I broke my foot 3 weeks out from the bout.
I still marched forward however, and also landed the final blows of the night.
On his blood brother.
I am happy with how the contest went and the lessons learned.
In my fighting and more importantly my preparation.
Time will reveal all.

:eek: :roll:

GOAT.

[Dr Seuss]

why is he retweeting a guy with 9 followers :lol

That

[red1]

yeah yeah yeah broken foot alright


That’s it. Next fight, Khabibistan and his towel wife are going down.
and so will you - on your knees like that fakkit that you are :roll:

I don't get it. Some fights you watch, and you're left thinking maybe it could have gone another way. JDS-Cain p1, and GSP-Hughes p1 come to mind. Then there are fights like McGregor-Alvarez where you know damn well the better fighter just outclassed his opponent, and could do it again and again. Khabib did that to Conor. He took him down, rocked him, beat him up, and choked him out. Never was in trouble. Completely controlled the fight even with Conor cheating the whole time (grabbing gloves, grabbing the cage, illegal knee). It was decisive and one-sided. There's no point for it to still be a discussion topic. Khabib > Conor and the world keeps turning.

That's not something to joke about.

Here's an example:




As for `Ad, they were arrogant in the land without right and they said: 'Who is mightier than us in strength?' See they not that Allah Who created them was mightier in strength than them. And they used to deny Our Ayat!
So, We sent upon them a Sarsar wind in days of calamity that We might give them a taste of disgracing torment in this present worldly life. But surely the torment of the Hereafter will be more disgracing, and they will never be helped.
And as for Thamud, We showed them the path of truth but they preferred blindness to guidance; so the Sa`iqah of disgracing torment seized them because of what they used to earn.
And We saved those who believed and had Taqwa. Qur'an, Surah Fussilat (41:15-18)
Explanation:
"As for `Ad, they were arrogant in the land without right." means, they were arrogant, stubborn and disobedient.
"and they said: 'Who is mightier than us in strength?'" They boasted of their physical strength, and power; they thought that this would protect them from Allah's punishment.
"See they not that Allah Who created them was mightier in strength than them." Means, do they not realize, when they are showing enmity, that He is the Almighty Who created all things and gave them whatever strength they have, and that His onslaught will be far greater? This is like the Ayah: "With Hands did We construct the heaven. Verily, We are able to extend the vastness of space thereof." (51:47)
They openly opposed the Almighty and denied His signs and disobeyed His Messenger. Allah said: "So We sent upon them a Sarsar wind." Some said that this was strongly blowing wind; others said that it was a cold wind. It was also said that it is the wind that makes a noise. The truth that it was all of these things, for it was a strong wind that was an apt punishment for their being deceived by their physical strength. It was also intensely cold, as Allah says:
"with a Sarsar wind!" (69:6), meaning a very cold wind. It also made a furious sound. Additionally, there is a famous river in the east which is called Sarsar because of the noise it makes as it flows.
"in days of calamity" means, consecutive days.
"seven nights and eight days in succession" (69:7). This is like the Ayah:
"on a day of calamity, continuous" (54:19) i.e., the punishment began on a day which was of evil omen for them, and this evil omen continued for them,
"that We might give them a taste of disgracing torment in this present worldly life. But surely the torment of the Hereafter will be more disgracing." meaning, more humiliating for them.
"and they will never be helped." means, in the Hereafter, just as they were never helped in this world, and they had no one who could protect them from Allah or save them from His punishment.
"And as for Thamud, We showed them the path of truth" - Ibn 'Abbas, Abu Al-Aliyah, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Qatadah, As-Suddi and Ibn Zayd (may Allah be please with them) said, "We explained to them." [At-Tabari 21:448 Surah Hud 11:94] Ath-Thawri said, "We called them."
Allah's saying: "but they preferred blindness to guidance;" means, 'We showed them the truth and made it clear to them through the words of their Prophet Salih, but they opposed him and rejected him, and they slaughtered the she-camel of Allah which He had made a sign for them of the truth of their Prophet.'
"so the Sa`iqah of disgracing torment seized them" means, Allah sent upon them the Sa`iqah, [See volume five, the Tafser of Surah Hud 11:94] earthquake, intense humiliation, punishment and torment.
"because of what they used to earn" means, because of their disbelief and rejection.
"And We saved those who believed" means, 'We saved them from among them, and no harm came to them;' Allah saved them along with His Prophet Salih, peace be upon him, because of their fear of Allah.

Conor's mistake was not fighting for 2 yrs and coming back against an undefeated champ and the best fighter in the division. You have to be smarter than that. Also, he apparently didn't learn anything from the Floyd fight. How do you keep fighting with your hands down after getting KO'd?

[coin24]

That's not something to joke about.


That's right, the religion of no fun or joking around. Just strict rules, no flexibility and punishment by death:cheers:

[hold this L]

Hasn't he lost 3 of his last 4 matches? :lol Why are we still talking about that drunk idiot?

He didn't get KO'd against Floyd.

Also nothing in the Floyd fight would have taught him anything that would help against Khabib. Even the overhand that he caught in r2 was very much NOT a boxing strike - any boxing gym in the world is gonna train that punch out of a fighter. It worked because of the threat of the takedown...

If anything, his mistake was boxing at all. Training for Floyd Mayweather must have forced him to adopt habits which would be detrimental once stepping back in the cage... especially against the arguably best grappler in the game.

But it's boxing where he made his biggest payday...

In the end, his legacy suffered because he was more interested in money, and his celebrity ballooned faster than he knew how to control.

wrestlers and submission artists generally tend to be better than elite strikers

Even the strikers who have the greatest success are either elite wrestlers who are impossible to take/keep down (Chuck Liddell) or bjj blackbelts who can submit you if you try (Anderson Silva). In fighting, grappling is the cornerstone. Wrestling and bjj are the premier martial arts on Earth (and Sambo).

It was a TKO...which is a technical KO. He would have been KOed for good though if the ref let the fight go any longer.

Very true :applause:

Not close to true.

This is only the case in the UFC and cage fighting. Wrestling becomes far less effective in a ring, like Pride rules, where they can't pin up as easy against the cage then work for a single leg, or execute a takedown with palms locked.
