Khabib wont come back guys. Especially not for Connor.

Probably ONLY for GSP.

Khabib Nurmagomedov: Fighting not in my plans, don’t ‘push me to do things that will disappoint my mother’

The current lightweight champion gave an interview to a Russian news outlet and indicated he has no plans on returning to the octagon.

Lets be honest, Dana is talking a comeback in order to keep Connor, relavant. Honestly hes just embarrasing. Have you seen the **** hes been talking?

And the only reason Dana wants a rematch is because of the money it would bring in.

Khabib has NOTHING to prove to anyone. Because as we all know, "this is number 1 easy fight in lightweight division"

In the meanwhile, tomorrow is red panty night in the Poirier household!

If Conor can beat Dustin then yeah maybe he is still relevant, so we will have to see

How does one watch the Conor and Dustin fight online?

 

[UrBaN963]

I believe it will be on Supersport

 

[APoc184]

Nice!!

Seems like a plan well executed...

Work the leg.... And then let the hands go free.

Conor, not hungry enough, not prepared enough, maybe too cocky, and now that he can't play mind games like he used to he loses that edge that he used to have over many of the top fighters.

Khabib TKOd him for sure... but Herb Dean...you know... was so in awe upon seeing the eagle in full flight... luckily he came back to his senses in time for the tap

Wanted to prove he could go rounds. I saw a few times when he could have pushed forward but opted to backoff to the center.

Also seems to have changed his stance. Always had a wide south paw now closer to a more conventional stance, left his legs open.

Good point, that was likely the reason for his downfall. Dustin admits he was hurt but Conor didn't pursue further strikes.

I think the reality is that at featherweight, Connor was a monster, but he is just average at lightweight.

Its just a testament to how stacked the Lightweight division really is.

 

[my meneer is 'n beer]

I get a feeling that Connor looked at himself in the mirror and said, I'm the best. How do I beat the best, wait I know, do it like Mayweather did. Then he focused on boxing technique and rumour has it he hired boxing coaches to prepare for this last fight. What a knob.
