It's no longer a blue world, Max. Where could we go?



Can't count Ferguson out completely so long as certain conditions are present: doesn't fight at night if any loose cords are present, doesn't fight at day so he doesn't disintigrate, doesn't have to fight overseas or at least has time to orchestrate a charter ship with room in the hold for several boxes of indiginous earth and a number of key real estate transactions

e: now that I think about it, historically he is undefeated against eastern european muslims

Can we talk about how Khabib threw a flying knee randomly at the start of round 2 lol. When you try each button to see what it does.

Also Poirier saying "I can't get that fucker off me man" after round 2.

When he knocked Conor down he also ran across the octagon and threw a flying knee, except it didn't go flying very far since Conor's head was at about waist level.

an underrated part of khabib's game is allowing himself to push the pace and recover and work at his rate. i think tony will force him to never stop working and will end up with a better gas tank and be able to survive. if tony can not get finished in the first 2/3 rounds then i think it'll be interesting to see if khabib can not get finished in 4/5

If they ever loving fight, I have no idea who wins. Probably Khabib regardless of how much I want my crazy boy Tony to win it.

And as far as "if they ever loving fight" is concerned, Dana said "yeah Tony's got next if he accepts the fight" so I can absolutely see them pulling some bullshit here.

if i recall, tony doesn't often do the smart-money "move to the fence and wall walk back to my feet", which is where so many of these guys get smashed and smothered by khabib. i for one really like tony's chances.

I think I'd really like Gaethje to fight Khabib. Got the feeling Gaethje could get some good shots in and make it interesting. Hopefully they'll work on him vs Khabib after Tony. I also say this because Gaethje is gonna gently caress Cowboy up bad.

Khabib climbs over the cage again, but this time to ask Dana for a few more rounds because all that crazy don't seem to be running out just yet.

Khabib realised Tony is about to tap, releases him to continue playing with his food.

If only he'd done that with conor

It was interesting when Nate submitted Conor, there were other fighters saying they would have skipped the submission and continued beating the poo poo out of him

Khabib talked about how getting Conor to tap was really important to him. He specifically used a neck crank instead of an RNC because he didn't want to give Conor the option of passing out.

I feel pretty confident that Conor would have tapped to a noogie at that point

Hmmm well Reyes is fighting Weidman, Anderson is fighting Walker...what the gently caress could Jones be doing if he wants to fight again this year? Unless Rumble or Gus come back I guess, who am I missing?

Huh that’s actually a pretty solid idea...

https://mobile.twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/1171566215841701888

Well that’s not a good take

https://mobile.twitter.com/Benaskren/status/1171574390674395136

But that is

That, too

https://mobile.twitter.com/Benaskren/status/1171578060929490944

So, in conclusion Poirier seems cool, Conor is a coked out maniac, and Askren seems cool and good?

Dustin has always been cool, Conor has always been a turn and Ben has always been a kinda funny troll.

I don't think Conor ever fights again.

Askren's 100% right about Conor.

Even Conor at the height of his abilities gets smoked by Khabib, nothing would change that. But Conor at his height (UFC 205) vs Dustin at his height (now) would probably be a loving fun fight.

As it stands now, Conor "gently caress training I'm rich biyatch" McGregor gets beat the gently caress up by the Diamond.
