Mayweather under box stile, that would be awesome too see for sure and hard to know where to place the bet.

According to the video, he's got 3 girls (lucky father), but according to wiki 2 sons and a girl Grin

If Khabib doesn't fight GSP next it will be %100 because of Ali Abdelaziz. He wants to avoid Tony Fergusson at all costs, he wants to keep Khabib undefeated and hope that Tony Fergusson ends up becoming tired of the long wait, picks up a fight with someone else and then the case for a tittle shot against Khabib is gone, similar to how the case for Jones vs DC 3 is now gone. Things change fast in this business.

Bookies are dreaming with a Fergusson vs Khabib fight and those guys are giving us delay after delay. Let's just hope Dana is right and they are working now on the match, because that is what he said according to latest news. Im almost 100% sure we'll see it in 2020 Q2 or so.

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.

In my opinion, even if his opponent would study his moves they would just can't take it when it comes to the actual fight Khabib once just have one takedown that he is applying over and over again the one leg takedown but after that move's weakness has been exploited he then change and trained in a different strategy, and wearing off his opponents then taking them down, I guess Khabib is a master and a mystery that even himself could not understand.

Main Card (PPV)
Middleweight: Robert Whittaker vs Israel Adesanya

243 this weekend guys! Adesanya's up... Some huge action getting into him. His line went from being a slight underdog at 2.25 down to 1.90ish in two days. I already have action on him the moment it went up at Nitrogen (at 2.24ish then a couple of weeks later at 2.19ish).

Well, This two seems to be the best strikers here on MMA, but I guess Whittaker had the advantage over Adesanya, While I think that Adesanya will sure struggles here and we are seeing that Whittaker is more deeply-skilled boxer and more adaptive than Gastelum which Adesanta Struggles with, I think Whittaker had a wide understanding for pressure than Gastelum, So Adesanya may had a hard time against him.

But Adesanya can take his advantage to Whittaker by giving him leg kicks and fighting Whittaker outside but I think this could not take long and Whittaker can take the frame for it and could even take out the pace because his the better athlete and may enter Adesanya's Territory, So I think Adesanya may rest the belt to Whittaker this time, So I will go for Robert Whittaker winning this.

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.

Quote from: Bttzed03 on September 30, 2019, 09:43:29 AM

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.
