Exactly the way I thought it would go. Rob too technical and wins by avoiding Cannonier’s power. Rematch with Adesanya needs to happen next.

 

Just about that timeeeee

 

My heart is not ready

 

I get the same feeling watching Khabib fight that I used to get watching Fedor/Anderson/GSP.

Was never a gigantic fan of any of them but i would always get anxiety wondering if someone will finally get the job done.

 

I remember Weidman vs Silva 1 felt like the most insane thing to ever happen in MMA at the time. Khabib’s defeat would hold the same weight.

 

K1 Khabib

 

Incredible

 

Holy shit

 

Man. That’s crazy. Khabib is truly the greatest lightweight of all time. Potentially greatest fighter of all time.

I don’t want it to happen, but I do wonder if this entices GSP to fight.

 

LETS FUCKING GOO!!!!

 

I love Khabib. Really tough to watch him after the fight. Got me all emotional. What a warrior.

 

Khabib is something else. Wow!

 

oh my god he’s retiring

 

Wow dude.

 

Damn. That was sad.

 

Honestly, going into 2021 it feels more like the end of an era than it should. We’re about to watch Silva retire too. Going into the new year we’re looking at new championship runs in 6 different divisions. The eventual end of Jones/Miocic with one of them retiring surely. Bittersweet how good of a year it is in so many ways.

 

Who gets the title fight for 155?

 

with the promo they gave him, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Gaethje/Chandler

 

If it was anyone but Khabib, I’d say he would unretire at some point to try and make it 30-0.

He left no questions about his dominance. I don’t think there’s a lightweight in the world that would have anything for him.

 

Happy for Whittaker

Khabib just continues to amaze me. His grappling is just on another level. Unreal.

 

Idk what they’re gonna do for the vacant belt but I’d imagine Chandler will be in that fight.

 

What are the chances they make Conor v Dustin for the belt? Would be dumb imo but the ufc would love to keep boosting that fight I’m sure

 

I could see it happening haha

 

Scorecards are out and Justin did take the first round on 2/3 judges cards.

 

Really? I thought Khabib won the first round pretty easily
