The MMA Thread: DON'T ASK 4 STREAMS & NO GIFS- Cannonier, Imavov, Reyes, Rosas on NOW

[Vincent Van Goat]

Dude connors face is on everything UFC related. Connor just got spanked like an infant.

Conor’s been beat and subbed before and came back just fine

Dana can rehab Conor quite easily, it’s just up to conor if he wants to continue

 

[bostoiah]

What was it that Connor said about khabib? Where can I find the vid or what do I search for?

Yo also for a guy like khabib who is really good with grappling if he went up against somebody with really good bjj would that be a good match or no? Who do you think would be a good fight for khabib next?

Conor called Khabib’s manager a terrorist, his dad a coward, and his brother a rat.

Khabib would also dismantle someone with great BJJ imo... his grappling is really next level. Dude is just too strong. I thought Conor would be his toughest fight... I also think he mauls Tony Ferguson who is the next best LW other than Conor

 

[illphillip]

The gap between the lowest and highest levels of grappling is MUCH larger than the gap between the lowest and highest levels of striking

One would need to be extraordinarily well versed in both to make sure a grandiose statement.

In Conor’s last 2 fights he’s seen both and realistically was dominated in both.

And he’s a “striker”.

tony has excellent bjj and should be khabib next fight if he doesnt retire.

Tonight just proves mma fans still rock chin straps with ed hardy jeans

 

[JCMojica24]

No way that can’t be real LMAO

 

[youngogjosh]

Theyre basically the same thing lol. You sound mad

I rooted for Khabib you goof, why would I be mad? I questioning you to make a sensible argument, which you seem incapable of doing.

 

[thehealthinspector]

tonys that dude, but cmon, we just watched the champ beat the former champ

 

[bostoiah]

Yo WHAT in the world does drake think he’s gonna do?

Go cryin’, Audrey

Learning to grapple is much harder than learning to strike imo. But what Khabib has over a lot of other fighters is the sambo background which is much more violent than bjj imo. His chin has been trained over years and tonight was a perfect example. Like khabib said "If sambo was easy it would be called jiu jitsu"

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

That drake vid is old y’all

Tony saying he wants to fight Conor

Tony said “I haven’t sparred in 4 or 5 years”

The real match up people wanted to see was khabib vs Tony. Tony can push the pace with khabib. Khabib is great on top, Tony is great on the bottom

Tonight confirmed my belief that Tony would wash khabib. That pressure and pace is completely different than khabibs. He gave Pettis zero room to breathe

 

[blastercombo]

Connor looked bad on every level. He at no point was doing anything worth a damn. Round 3 was bib resting up for the last 2 knowing Connor was done. I guess Connor was drunk during the fight

 

[thehealthinspector]

im just glad we can stop all this fake champ stuff for khabib, yall haters knew this guy was worthy and should have just accepted it

 

[green rhino123]

That drake vid is old y’all

Drake gonna unleash the booty goons.

I stand by my statement. Hence why you typically see more grapplers become better strikers than strikers become better grapplers. There's empirical evidence in the UFC. See: Fabricio Werdum vs Anthony Pettis

Pettis tagged tony and had that fool on the ground looking like he lost his glasses. Now I agree with you that Tony is slippery on bottom and has endurance but Khabibs grip strength is leagues above anything Tony has faced. He'd have to wear Khabib out on the mat and I just can't see that happening.

Well yes but kinda if you take UFC “strikes” as just that and not as boxing. UFC “striking” is just head hunting. No real setup or technicality for the majority of fighters

If you’re not extraordinarily skilled in both, you probably don’t know what you’re talking about.

He was worthy, but it was just sad not seeing tony or conor as khabibs opponent. To be the true champ he needed to beat one of them

All questions answered now

 

[jaymosenvied]

Khabib ran out there looking like Ron Artest

 

[DADDYFATSACKS]

What argument is there to be had? I said Conor didnt have power/ his left didnt exist this fight. Is it that hard to comprehend? Leave me alone lol

 

[illphillip]

Not to mention the level of Muay Thai elsewhere.
