Nah I even prefer Khabib to Conor. I can't stand that guy.
The MMA thread
- Thread starter Fortitude
- Start date
He's so genuine
He’s the Irishman that everyone should love instead of that coked up feck-head from Crumlin.
You sound like you have a man-crush on Felder?
Main event time... holy shit.
I take hugger to mean more that he has one style only. If, and it will never happen, he met a good striker that could stop his wrestling he would be murdered very quickly. For example a Conor that can stop his wrestling beats Khabib's ass on the feet without breaking a sweat. His style is 'hugging' but it's highly effective and unstoppable hugging and he's the best lightweight of all time by a distance.
Man very few Irish people outside of the lads that are like Conor are fans of him any more. We all loved him when he was on his rise because he hadn't fully shown who he is at that time. Most people here dislike him now in my experience. I switched to Whittaker as my favourite a good while ago.
When does Khabib become Royce Gracie legendary? If he wins tonight? If he beats Ferguson? I’m pretty sure Royce, Rickson is would struggle today.
This is what I like about ufc, they move through the fights pretty quick. Feels like a much more dynamic event than big boxing events
Amazing how good we feel when there’s no football.
I actually look forward to weekends where United don't play! 
Anyway let's hope for a good fight!He's already the best LW ever and a potential GOAT. He's below Jones. GSP and Fedor for me simply because of his one dimensional style but that style is enough to kill everybody so he may be the best!
It's used as a loaded and derogatory term, inferring that striking is somehow more noble or skilful, which it isn't.
'Strikers' should try boxing, if they dare ever complain about grapplers.
And no-one will ever beat Khabib easily.

Really? Honestly, I still see plenty of Conor fans.. The excuses are getting bad though.. that’s the second 50+ year old man he punched after losing consecutively.
And I’ve started Conor appropriation thread... Saying that, I’ve a propensity to start shit threads that end up horribly wrong.
Here we go!
Come on Dustin!
Oh undoubtedly and it's unfortunate but I guess it's like being a Jose team in football, it comes with the territory. He's unbelievable and I love watching him.
I was a Conor fan. He has shown his true colours since he broke through though. He's just a scumbag. I can't stand him and I don't think he is loved in Ireland at all anymore... only by his entourage or other scumbags.
From my experience we have started to dislike him but I guess the dickheads are always the loudest!! Anyway enjoy the fight man. I reckon Khabib sub in the 4th!
I really dislike Khabib. He's a scumbag like McGregor. I can't stand Ferguson either !
Porier seems like a great guy that. I'd love him to win but I can't see it.

Enjoy lads!!!
Feel the same man!! Dustin is my last great 'good guy' hope!
Doubt he can do it though.Buffer needs to chill
Gonna be a great fight. I want Khabib to win but i get a feeling he gets a little too cocky standing up and gets tagged n put away. Dustin with a round 3 tko
Aye, by fecking downtrodden dwellers from council flats that he occasionally visits. He’s a lunatic, the fact that he keeps going back to that lifestyle, is absolutely extraordinary.
Buffer makes me hard
Great it's over. No letting go
Why he let go?
Smeshing first round.
Khabib 10-9
Khabib 10-9
Brutal scary thrashing by Khabib to Poirier in first round
Khabib is way too good.
Too good
Will this be this onesided?
Are people surprised?
HOW do you beat this guy.
I'm getting McGregor flashbacks
Poirier had Khabib under pressure there and just gave up the takedown. Did he gas already? His last few throws were slow and sluggish.
Yeah thought that, no surprise if he had a bit though considering the heat and what he had to defend in the 1st
