You are wrong. Khabib's fight IQ is very much lower than Conor's fight IQ. I am not telling you this because I like Conor more than Khabib, I like both of them. But Khabib is a 1 dimensional person, while Conor McGregor is a deep thinker and has studied more on the soft skills of martial arts and combat more than Khabib.

Conor is an open thinker and has used different techniques to improve his martial arts. An example of this is learning the movements of Ido Portal which as something that he was ridiculed in the MMA community. But it worked as witnessed in his fight versus Jose Aldo.

So, am I on point with what I have said? Did McGregor showed that he was an open thinker who was using different techniques when he tapped out? But kidding aside like I said McGregor's only hope was facing Khabib while standing up which he didn't do as Khabib took him to the ground almost 3/4 of each round. Khabib who was 26-0 entering this fight should made McGregor to prepare more but what I have seen where he can't even get out of a take down showed lack of preparation on countering Khabib's attempts, sad to see McGregor losing the fight but Khabib showed that he is the better fighter in the ring.

You are on point hehehe. I thought Conor would expose Khabib but it was Khabib who exposed Conor. Khabib also punched Conor hard in the head that rocked him going backward. What a sad day for Conor fans. Sad

Also, yes I also felt that I was scammed.

So glad to see McChicken Sandwich get choked out by Khabib. Doesn't Conor realize that you can't just go trash talking some races like that? He's from a serious ass country where they don't mess around, you can tell it was getting to Khabib, and he really turned that anger into strength to smash McGregor in the ring. Even though I'm a fan of McGregor's I think if you're going to talk as much smack as he does, you better be ready to back it up with your fists, as Khabib was certainly out there looking for vengeance.

^^ hilariousandco, I think this is different. Khabib and a couple of other guys commited at least three cases of battery live on PPV in front of 25m - 50m viewers worldwide. I don't know if Khabib will get off this one lightly.

And I don't think I would be giving McGregor some credit. I'm a fan but after what's said and done coming into this event, he couldn't back it up vs Khabib. It's quite embarassing imho.

I think McGregor needs to get in the gym & work hard instead of posting stuff on instagram about how rich he is etc.
Sometimes when sportsmen get the money & fame they lose the hunger & forget how hard they used to train to get there in the first place.

Whilst Mcgregor was having a year off after the birth of his son Khabib was probably skinning bears with his bare hands & eating them raw & running 10km a day in freezing cold temperatures in Siberia Grin

I like this comment so much. We could see that McGregor wasn't in his best form this time. I saw him dancing around his opponents throwing super fast punchest all round and this time a little wrestling in first round gassed him out for the rest of the match. You could see that he got very slow after first round and continued until finally he got choked. Nate must be proud of himself, he showed people how to defeat Conor.

Khabib did a great job on beating McGregor. If we liken McGregor to bitconnect then does it mean that he is a scam? Lol. McGregor is a fluke and all talk without hardwork right now. He seems very confident that he is the best fighter out there but he's wrong.

Boring fight, didn’t enjoy that at all. All Khabib wants to do is take it onto the ground, that’s not fighting, it’s some faggot hugging, rolling around rubbish.

For me fighting is about standing up & going toe to toe with your opponent. I can’t respect a style like that.

watch wrestling then... your homeboy got fucked! Plus he was foul playing all game long. he was hooking khabib's gloves... Pulling his shorts... Smashed a Knee on Khabib's face and got away with it and putting his feet in the cage. so please get the fuck out of here!

Just watched it this morning. The ending was more exiting than the fight. Most people predicted that Khabib would just be too strong for him on the ground but McGregor should have done more damage whilst he was upright.

All that anticipation and adrenaline, and we get basically nothing from McGregor. He got owned out there. I'm very very VERY disappointed. Is it ring rust?

You've got to give him credit for even taking the Khabib fight in the first place, especially it being the first fight after years being away from MMA. I thought he would have come back and fought some bums first before taking on any champions.

Quote from: tokeweed on October 07, 2018, 02:39:50 AM

Anyway... I don't think Khabib will be given a license to fight in Vegas for a little while after brawling with McGregor's camp. Which is LOL btw...

It was silly of him, but McGregor has done things just as bad. Lets not forget he jumped into the audience one time which could have easily gone as sour, and then the whole bus incident that he got off lightly with. I'd actually like to see them both fight again. Maybe they will if Khabib is stripped of the belt which is a possibility. McGregor should probably have a couple of less challenging fights before he takes him on again though.

Yes, But definitely ring rust to me. He was clearly out classed even if they're standing up. His timing was off and he has nothing to offer. I agree, Khabib will be out of the UFC for quite sometime because of that act. He almost cause a riot but jumping out of the ring, Las Vegas Metro and security though was very quick otherwise its gonna be a full blow riot.

Khabib is pretty much fucked up at this point. His purse is withheld by the Nevada Athletic commission and Dana said that if any of the 3 are in the UFC and have contracts, then say bye-bye to UFC because Dana wouldn't allow them to fight anymore.

He also said that Conor is not pressing charges against the blindly attacked on him by the supposedly members from Khabib's team.

I guess the emotions is really high up to that point and after the trash talking that Conor spew, Khabib vindicated himself but it seems they went over board this time. Bitch move if I may have to put it.

That post fight is really sad not because of what happened but me being disappointed to how Khabib handled the situation. I know that he is proving that he will be winning the fight, I thought he will still be composed like what he had shown on the last weigh-in.

I think Khabib was just pushed by the emotions he is feeling at that time well, since he had proven that he is better than Macgregor but that is plainly wrong. He should just keep that emotions and be a professional in that state. He won, what other things do he want. That is enough slap for the people who are booing him on the last weigh in.

I don't understand what Khabib was thinking back there but you are right that that is wrong but I think with the overflowing anger, you know, the expression that you are angry at the same time happy and proud and the urge that everything really pisses you off at that time. As a viewer, Mcgregor deserves the loss but that move by Khabib after the fight is really bad.

McGregor was playing dirty all match, but Khabib is an idiot.

That post fight tantrum was just plain stupid. He's looking at fines, suspensions, and potentially being stripped of his title. The members of his team that jumped the cage and started punching McGregor as he's receiving treatment have been arrested. Pretty ridiculous for the guy who won the fight.

McGregor got sucker punched by two guys from Khabib's camp too. Wow what a sh*t show.
