Sounds like it's time for Mark Hunt to get a title shot.

its possible he had low blood sugar levels which can make you feel cold although i doubt it. but his arms were shaking during the later rounds which means his muscles were starting to misfire, either a sign of deep fatigue or hypoglycemia. its normally something that happens during long efforts of 2 hours+ though. but sometimes you do feel paradoxically cold during hard efforts, not to mention some athletes swallow ice to lower their body temperature before performing. although if you ask me i think the coach was just tucking him into bed for the night

As dry as the sahara, were the towels of Francis Ngannou, Joe. Really though they look like dry fluffy towels both live and in the photos.

Too much overexposure renders their speech mannerisms less humorous and more commonplace. Farmer Fran didn't speak too many times in the Waterboy and only had a one-scene cameo in Joe Dirt, while even Boomhauer seldom speaks more than once per episode. I dont think Stipe doing more media would "put him over" as you say.

DC announced that after March 20, 2019 (his 40th birthday), he will retire. So, he apparently has 14 months left. https://www.mmafighting.com/2018/1/22/16920120/daniel-cormier-sets-hard-date-in-2019-for-retirement-from-mma

I understand the reference but unfortunately this is not true. He’s always sounded like if Gilbert Godfried was really into monster trucks.

Every one of those examples has Conor coming forward or with his opponents back to the cage. I have a hard time imagining Khabib in the same situation considering what we've seen in his last two fights.

I can't believe WWE Raw and the UFC are the exact same age. Not sure which I thought would be older but it's still surprising. I guess I thought Raw would be older considering the respective age of the two "sports". Are there any plans for a big 25 year special like they did with their 20 year celebration? That doco was cool.

I have a hard time imagining Khabib in the same situation considering what we've seen in his last two fights. In a few of the exchanges, he is standing and pops back after reaching out and decided the opponent is coming in. Yeah, it's not necessarily a scenario that'll come up with how fast Khabib comes in. On the other hand, he can spend all his time trying to zero in on Khabib's head which is right there.

I still think there's not a huge amount you can extrapolate from Mendes, who took him down repeatedly, then eventually just collapsed against the fence from exhaustion before Conor actually knocked him down.

Conor also uses lots of body kicks/no chance spinning kicks to keep guys standing far enough out of the pocket that he can see them coming from a mile away. The post doesnt work quite so great against south paws because its a lot harder to land the left. The fight im most interested to see has always been rda/conor, but nate answered a lot of the south paw questions

I'm no expert but I feel like Khabib's punching range would be pretty good. He tends to lean forward/into his punches rather than stand back on his heels, wouldn't that mean his real world reach would be better than his on-paper reach?

He got waaay better at fighting once he was in the UFC. WEC Chad sucked. UFC Chad is actually pretty drat good.
