Well done Khabib Proud

Main takeaway: Al Iaquinta > McGregor

by Firenze on Sun 7 Oct - 6:35

Said it all along. Al would beat Conor. Al is legit. Half of the top 10 at LW would probably beat Conor. Division of killers.

Tony Ferguson tho, that was an incredible fight.

Connor looked rusty af, should have taken another fight before Khabib. Wonder whats next for him. Diaz 3 I guess, or Ferguson since he called him out but we're surely getting Ferguson vs Khabib finally right?

by Firenze on Sun 7 Oct - 8:45

Conor could have 10 attempts and Khabib would do the same exact thing. Outside of a lucky punch, he will never beat him.

Well, I would hope so as Khabib has been vocal before and said Tony deserves to fight him if he won. But there are already rumblings about a rematch with Conor, since it prints money.

I've been desperate to see Khabib vs Tony for a long time though. Feel like Tony has the best shot at beating him.

Tony is a complete freak to come back from his injury in 6 months and look like that. That is unheard of.

by Myesyats on Sun 7 Oct - 13:42

I hope Khabib vs Tony is next, Conor can't match their conditioning. I know weight cuts are tough but I'd love Conor to go down to 145 and fight with Holloway so that he can look good again Laughing

Ortega or Frankie are good matchups for him aswell. That's where he belongs. Maybe there could be an Aldo rematch in the pipeline.

I know you expected me to ride off into the sunset after Conor's loss Firenze but he's still a great fighter and an inspiration for me. He doesn't have to be the best ever for me to love him.

by Freeza on Sun 7 Oct - 14:33

Khabib almost ended Conor’s career with that Kimura before Conor used the illegal knee. No doubt he would’ve gone all in with breaking the arm. Would’ve been crazy scenes. Another risk of making it this personal.

A kimura really is no joke. The neck crank was also clearly just used to maximise damage on Conor.

by Myesyats on Mon 8 Oct - 10:57

Papa Nate spitting sum truth. He aint no bitch to hold on to legs for dear life.

by Firenze on Mon 8 Oct - 11:00

Khabib beat Conor standing. He beat him everywhere. He dropped Conor. Conor did fooking nuttin as he's so fond of saying.

Heard Conor wants a rematch lmao. Back of the line boy. Hope Khabib tells him to STFU. Man has never defended a belt in his entire career.

by Freeza on Mon 8 Oct - 11:11

Imagine calling Nate Diaz ‘Papa Nate’

by Myesyats on Mon 8 Oct - 11:13

Khabib is a boring fighter. He's a beast but his fight aren't enjoyable.

in the 1st round he basically hugged Conors balls and lied on him without doing anything but just keeping him down.

Plays well to his strenghts but he's still a bitch. Tony will give him a proper knock

Go watch boxing. Khabib has 11 UFC fights and 5 finishes. Undefeated. Completely dominated Conor in every facet of MMA. He is a proper mixed martial artist not a one dimensional guy like Conor.

Tony will give him a proper knock though, because he's well rounded too.

by Myesyats on Mon 8 Oct - 11:46

Tbf idk what the hell Conor was doing throughout his camp. He was gassed after the 1st round already while Khabib wasn't even phased and even continued the fight with Danis after the submission lol

Maybe he drinks too much of the proper 12.

Classic 3rd grader comeback. Nice!

commission filed a complaint against McGregor now after reviewing footage. He will also get a fine and suspension. It seems like he did throw first on Khabib's boy in some clearer footage that surfaced.

Thats why I said he looked rusty. Compare this to his fight against Alvarez, he was wayyyyyy sharper and faster. Should get rid of his rust before even thinking about fighting Khabib again.

Certainly should have warmed up and worked his way up before jumping straight into a title fight after a 2 year break.

Thinking about it now, perhaps the boxing training did him more harm than good in respect to the UFC. I noticed that he used more of a narrower stance rather than his usual wide karate stance for some reason. And he definitely went out too defensive minded, should have went for it instead of focusing on defending the takedowns. I think that's what John Kavanaugh said at Rogan's podcast aswell, that they shouldn't have went out there with a defensive approach.

I really hope what's next for him is a Aldo II fight. I'd love to see that.

@Firenze

found a new wallpaper for your desktop

by Firenze on Tue 9 Oct - 5:09

nah trying to find an enlarged version of this for my wallpaper

also look at this Proud

Conor was afraid to look that man in the eyes, he was already mentally fragile, knew he had a 5% chance at best

Nothing to do with ring rust, stop making excuses.

Poirer out of 230 with an injury

by Firenze on Wed 10 Oct - 8:40

Nate vs Conor 3 at New Years maybe then

Black Beast vs Cormier got announced which is just a complete shitshow. Scenes if DC loses. And it's possible at HW with the kinda power output.

by Zagadka on Wed 10 Oct - 13:22

Man, I don't know what was Connor thinking trolling a dude from bloody DAGESTAN.

Dagestan is a tough tough place to grow up. These guys are born to fight, very serious people. No body messes with them, hell even Ethnic Slav-Russians never mess with Dagestanis and Chechens...they just let them be and manage themselves (hence Kadyrov).

Calling Khabib a Dagestani rat or his coach a terrorist or make fun of his religion and non-drinking may be a "banter" and a marketing strategy for Connor to promote the fight and make more $$ , but to someone of Khabib's upbringing he's there for honour and dignity, not necessarily just the fame and $$.

Khabib remembered all the shit Connor said and did the talking in the ring. Good for him.

While Connor was being raise on soy-latte milk when he was a kid, Khabib was wrestling bears at 9.

Don't *bleep* with Khabib....this guy is a serious man. The hero of Dagestan:

The blonde Russians thought they're funny trolling Dagestanis when Zenit fans started chanting Connor's name in game vs. Anji Makhachkala of Dagestan on Saturday...but they got double-sucked punched:
- Anji gave Zenit their first defeat of the season
- Khabib humiliated Connor

Zenit St. Petersburg fans wound up supporters of Khabib's local team Anzhi Makhachkala in their game at the weekend by chanting Conor McGregor at them..

Conor said to Khabib in between the rounds that it's just business. They can talk all they want but at the end of the day it all comes down to the weight of them cheques. It's just a sport, you win or you lose, but your purse is heavyweight after the dust is settled.

Conor is going up and down in weight, competing in other disciplines, making his own whiskey, getting movie role offers..... It's nothing personal with Khabib, it's all promotion, they fight and move on.

He set new gate and PPV records, that's what he cares about, making history. Going up from 145 to 170 then down to 155. No other fighter does that. He's on his own journey and I don't believe it's ever personal. It's an act.... an act that definitely is successful and made Khabib earn much more money than he ever did before. They're withholding his purse but still.

It’s just a prank bro

Always knew he was a YouTube social experiment kind of dude
