So he’s going to wear the Infinity Gauntlet instead of mma gloves in the rematch?
Lol that’s funny but there’s always an answer. It’s just about how much you are willing to sacrifice to solve that puzzle while it’s happening. Khabib breaks people mentally before breaking them physically but everyone thinking that was some epic beatdown by khabib standards is wrong. It was still a dominant victory but he didn’t pummel him like he’s done to everyone else.

I'm definitely no expert but I think McGregor just had the wrong gameplan for the fight. He was fighting not to lose instead of fighting to win. He was too passive and then got tired out by being on the defense for so long.

UFC needs to do the right thing and book khabib vs Ferguson. Rumblings Conor is asking for a rematch.
This is what Tony's opponents looked like after the fight.

Tony is the only fight to make right now. Conor would get it worse from khabib a second time around. He was being very cautious and just wearing Conor out in the first. Now that he knows Conor has nothing for him on the ground, second round stoppage or sooner.

Yeah khabib has a way of making anyone’s game plan look awful. I also just didn’t think Conor looked as sharp. It was a mistake to come back and fight khabib first. No one is immune to ring rust unless his name is Jon Jones

Go rewatch Jones vs OSP
It’s very rare for anyone to take an extended time off and come back as good or better than they were
St Pierre is the exception

First off you are right I’m not sure how I forgot about GSP(although people totally forget about the arse whipping he took from Johnny Hendrix. Hendrix wrecked him and it wasn’t even close. One of the worst decisions in ufc history) but I just meant he can still pull out a win. Forget the OSP fight, watch the Gustafson fight. He is waaaaay more dangerous and still couldn’t beat jones after a coke and hooker binge. Everyone can talk about khabib and DC and whoever but the REAL goat is pissing his career away. Total waste. There’s no one else on their roster that can handle DC yet Jones beaten him twice pretty soundly and I’m not sure the outcome would be any different if they fought 10 times. Throw out his past or what you think of him as a person and he is the GOAT and it really isn’t close. He’s the ONLY guy that can barely train and still defeat elite fighters. Ridiculous talent.

Fedor is the GOAT not Jones
Posted on 10/10/18 at 8:10 am to VerlanderBEAST
With respect to Fedor I still have Royce Gracie as my GOAT

I want to see Khabib fight Demian Maia. Demian would make Khabib tap tap tap.

What about his 3 fight losing streak makes you think that?

The finish wasn’t even a rear naked choke. It wasn’t under his chin. It was a neck crank and that shite hurts.
I'd rather have someone lock me in a rear-naked than a neck crank any day. That shite can lead to some of the worst cricks in your neck that lingers for a while. You are correct as well, in that the pain threshold in what really hurts is not understood by most. I've broken a finger and multiple toes in jiu jitsu and never realized it while grappling. It was always 10-15 minutes after rolling before the pain ever settled in. Also, 110% correct in staying calm once you've been mounted or caught in any choke/lock. The more you struggle, the tighter it gets.

Gustaffson got robbed.

Robbed how?
It was a close fight.

Goofy UFC scoring is the only reason Jones won that fight

No sir. Ben askren vs khabib would be the equivalent of two bears mauling each other. That’s the fight to make but it won’t happen because Dana White holds grudges.

No
He solidified his win in the later rounds
Then again I watched it while I had downtime and was in Afghanistan
So my memory may not be clear
