I watch MMA sometimes, but I agree that the good old K1 days were best to watch. Especially the Dutch with great techniques.
“It was my first pay per view ever.”
Nice not having to travel to the coliseum, and waiting thru all the christian/lion prelims.
Just heard from MctapperMcnugget. He FAILS to acknowledge Khabib is FAR SUPERIOR in MMA. Striking alone WILL NOT be enough to win fight.
Ferg is in some serious trouble when Khabib gets a hold of him.
On related note : Eddie Alverez ( former Bellator and UFC champ ) signed with OneFC with 9 figure income.
If McNuggets gets a rematch before Ferg has his chance I’ll be so pi$$ed.
Good on Eddie, UFC didn’t appreciate him, I’d like to see more top tier fighters going to Bellator.
I still think Ferg has a damn good chance to beat Khabib
The fight I saw proved that Mctapper couldn't take Khabib on the ground or standing up. He was severely outmatched and has to learn to live with that defeat.
Sonnen, who spoke out that Kabib would handily beat McGregor, said in a rematch that Kabib would NOT be a shoe in.
Conor’s head was just too big to slip out of that.
Yes, I would be pissed if Mcnugget/Mctapper got rematch. Does not deserve after the BEAT DOWN Khabib gave him.
By the way, Eddie signed with One Fighting Championship in Asia. The company offered him real good money. These days fighters have to be smart and go where the money is. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Eddie is very smart to choose One. He will make wealthy money and more appreciated and respected.
Unless Uncle Dana has money cows like Rousey ( OOPS!! ) Super Sage Nortcutt ( OOPS AGAIN, Conor Mcnuggets ( OOPS a 3rd time ) NO RESPECT AT ALL for real fighters without the hype!!!
I never said Ferg does not have a chance with Khabib. Sure Ferg has very good BJJ, decent striking, decent wrestling. Does that entitle a win? No. Reason is Khabib is unbeaten for a reason. He is that good.
Mcnugget/Mctapper is a striker. His ground game is TOTAL TRASH!!! All of his LOSSES have been to submissions. Mctapper LACKS the physical and mental FORTITUDE PERIOD. He DOES NOT tough it out when the going gets tough. Just simply gives up. Rather than trying to defend submissions.
Mcnuggets is a round 1 and 2 fight with power in that left hand. As the fight progresses he IS DONE. Let’s take a look at his last 4 bouts.
VS Nate Diaz 1. Clearly gassed WITH NO ground game. Submitted by Diaz VERY EASY
VS Nate Diaz 2. Also clearly gassed and ESCAPED by the skin on his back. Mcnuggets was ” gifted ” the win.
VS Floyd Mayweather. Gassed got KOed. Mayweather let Mcnuggets ” blow his load ” as per various interviews. Mayweather taking Mcnuggets into ” DEEP WATER ” and KOed Mctapper.
Vs Khabib. Gassed again. Submitted VERY EASY. Mcnuggets gave up NOT even trying to defend submission.
Moral of story is Mctapper/Mgnuggets is a ” ONE TRICK ” pony. Punchers chance with round 1 and 2. Beyond that he LOSES BIG. No FORTITUDE to be REAL MMA fighter.
Sonnen is funny. He actually believes the stuff he says is true. I do like Sonnen with the hilarious stuff he says though. Guys a great comedian. The outcome would be the same for Conor VS Khabib 2. Mcnuggets loss VIA Submission
BTW, Did anyone see what Fedor did to Sonnen in Bellator? Man that was some serious ground and pound by Fedor.
Not really. Khabib’s submission game is on par with world class BJJ guys. The extra elements Khabib adds is FIERCE Russian Sambo, Wrestling, and ground and pound. Once Khabib gets a hold of you it is over. No matter how good you are. Khabib has many ways to win MMA because guy has a lot of weapons at his disposal.
It takes a wrestler to beat another wrestler in many cases, wrestling is such an important aspect in this sport. In this case GSP might stand a chance to beat Khabib as not only that GSP has pretty good wrestling, his striking is also better than Khabib. But the only disadvantage from GSP might be his age though. I hope they make this happen.
GSP might stand a chance if he is able to AVOID Khabib’s ground and pound. Once Khabib gets a hold of you chances DO NOT look good for escape. Especially when the guy fights very angry like against Mcnuggets.
Ooh forgot to mention Jason ” Mayhem ” Miller got arrested AGAIN. For felony vandalism.
Guy’s a pretty good MMA fighter. Had good thing going with TV show ” Bully Beatdown “.
Dude can’t not seem to stay out of legal trouble. The guy definitely has some mental problems.
Too bad GSP has been away from MMA for too long (almost 4 years!) hence he may not in his prime now. If he is in his prime he can certainly pose a serious threat to Khabib if they get a chance to fight each other. Guy is a little bit boring to watch but his wrestling skill is solid. He was once on the Olympic wrestling team IIRC. He is also renown as a strategist and always come with a solid gameplan - be it a striking game (literally use Jab all the way to win against Josh Koscheck) or wrestling game.
I don’t know who else have very good wrestling skill in lightweight division but someone with excellent BJJ (Tony Ferguson) might cut it as well. The key is to decode Khabib’s wrestling, or at least know how to react to it well when you’re on your back. Mcgregor has neither and that’s why he doesn’t have answer to Khabib’s wrestling game. He is just a pretty good striker and that’s all.
A clear Khabib fan no doubt!
Khabib has done well in the cage.
His international and national following are HUGE.
Although, GSP would stand far more than “a chance” against Khabib.
As for Khabib’s “fights angry” with McGregor.
If by angry you mean out of control, unprofessional, and dangerous to the fans. I agree.
Khabib is suspended as of October 24th by NSAC, half his winnings/purse withheld for his CONDUCT post fight.
His punishment has just begun from the Nevada State Athletic Commission.
Far more sanctions to follow December 10, 2018.
Lets see if recent news with Askren and UFC pan out.
Different weight classes but let’s see.
Check out Joe Rogan’s take on the two fighting.
Askren is 34. If this pans out, for sure he has another good run in him. Love to see it happen. Put some tape over Dana’s ears 
GSP is a very smart fighter with solid game plan. He is well rounded. BUT Khabib is one of those guys that makes you ” PAY BIG TIME ” when you accept fight against him. Especially when he fights extremely angry like against Mcnuggets. Khabib wanted to ” HURT ” Mctapper but ref jumped in and saved Mcnuggets from WORSE BEATING.
As far Ferg. His BJJ is very good no doubt. Decent striking and wrestling. Does that entitle win? NO. No one has been able to ” decode ” Khabib’s fighting attacks at all. He is unbeaten for a reason. He is as Triple H would say ” that damn good “.
” Funky ” Askren is just hype. He HAS NOT beat anyone worth mentioning. If he does enter UFC put him up against top 5 to see how he stands.
Key matchups
Ursman, Dos Santos, Colvington, Thompson, Maia, Masvisdal, Cowboy Cerrone.
If he able to get past either of those guys thenWoodley gets ” Funky ” next.
Uncle Dana is trying to ” find ” another cash cow. Most of his cash cows are just hype and no longer top tier.
Rousey : GONE
Super Sage Norcott : GONE
Mcnuggets : LOSING STEAM
Paige Van : gate keeper
Askren is hype, guess Joe Rogan is clueless as he is promoting this match up. Of course he has made millions as the commentator for MMA for years .
Askren was NCAA champion two years and runner-up two years hardly hype.
I disagree with your unsupported analysis but without question Khabib is a remarkable fighter.
