People were saying the same stuff when Jones played it safe vs OSP, then he took DC's soul. Khabib obviously could've won in a more impressive fashion, but i feel like khabib is very gameplan dependent. In his last fight, from the first bell he came out executing aggressively, and at the start of this fight he seemed a bit unsure until he got that first TD. Then when he realized he could just jab him to death he attempted the TD's way less. I feel like if it was Tony in there, there's a very good chance we'd have seen a better looking khabib.

nailed it... you take a fight with somebody totally unexpected on short notice that you haven't analyzed and trained for and you don't go flying in like a madman lol

my thoughts exactly. i was thinking back to when jones fought osp and when dc fought silva. they both played it safe and ppl were bashing them for not being the monster they usually are.

the same applies to khabib tonight imo

tibau, pat healey and iaquinta all outside the top ten exposed khabib's glaring weaknesses

he's a dead man



if tony/conor aren't ready to fight have him fight eddie or Lee

Khabib exposes his weakness of striking in every fight he's in... I don't think anyone ever has said his striking was elite lol. And he still smashes people.

I get the feeling you never watched the tibau/Healy fights. Tibau confirmed roider and Khabib dominated Healy. He literally picked Healy up like a sack of potatoes on his shoulder, ran him all the way across the cage, and dropped him on his head.

I think that may have been the most dominant performance in a championship fight.

50-44, 50-43, 50-43

Pretty damn good for an amateur.

at least we have champion who will defend his title vs who ever the UFC put in front of him even if the opponent changed 5 times during the week. Khabib stayed focus just like the cold blood killer he is, period !

the conor fucked up in the head fan club always see the negative outside conor (who bring the most neegativity on the mma planet ) irony...
