So glad to see McChicken Sandwich get choked out by Khabib. Doesn't Conor realize that you can't just go trash talking some races like that? He's from a serious ass country where they don't mess around, you can tell it was getting to Khabib, and he really turned that anger into strength to smash McGregor in the ring. Even though I'm a fan of McGregor's I think if you're going to talk as much smack as he does, you better be ready to back it up with your fists, as Khabib was certainly out there looking for vengeance.

You are wrong. Khabib's fight IQ is very much lower than Conor's fight IQ. I am not telling you this because I like Conor more than Khabib, I like both of them. But Khabib is a 1 dimensional person, while Conor McGregor is a deep thinker and has studied more on the soft skills of martial arts and combat more than Khabib. Conor is an open thinker and has used different techniques to improve his martial arts. An example of this is learning the movements of Ido Portal which as something that he was ridiculed in the MMA community. But it worked as witnessed in his fight versus Jose Aldo. So, am I on point with what I have said? Did McGregor showed that he was an open thinker who was using different techniques when he tapped out? But kidding aside like I said McGregor's only hope was facing Khabib while standing up which he didn't do as Khabib took him to the ground almost 3/4 of each round. Khabib who was 26-0 entering this fight should made McGregor to prepare more but what I have seen where he can't even get out of a take down showed lack of preparation on countering Khabib's attempts, sad to see McGregor losing the fight but Khabib showed that he is the better fighter in the ring. You are on point hehehe. I thought Conor would expose Khabib but it was Khabib who exposed Conor. Khabib also punched Conor hard in the head that rocked him going backward. What a sad day for Conor fans. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Also, yes I also felt that I was scammed.

That is the whole problem of Mcgregor who didn't fight for 2 years.
Stamina Issue Lesser punching power
Khabib is kinda awkward fighter but he is indeed giving conor an headache. I guess Conor should fight few different people in that division for awhile for a warm up before asking for a rematch. Yet Conor is already looking forward for a rematch as he posted on twitter.

It was a beautiful finish and something I had anticipated knowing McGregor history but was not expecting it so soon, i hope he finally realises in the ring punches matter and not thrash talking. The post match incident also indicates how furious Khabib was with McGregor thrash talking, over all a money's worth match. I really liked Khabib post match comments where he apologised for the post match attack, but gave McGregor an important lesson not to thrash talk next time round.

I have been watching that match and seems this is one of the best fight in MMA history and Khabib deserve to be the winner because he was very superior on that match and unfortunately that Mcgregor trash talk looks have huge impact for Khabib because after fight he was looks very emotional and the latest news i have heard is UFC owners will give punishment from Khabib act

Stamina Issue Lesser punching power
I think we all know that Conor was somewhat have a questionable issue with this stamina. He usually gases out after round 2. I think the punching power was still their, but his timing is very off because he wasn't able to hit Khabib solidly. Khabib is kinda awkward fighter but he is indeed giving conor an headache. I guess Conor should fight few different people in that division for awhile for a warm up before asking for a rematch. Yet Conor is already looking forward for a rematch as he posted on twitter.
It was really a bad match up to McGregor. We all know that the moment he gets Conor to the ground, there's little chance that he can get up because of Khabib's ability to smash or choke you up on the ground. Which we really see in the fight.

Exactly, I remember Conor calling Khabib, "smelly rat from Dagestan", that might be one of the reasons why Khabib is really mad (including some of his team mates) causing them to be emotional. So even after the fight, some of them chase McGregor and hit him from behind. He usually back it up with fist, but Khabib is too much for this Irish trash talker.

^^ hilariousandco, I think this is different. Khabib and a couple of other guys commited at least three cases of battery live on PPV in front of 25m - 50m viewers worldwide. I don't know if Khabib will get off this one lightly. I don't think it's that much different at all. Conor smashing up the bus unprovoked is just as bad. Doesn't matter whether there are cameras or not, but people obviously have their biases. Khabib shouldn't have done what he did, but I'm not sure we can say he is 100% responsible for what his team do either on the night and probably had little to no control over what they did. I'm sure there's much more to this that we actually know right now as well. McGregor's only hope is if he takes this fight into his own game which he needs to be standing up right with both of his hands prepared to strike a KO, that is if he is smart to do so or if his body can, it also depends on how Khabib will play this out. McGregor is really the underdog here as his last match in the octagon being two years will really put him in a disadvantage in terms of experience and him having a big break in his pro mma career will also be a big factor as his fight IQ might not be as good as Khabib's. It would be a miracle to see him win this bout.
You are wrong. Khabib's fight IQ is very much lower than Conor's fight IQ. I am not telling you this because I like Conor more than Khabib, I like both of them. But Khabib is a 1 dimensional person, while Conor McGregor is a deep thinker and has studied more on the soft skills of martial arts and combat more than Khabib. Conor is an open thinker and has used different techniques to improve his martial arts. An example of this is learning the movements of Ido Portal which as something that he was ridiculed in the MMA community. But it worked as witnessed in his fight versus Jose Aldo. Doesn't matter how one dimensional you are if it wins you fights. Khabib is undefeated, so it's obviously working. Conor should have worked his magic whilst he was standing. The better fighter won here. Ido Portal seems to be a gimmick to me and I'm not sure how he had anything to do with Conor's one-punch knock out of Aldo. Conor might be able to move like liquid before the fight but he's not jumping around the ring like spiderman during it. If he actually used those skills to avoid getting hit or taken down then I might give more credit to Portal.

