re: UFC 254: Khabib vs. Gaethje Thread (Coverage Starts Saturday at 9:30 AM CST)

Just adding more to the legend

I’d like to see khabib compete in combat sambo again or in adcc

That’s exactly how I feel about khabib, and why I posted my rag doll comment early in the thread. I bet against gsp once after the knockout, but never again.

Tony has to be seething on the brink of insanity.

He cut weight twice in a month after prepping for 5 months for Khabib then had to get in the ring with a complete opposite brawler on 2 weeks notice and Is now kind of out of the fray in the division it seems.

I could see UFC pitting Connor and Gaethje for the vacated title now and Tony still looking in from the outside and then being too old to really make a difference when he finally does get a title shot in 2 yrs.

It’s a travesty that we never saw prime Ferguson vs prime khabib.

I don't see how Ferguson can beat Khabib. Khabib is not only 29-0, but he's never been knocked down or cut in his entire career.

Khabib’s a damn animal. Fear of the takedown and fear what he does when he does get the takedown turns strikers hands into lead. Scared to throw. Only a flash ko or a grappler will beat that man and right now one doesn’t exist that has the juice.

Damn man that sucks


Always wondered what it was like to be at the fights

Was at 229 and that was electric. It's a great environment but there's too many people that think every single punch and kick lands
