UFC 223 [4/7] "Blessed Or Cursed?” Holloway Out (Khabib/Iaquinta, Thug Rose/Joanna Jedrzejczyk II)

[JahFocus CS]

Nah man. Khabib is trying to prove a point with a weak opponent. Conor would have his face smashed in on the ground for 3-4 rounds before he taps to strikes or something.

trying to prove a point by getting his takedowns stuffed for 2.5 rounds?

50-43

 

[GOAT]

Very sloppy performance by Khabib, he wouldn't have survived against Tony or Connor standing a full round imo.

Tony isn't a power striker. Khabib wouldn't try to stand with Conor. He'd take him down immediately. Conor got taken down by Nate Diaz, how the fukk is he gonna stop Khabib?

 

[xXMASHERXx]

One thing for sure is Khabib will not test his stand up against Conor for 3 rounds

Exactly people keep thinking that if he was fighting Conor he would fight the same way. He's taking Conor and beating him up on the ground for 3 rounds until Conor calls it quits.

 

[Inertia Creeps]

I think Conor, Tony, and Max would've starched the Khabib that was fighting in there those last 3 rounds. Al could've given himself a real chance at winning himself if he actually bothered to throw a single combination in any of those exchanges instead of just staring slackjawed at Khabib throwing that Ron De Rousey limp wrist jab at him for 5 minutes straight

And he called out GSP after all that I can't think of a worse matchup in all of MMA for him that isn't an actual heavyweight, poor Kremlin stooge would get his face rearranged something fierce by that jab

 

[jackswstd]

All this Conor talk is moot. These athletic commissions still need to hand down their punishment, if that cokehead could've stopped running around pretending to be some Irish gangster he'd have next.

 

[Roid Jones]

Very sloppy performance by Khabib, he wouldn't have survived against Tony or Connor standing a full round imo.

He wouldn't fight like that against them so that point is moot, I saw a good performance against another replacement

 

[87 others]

Conor wins standing up, Khabib wins on the ground

Conor gasses out after 1 and a half rounds and either gets pounded out or gives up his neck.

 

[JahFocus CS]

Khabib wanna fight GSP. get jabbed to death Dagestani brehs

 

[GOAT]

trying to prove a point by getting his takedowns stuffed for 2.5 rounds?

By standing with him with no real attempt at a takedown for a round and a half.

And Ianquinta has a wrestling background. Conor does not. He's defenseless against Khabib if he can't score an early knockout.

 

[dza]

Khabibs good on the mic

[The G.O.D II]

Iaquinta's boxing is embarrassing, dude has no jab and doesn't even know how to setup any entries to land anything significant

His striking looked much better before. He was just so the TD and not overextending himself like he usually does

 

[FaTaL]

I would favor gsp vs khabib

 

[So UnThotful]

i think khabib took all of Al interview time as well
