TJ screaming into Cody's face right after the KO is one of the most primal things I've ever seen in the sport. I don't think I'll ever forget that, along with things like Anderson's ninja shit, Crocop getting shadow realmed by Gonzaga, etc.

Hope the rematch is just as good.

^^^ Have no recollection of this ever happening ^^^

Was Cody still out of it or what? Usually they don't let you get near the guy you just KO'd.

That video makes more sense, the photo you posted made it look like a staredown from a weigh-in, the video shows that it lasted a fraction of a second before the ref pulled him back.

I don't know why Conor is the underdog after we saw how shitty Khabib's stand up was in his last fight.

On another note, that PPV tonight is trash. I'll be surprised if it does 100k buys.

Part of it is probably that we've seen Conor lose.

I also think it's partially the matchup. We've seen Conor gas, and Khabib...is probably gonna make Conor gas. I feel like it's Khabib's fight to lose, depending on if Khabib can get and keep Conor down, and if he does something stupid (like decide to bang with Conor)

...plus a lot of people just want to see Conor be broken

Gustafsson/Oezdemir cancelled? Sad. Dunno if the Demetrious fight will be competitive or not. Don't really care about Dillashaw/Garbrandt

Khabibs TD's is less than 40% sometimes 30% per fight, he gets stuffed a lot.

however, if he gets you down...

Conor does mostly kicks, teeps and spinning, never does knees, so it's not like he can counter TD's w/ a flying knee. Khabib also favors sambo trips in a clinch too.

I don't even know if that's a huge problem for Khabib, though. Even if he doesn't get the TD, he may be taking you to the fence and is gonna start working underhooks, wrists, trips, something. And even if you get completely free, you probably just spent all your time/effort on getting free and not striking, and Khabib keeps coming forward.

Once Khabib gets Conor to the ground, he'll be down there until the ref steps in or the bell rings. Khabib will not surprise Conor. He will put himself in danger. But once he wraps Conor up, the brutality and damage will not stop. He's unrelenting with his pressure.

Conor has had YEARS to prep for Khabib and put together a game plan. Conor's an expert at exploiting small openings and knowing where the fight is going; he has excellent takedown defense because of his anticipation. The Irishman's striking is next level.

It's the ultimate contrast of styles. The fight will be won based on a handful of milliseconds which could go either way as each fighter instantly reacts to circumstance.

Go look back at how well Chad Mendes handled Conor on the ground, and now think about Khabib. I think if Khabib manages to get his hands on Conor, it is all over.

Conor's only hope is lightning strikes twice and he gets a Jose Aldo 13s, otherwise Khabib does have ok-ish standup but he can take a few cracks

apparently Conor can crack LW's, he cracked eddie and fight2 against Diaz he was flopping all over the ground, unless you believe his strat was to bait conor
Diaz says he fell to the ground to ‘dupe’ McGregor
