Complete lack of set up to the dive for an ankle worked on Conor but won't against a LOT of people. For as incompetent as people make Conor out to be, Khabib played position almost exclusively in the round; and if I'm not mistaken (gotta watch back), that's the round where when Khabib DOES get the advancement Conor is able to work his way from a full mount threat to a full guard with one explosion. He just got away with some "mistakes" that I didn't expect him to ever make and I put mistakes in quotes there because I'm guessing that he just knew Conor wasn't good enough to take advantage. Tony Ferguson on the other hand...I don't see anything from that first round working and in general the "I'm not gonna exchange, just gonna shoot" thing bothers me (speaking on the first round only).

lol why yall assuming none of this was DJ's idea? He was complacent as fukk after that Cejudo loss, didnt seem like he wanted a rematch atall.

Asian market is a better fit for DJ. He quotes anime and walks out to street fighter theme music.

Most asian athletes are small. This is only a bad deal for the UFC. for DJ and ONE FC this is a match made in heaven.
Yup. Fantastic deal for MM. One can make him an International superstar. Like I said before, one FC will buy out ufc by 2025
