Barboza and Iaquinta were both throwing at Khabib up til the final round. A lot of those shots landed and Khabib weeble wobbled forward anyway. Iaquinta hit some of his hardest shots in the last round and Khabib looked tired. Every round starts on the feet. Khabib is gonna keep Conor in this fight if for no other reason than to beat him up. Khabib half-assed the takedown once he felt like he was winning the standup. I think this main event isn't gonna be over til it's over

I don't know what's funnier. The fact they have a dumb name like "Khabib's Army" or that they all look like a Dota 2 player would be able to beat them up in a fight.

Joanna says the fight fell apart due to UFC trying to move the date up a month on short notice

https://mmajunkie.com/2018/10/joanna-jedrzejczyk-angry-and-title-fight-scratch-valentina-shevchenko-ufc-231

Valentina is going to fight someone who's in actual danger in the cage against her instead of one of the most dominant champs in the sport. The reason for this is because November is marginally more convenient than December for the UFC. exhibit 420 of why should I care about this sport or its belts at all

Khabib has fought rangy south paws. McGregor has never fought anyone like Khabib. There’s nothing special about McGregor’s striking. There is with Khabib’s grappling, though.

There's nothing special about the guy who knocked out aldo and Alvarez like it was child's play? Alvarez still hasn't been knocked out since or really made to look like that at all and he's been in hell wars. I'm far from a Conor dick rider but this is revisonist

don't hate on Khabib for being who he is. he's from a truly awful part of the world where everyone is inexplicably very proud of where they are from. in the culture he is raised it in it would be almost impossible to not be a Muslim nationalist hanging out with other Muslim nationalists.

After Conor put up that picture with Putin, Khabib put one up with a cardboard cutout and it was very funny

It's just kind of incredible to think about. Conor paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and flew in the top people to train against that specifically. He was betting his reputation that he could stop that and he was just completely unable to do it.

Let's say he had hurt Khabib in the 2nd and actually rocked him in the 3rd -- then people would have doubled down on saying that Conor had a puncher's chance. I guess I could even be fine with a rematch if Khabib had gotten significantly hurt at some point. But instead of dusting himself off and getting a KO like against Chad, Conor was just too beat.

I don't think it's surprising that he couldn't close up the gap in grappling over one training camp, nor should it be weird that he hired people to even attempt that.

It's just wild to me that there is an insane mountain man who can spike everyone in the world on their head like a football.
No amount of training or touch of God in your gloves or former championships or mental warfare or flagrantly breaking the rules several times a round were enough to make any part of it look close.

We've seen Conor lose but we have never seen him look ordinary.
