UFC 229: Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor & Tony Ferguson vs. Anthony Pettis RBR

McGregor was exposed in the Mayweather and Diaz fights as being featherfisted and Glass Jawed. Tonight was just the nail in the coffin.

 

Be hard to come back from lads

 

What are you talking about? All four of his MMA losses are by sub so he can clearly take a punch (recovered well after being rocked tonight). But yeah getting TKO’d by a world class ATG boxer proved he can’t take a punch haha.

And yeah, he’s featherfirsted lol. Never mind his left is considered one of - if not the - best in MMA history.

It’s refreshing to see haters are as stupid in MMA as boxing.

 

He was throwing nothing but pitter-patter punches with nothing on them vs Mayweather, he did land that one uppercut which had absolutely no effect.

The guys in MMA must have some seriously bad chins if McGregor is knocking these guys out.

 

can already see whats gonna happen dana white will strip khabib and put connor vs tony for the "new belt" just to try and get that belt back on McGregor

 

Especially after all of Connor's bold chat about Khabib being "sloppy" and "chinny" standing up (post-Johnson), and about how he was going to embarrass and knock out Khabib. It even looked like Khabib was trying to keep that Rear Naked Choke locked in after Conor tapped out.

 

It was obvious to the people who were drinking Conor's Kool-Aid and backing him with their money; they just didn't want to admit it to themselves due to their blind faith in McGregor.

 

I've been calling it on this very thread since just after the attack went down ... except I think Dana will simply hand the UFC Lightweight title to Conor in order to appease him and coax him back to fight either Ferguson or GSP sometime in 2019. Dana floating the idea that UFC could strip Khabib of his championship title only deepens my suspicions.

 

Is Lewis Vs Volkov the most dramatic turnaround in UFC history?

Well since the round format was introduced.

Gracie Vs Severn was an epic turnaround. Mir Vs Lesnar also.

 

As Floyd Money Mayweather said to Conor McGregor real killers don’t quit. Also as Khabib said he is the Floyd Mayweather of MMA. Conor McGregor tapped out again. When the dust settles let’s be clear what happened in the fight it was a one sided beating. If you are going to talk trash like Conor does then be prepared to back it up.

 

Problem is there will never be a Mayweather of MMA because ita the purest form of fighting, though i guess at the moment Khabib can lay claim to being the Mayweather of MMA but someone somewhere will have his number and he will lose his unbeaten status

 

Dana is no different to Vince McMahon. Will do anything to make $$$

 

Khabib is a great great fighter and I imagine a nice humble man. Most people who know him and train with him say he is.

 

You know a rematch is coming and the PPV will be 3 million or more. America loves this type of stuff, don't let all the fake moral high ground crap fool you. Reality TV is not a big business for nothing, people like drama.
Dana White was talking smack but he jerked off hard thinking about setting up the rematch. The entire corporate office got hard looking at a way to sell that brawl as soon as Conor said rematch.
