#ANDSTILL!!!

Khabibi is the greatest 155lbs fighter ever in the history of the UFC & is the best P4P fighter in the world.

NO ONE is beating Khabib... NO ONE!

I'm never saying "no-one" because he's still crap on his feet.

Once it goes to the ground though, it's over. Porier is vastly overrated - this result was never in doubt.

Khabib has mastered the Sambo style, no one is going to keep him on his feet for 5 rounds.

Every fight he's in will go to the ground because there isn't a single person in the weight class that can stop him from taking them to the ground. He's an ELITE relentless grappler with an insane level of focus, determination & extremely high fight IQ. He takes away his opponents strength & forces them to fight the fight he wants them to fight.

The only possibility of KO'ing Khabib is by a purely lucky haymaker landed clean on the jaw in the beginning of the 1st round, otherwise anybody standing in the Octagon with him is fcked. He knows exactly how to push his opponents into the most uncomfortable positions to give himself the immediate advantage, his attack style is predicated on his initial engagement with the opponent & his takedowns aren't about overpowering, it's simply about establishing position to get a lock in on that leg, once he gets hold on the fighter, it's over. Even if not in that round, all he has to do is create the entry point & once he does he's got his opponents figured out & will dominate him the rest of the fight eventually making him tap.

Khabib has literally NEVER lost a single round in his entire career, I mean he's lead in points every round he's ever fought in professionally, that's as close to perfection as you can get as a fighter.

Simply put, in order to beat Khabib you have to kill him & he ain't dead yet.

Your probably right but I still want to see Ferguson get his shot.

I do too. I love Ferguson he's a great fighter & is probably the only one in 155 that can give Khabibi a real challenge.

I can't wait for the Khabib vs Ferguson fight, but Tony ain't beating him, he has no answer for Khabib's ground game, there's nothing he can do with him.

Nothing lucky about that haymaker - he hangs his chin out there to be hit.

I don't know if we'll see a guy take that shot, but he's there to be KO'd.

As far as grappling goes, just off the top of my head. Jacare, Maia, Nogueria, Nate and Nick Diaz, Sakuraba, Royce, Rickson, Royler.

Wrestlers. Way to many to name. Yoel Romero, Kevin Jackson, Mark Schultz, Matt Lindland, Daniel Cormier, Mark Coleman, Mark Kerr, Randy Coutoure, Dan Henderson, Ben Askren, Brock Lesnar, Kevin Randleman, Koscheck. There are plenty more grapplers and wrestlers who are better as well.

Umm. Yes. Would they beat him in an MMA fight? No, but they are clearly better grapplers/wrestlers. This is like someone saying McGregor has better hands than Mayweather because he would beat him in an MMA fight.

At this very moment, pound for pound I think Khabib is the best on the ground. It’s unorthodox, not exactly “ wrestling “ or fundamental but it’s the deadliest **** I’ve seen in a minute.

GSP will never fight Khabib, under no circumstances whatsoever, he'd rather stay retired.

He don't want none of that smoke...

Lol.

I don’t think anyone really wants it. Connor is acting like he does , but deep down he doesn’t.

Connor's a professional troll at this point, the only people he's fighting is 70 year old men in Irish pubs for not drinking that sewage water whiskey he's selling.
