Imagine having the future of the lightweight division sitting out on the sidelines. Beating him puts you next in line for a title shot again.
Yet deciding to fight a training dummy at a catch-weight.
Connor needs to learn the ground game if he wants to consider himself the best ever. He doesn't need to be Khabib level.
He just needs to stop crying about jock sniffing and butt grabbing.
He's lost decisively to grappler/strikers before.
Israel Adesanya has shown impressive take down defense for a standup artist.
Holly Holm has the best cage clinch control in the game.
Darren Till dismantled KG with a simple clinch.
Justin is sitting on Elite level wrestling in his back pocket.
Its mixed martial arts. At the top level you can't afford not to be good at everything.
You should also never make excuses.
You can't simultaneously trash on grappling arts and then tap out to a rear naked choke twice.
this. nobody complained aboutt "hugging" when royce dominated in early ufc days.
If a fighter cant stop a take down, thats on them to get better at it. I personally never enjoyed people like GSP or John Fitch back in the day because they seemed to just lay on their opponent (i know its more technical than that of course) but never complained about it because its its the fighters fault for not being able to overcome that or stop the take down in the first place.
and besides...its not like khabib was in submission mode the whole time like Damien Maia either. he beat conor standing up too and on the ground he literally beat the living shit out of conor to the point where conor begged for mercy by saying "its only business"
and now he has the balls to say that khabib was hugging? lmao its a piss poor excuse
