p sure i've seen highlights of khabib's early days and he is just thumping guys with headbutts while on top

i imagine he would turn conor's head to a mush, maybe a jelly, if the rulesets were expanded

Pena has a chance given that she can be a tireless grappler and Nunes has struggled in the past with that.

Nunes will still knock her into next month but she might actually break a sweat.

yeah the first fight wasn't such a blowout that i'm confident about conor having no chance. if he's got an answer for the calf kick then i've got it 50/50.

He'll also need an answer for Dustin's grappling and Dustin noticing that Conor only ever throws two punches.

All of Conor's wins come in the first round and a half and he's now rematching a guy who beat him within the first round and a half. A guy who has fought, repeatedly, and looked really loving good in five round fights that he won largely by being able to fight at a consistent pace that entire time.

Lightweight has a spectacular ability to have people who are on really impressive win streaks at one point get ignominiously crushed ten minutes later. I'm thinking of all the fighters we've seen on long winstreaks who then barely win in the UFC again. Guillard and Sotiropolous. Or guys who get dereailed and can never get it back, like Dunham or Barboza.

honestly khabib figured out what to do in a monster division like lw - as soon as people think you're the best, start fighting once a year, let all the contenders pummel each other and then by fighting the guy on top of that pile you've beaten a bunch of other people by association. without actually having to fight a bunch of lightweights, take a bunch of damage in training, and lose unexpectedly anyway because it's mma.

the best foul from the khabib fight was the knee because conor would later take to twitter to subtly imply that if knees to the head of a grounded opponent were legal he could have won the fight. as if making the strike legal wouldn't lead to khabib incorporating the strike into his own ground game

https://twitter.com/TheNotoriousMMA/status/1319079525133783041

I reckon he could have hit Khabib with those for another 2 minutes without actually hurting him.

Fun little vid of Bobby Knuckles ranking things. My wife is Aussie, and I agree with the top 4 of his top 5 most dangerous animals in Australia. Really pulling for him, but he's got a LOT of accumulated damage at this point of his career. It seems he gets wobbled in every fight he's in, but man when he wins it's something special.

Love the sound bite at 2:19

There's "Hurt" like ow that hurts, and there's MMA "Hurt" which usually means getting wobbly on your feet or getting knocked out if it's in a weird ground exchange like that.

Birchak gets slammed to the ground, takes 75 undefended shots to the side of the head while the commentators scream,"It's over! It's over! The fight is done 3 minutes into round 1!".

Finally the referee leaps in to take action: "Hey. Defend yourself!"
