Yoel Romero couldn’t do much with his wrestling, can’t see weidman, who’s become a bit of a yeoman in the USADA era, doing much more than him. Definitely short on options in this weight class.

Whittaker v Cannonier is a good fight as well, should be a good cardDasNutNock2 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 22, 2020 10:26 am Khabib vs Justin this weekend. No idea how this one’s going to pan out, but has the ingredients of an absolute barn burner (or equally possibly a tedious stalemate).

Re: UFC
BT Sport as well, but shouldn't be difficult to get a link to a snide feed. Pre-prelims at 3:15, Prelims at 5pm, and Main Card at 7pm tomorrow, I'll paste up a link as soon as I get one.
Starting to think that this could be Khabib's biggest test yet. Gaethje is really starting to peak as a fighter, as demonstrated by his absolute clobbering of Ferguson a few months back, and clearly has the better stand up of the two. Khabib appears to be vulnerable to forward pressure from his opponent, and if Justin can walk him down, he could well win this. If Khabib wins, it ties for the most title defences in LW history, takes him to a barely believable 29-0 and if he gets it, IMO, he earns the title "greatest MMA fighter ever". If Justin wins, it blows the division wide open, and sends him to the top of the p4p rankings (Jon Jones is #1 at the moment, but that's bull**** - he's a filthy cheat, and Khabib is #1).

Re: UFC
OK cheers, I do think this could be kabibs biggest test and Justin will catch him some shots on the stand up, it's just weather justin can stop the relentless take downs, I just hope it's a good fight and kabib dosent completely dominate itDasNutNock2 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 8:28 pm BT Sport as well, but shouldn't be difficult to get a link to a snide feed.

Re: UFC
Aye, shame that. Can't see him going back on his word, either, he's not a publicity-seeking cretin like McGregor or an idiot with his money like Tyron Woodley.
As for Khabib's position in the all-time list, he's got to be up there. Only thing that goes against him is he never fought out of his weight class, only defended the belt 3 times (would probably have been longer if White had stripped Conor of the belt when he was off chasing Mayweather Money), and perhaps didn't face the same level of competition as the other candidates. But ultimately 29-0 is an unbelievable record, that will almost certainly never be beaten. Have to exclude Jon Jones & Anderson from the argument, because they're both PED cheats, which really only leaves Fedor and GSP.
