    It 's Francis the talking mule, the idiot who kept claiming how Khabib had te4rrible stand up. LOL Now the talking mule's new mantra is how GSP beats him "comfortably".

    I stand by my comment. Khabib's standup in ordinary for an elite fighter. I also picked Khabib to easily beat Conor who imo is greatly overrated above 145 lbs. Khabib can do ok in fights on the feet because his opponents are concerned so much with the takedown and his ground fighting ability.

    You seem to think Khabib's stand up is brilliant. How many decisions has he had in the ufc ? He's a decision machine really, Conor quit because he has no gastank and had zero chance to win by the 4th rd that was obvious. Conor's just a good frontrunner in fights like Rumble Johnson was and like Mike Tyson was. Non of those guys have the mentality and warrior spirit of Tony Ferguson, Dan Henderson, Holyfield or Tommy Hearns willing to go out on his shield.

    I like Khabib and I'm glad he owned Conor and the ufc/dana and all their BS.

    If they fought in say 6 months at 170 lbs imo GSP would beat him. GSP is the best wrestler I have ever witnessed in mma and he also has outstanding striking.

    ^^^You routinely claimed Khabib's stand up was poor to awful, now you are augmenting it to "ordinary".

    Ben Askren said he could beat Khabib at 165lbs.

    It is ordinary for an elite fighter. Is Matt Serra a legendary striker just because he floored GSP ? No of course he isn't. I have seen all of Khabib's UFC fights and would not regard him as a great striker at all. I just don't see what you're seeing pal.

    Woodley beats him: better striker, more powerful, excellent wrestler, faster, bigger.

    Can’t see Dana doing it though. Zero promo would come from both. And he (Dana) clearly dislikes Woodley.
