Anyone else annoyed of Conor vs Gaethje?

I for one would like to see Khabib face at least 1 high level wrestler in his career, Justin poses threats to Khabib that hasn't had to deal with yet, which is crazy.

Stylistically Justin matches up well with Khabib, where as stylistically Conor matches up very well against Justin.

I get Ali wanting to get a huge pay day in Conor vs Justin, and protecting his golden eagle, and I get Justin being to dumb to see it. But come on, Justin is tailor-made for Conor, it'll be Conor vs Eddie 2, and all it does is knock off a good stylistic threat to Khabib.

Has justin ever wrestled in a UFC fight?
 
If the fight gets signed it is a great fight. This is what fans wanted instead of Cowboy right?

Tony won't offer much in TDD, I am interested because Tony won't break, and when Khabib won't be able to catch his breath against Tony like he did against Dustin and Conor.

Tony has a very active bottom game, and as soon as your comes off the pedal a little, than he pushes harder, this is where I feel Tony poses the biggest threat.

But in terms of being able to stuff Khabib's TD's and keep it standing, well, not even his own coaches believe that.

Many on this site knock Jon Jones for not moving up to fight HW. Some say he can't be considered GOAT without doing that. How come very few say Khabib needs to move to WW to be GOAT? Why do Usman or Covington need to drop down to fight him. Why can't Khabib move up? To soon in his career maybe? :confused:

People say that to counter the ones claiming that Anderson Silva is a coward for not fighting Jones, which was something people only said to counter those who claimed that GSP was a coward for not fighting Anderson Silva.
Now that GSP vs Khabib is a huge potential fight, the whole blaming game has gone full circle, so there's no pressure on the Eagle at this moment.
 
I dunno, Justin's gameplan seems to be to outscramble Khabib. If you are going to beat Khabib it's gonna be a tall fucking order doing it in his realm.
 
Imagine not understanding that the UFC roster is nowhere near the depth it attempts to portray, nor strictly follows any ranking system.

Just enjoy the fights for the stylistic hype and don't even worry about titles and legitimacy. That shit never existed anway.

Conrad/Gaethje is a spectacular matchup and a legit fight back at LW for the Irishman. Hope it happens.
 
I'd like to see Khabib vs Gathje more, yeah, but Conor vs Gaethje is also tremendous. I'd feel like a real picky douche criticizing that match up, even if it's at 170lbs.

Actually not in wrestling, I think there's literally a handful in history that has ever done well in the NCAA, it's very rare.

I don't understand how you can accuse me of calling Al a bum, I never said he was a bum, I said his wrestling accolades aren't impressive, which they aren't when he is in a talent pool with NCAA D1 all Americans, Olympic medalists, and so on.

Also in my personal opinion, I think Khabib is overrated with his Al performance, who stuffed majority of his TD's, while training for a 3 round kickboxing bout.

My only point is, Justin should have an easier time keeping it standing than Al did, or could, and that could give Khabib a lot of problems, something I'm interested in seeing how Khabib deals with.

Everyone thought Brock was unstoppable, until he faced Carwin and Cain, guys he couldn't easily out wrestle.

What happens to Khabib when he faces someone who can do the same?? Or will he go through an entire career without answering that question?

Edson is not a good wrestler and was wreslte raped several times. And Al is not a great wrestler, and again trained for a 3 round kick boxing match.
 
Anyone saying Gaethje doesn't have a chance against McGregor are fooling themselves.

Also, I suspect a rematch with Poirier vs McGregor is in the cards, somewhere down the line. Dustin for sure has put in the work since his fight with Conor 5 1/2 years ago.

Gaethje has had 3 first round stoppages since his 2 losses to Poirier and Alvarez. He has improved and will continue to improve. Justin's leg kicks in the exchange and his wrestling threat will be deciding factors again Conor.

I'd rather see the best fights possible asap. And Gaethje for sure deserves the Conor fight.
Dunno what is there to complain about. Conor won't need to fight wrestlers as there currently isn't one who deserves a fight against him.

There's plenty at 170 when it's convenient for Conor to fight there.

Justin doesn't wrestle.. He can but chooses not to.. His fight IQ is atrocious. And what does his top game look like? He never shows it. Conor can't get up? He stuffed numerous TD's from Khabib. Please Bro..