I think Connor wasn't trained properly this time around, I know he had time to train but apparently he did not used it properly, still that was a disappointing match...The fact is Khabib was fighting while Connor was doing publicity stunts like that boxing match, Connor has been gone for a too long time for a fighter, fighters needs to keep fighting and constantly be on their craft to stay on top yet Connor was doing all sorts of crazy stuff while Khabib was fighting and training in between.
Now, this match is over I can clearly say if Connor was a person who kept up and fight and trained and not go crazy with hookers and cocaine he could have been the best in the business but this fight showed me that Khabib didn't beat Connor, Connor beat himself.

In hindsight, Khabib should have tried to win the crowd by taking the moral high ground after his victory. He should have extended his hand to McGregor to help him get up then bowed on McGregor's feet as an act of showing respect and gratitude for giving him the honor of fighting him. That would've raised Khabib's status in the UFC and in sports in general imho. Khabib: 'Check mate b*tch!'. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I think on a better day Khabib wouldn't stand a chance against Conor but hey! it happens!

Money just blinds our guy, and his era it's over. About Khabib... that was the most respectfulness action i have ever seen on UFC, you can't just jump out of the cage and start kicking and punching people, was a nice show but wasn't ethic, that way people will just hate more that guy (cos people already hate him). And the worst part was to see how police take out the fighters and no belt was given on the octagon. We can call it a happy end, with time UFC is becoming the new WWE, freaking drama show. and it's sad because we don't want that.

I cant really blame Khabib even though trashtalking is just a normal thing before the fight but it did really touched the pride of Khabib and even on his team but that royale rumble shouldnt really happen.It do really shows out no respect to the opponent and into the sports itself. Khabib might have a good record but if people or UFC fans would have negative impressions on you then it would really be an awkward career for sure.

I believe that this is not about the vacancy from fighting because once a fighter will always a fighter and there are still training happening even theres no actual fight Let’s accept the reality that mcgregor is old enough and very confident to the extent of underestimating the opponent,and never took the idea of conor only making a money in every fight now,just like what he does when he duel with maywewther in boxing ring

Boring fight, didn’t enjoy that at all. All Khabib wants to do is take it onto the ground, that’s not fighting, it’s some faggot hugging, rolling around rubbish.
For me fighting is about standing up & going toe to toe with your opponent. I can’t respect a style like that.
Wrestling is part of MMA, if you only like striking then stick to boxing. Unfortunately, we all know Khabib was going to try to become a leech and use his bodyweight and superior sambo skills to drain all of Conor's energy, which is known to gas out fast. But there was definitely something wrong with the guy yesterday. His timming was off. Perhaps it was a consequence of the constant threat of Khabib's takedowns, it was too much mental pressure to handle. He had some good takedown defense on the first round and was able to get out of it without damage, however by round 2 he was already tired. By round 3 his energy levels were too low to be a threat against Khabib standing up. I think there will be a rematch. He has to get his cardio issues together, it's been happening for too long. Without endurance and polishing timming and keep practicing takedown defense, he can't win this damn guy. I think Tony Ferguson can end Khabib's undefeated record. He has the endurance that Conor lacks.

I have seen everyone ridiculing connor for the fight because he was not capable of defending himself against a take down and everyone talking about where khabib is from and how he did not take the insults very well and he fought really hard while connor was just making a joke out of this whole thing.
However, people are forgetting that khabib was fighting and winning while connor was out drinking and probably doing harder drugs and didn't fought anyone worthy just an exhibition match against mayweather. Connor at his worst took beating for 4 rounds and still manage to see the light at the end of the tunnel until one bad move.
If connor really prepared for years like khabib did instead of just publicity stunts, connor seems like the better fighter to me. He just needs stage time and training and he will kick anyones butt in the ring.

There is no excuses in this game... you either win or lose. Conor must improve his breathing, he is breathing too much from the mouth earlier in rounds, he became exhausted. His striking is great but without proper oxygenation in your brain your reaction time goes down, that coupled with takedown threat made Khabib able to land a good right that rocked him. Conor should also use footwork to dodge the takedowns. There was one takedown that was from a big distance. Probably like I said before, this was due low stamina decreasing reaction time. Also apparently Conor already called Dana for a rematch. He is crazy.
