UFC 242: Khabib vs Poirier Thread

[AirTupac]

Anyone know what time the main title fight will be?

They say the pay per view will start at 2pm (its in Abu Dhabi or some shit)

[FreezingTsmoove]

Khabib is finally going to get his ass beat. Dude has faced nothing but shit tier opponents his entire career and hes finally going to get challenged. I have him winning but Dustin will beat his ass too

Idk bro. Khabib has mauled everyone. He'll maul as usual.

[Patrick Chewing]

Khabib will be hard to KO with that giant Neanderthal head he has.

2 hours after start should get you in comfortably before the main event. If there were a lot of decisions you might end up watching all of the Felder fight. Flip side...If there are quick finishes like Masvidal-Askren that might speed it up though. Hope that helps.

It's exciting no doubt... but am I the only one who has trouble seeing a path to victory for Jorge? I like him, but Diaz seems impossible to KO and obviously has the advantage in both cardio and ground game.

Well that was tough to score but Felder was pushing the whole time so I could see the argument.

[Charlie Sheen]

I like Felder, and the decision was fair. Surely not a 30-27 the third judge had it though.

[AirTupac]

I like Felder, and the decision was fair. Surely not a 30-27 the third judge had it though.


Barboza had the 1st round and more takedowns but he lost 2nd and 3rd round so I agree. Felder had a lot more significant strikes in the 3rd too.

[Prometheus]

Tough decision. Felt like Edson won the first two rounds. But I like it in the sense that it seemed Felder would have won if we had a five rounder. He was gaining momentum and felt close to a finish in round three.

At the end of the day, I think that was a "we want a trilogy" decision.

Tony cant beat khabib.

Its gonna be ths same song, with tony doing weird shit during exchanges.

Khabibs grappling is out of Tony's league. Tony got bullied by Kevin Lee before the triangle choke.

That pre fight stuff will be glorious, the actual fight will be underwhelming and dominant in khabibs favor

It's becoming increasingly obvious that Khabib will be the mma GOAT.

He's the best in the world at a skill that's impossible to defend or prepare for. I was always partial to Jones, but he's had close decisions. And the steroid thing taints his legacy. Khabib is just straight up dominant against motivated killers. Never gotten anywhere close to losing. He's arguably never even lost a round.

Some people might find his style boring, but he's undeniably the most dominant ATM.. and looks to just now be entering his peak years. :applause:


GSP, Silva, and Jones can move aside... Khabib is the one and only

[Prometheus]

It's a sport, so it goes by weight class.

The best heavyweight is not automatically the GOAT.

What he said about Khabib is 100% accurate.

[Shogon]

Yes and no.

Khabib is probably quickly approaching clearly the best when you disregard weight and just look at skill and ability but if there were some round robin massive tournament by all guys in MMA history, it's 100% factual that Khabib loses to multiple heavyweights because his skills and abilities aren't enough to overcome that level of weight difference.

So who is really better? It depends entirely on how you want to look at it.

The NBA, for example, doesn't have divisions for guys with 40" verticals, divisions for guys with 30" verticals, and so on... everyone plays everyone.

The only reason it happens in MMA is because it must happen in MMA because otherwise guys like Khabib wouldn't have careers because they wouldn't be able to compete.

That's not a real argument though


Fighting has been long established as a sport with weight classes, and you judge fighters within those parameters. Come on man.

[Shogon]

It is a real argument because if you put those two guys head to head Khabib would get his ass beat real bad. It's not an argument that I'm going to argue in favor for as something I support necessarily, I'm just saying it is an argument.

Weight divisions are nothing other than man trying to make something fair that inherently isn't fair... size difference.

Again, the ONLY reason it happens in fighting sports is because it HAS to otherwise a shit ton of people wouldn't be able to compete and they wouldn't have careers.

It's done for financial reasons and that's it.

You can say Khabib is the pound for pound GOAT, but you it's not exactly fair to say he is the GOAT.

[AirTupac]

Rewatched Khabib vs Barboza. Its amazing how he DESTROYS everyone. He literally mauled Barboza within 1 minute and it was game over.

There's an established criteria for which people discuss the greatness of fighters. Your argument goes outside of said criteria thus is invalid

So the entirety of your argument is "that's how things have always been done so that's what it is!" despite the fact that you know how ridiculous that is.

In other words, you don't have an argument because you know I'm right.

Khabib would get absolutely smoked by people that never even sniffed championship belts lol.

Shaquille O'Neal would beat Khabib in a mma fight.

You're literally arguing against the entire structure of combat sports by disregarding weight when discussing greatness. I'm saying that's silly and is irrelevant to my original argument/take

Tony is the only one that deserves the fight.

He has the best bottom game in mma, so being on his back is not an issue. Y'all nikkas need to learn, no one is unbeatable. I'd take Tony in that fight. He's the best LW in the world imo.

Shaquille O'Neal would beat Khabib in a mma fight.

While you're right that many heavyweights who have never come close to a title fight would, this is really unlikely. He would likely get single-legged and subbed pretty quickly.

Go look up some of the superfights they used to have in PrideFC. It is not always a given that the big guy wins. You're a foot taller than me, but I could most likely beat you.

Shaq would probably beat Khabib in a fight to the death though.

You have to be trolling.

This is on the level of the people that used to claim Rousey would beat Mayweather in a fight.

You could start the fight with Khabib on his back as Shaq lays on him and Khabib would break his arm and take control of his back and choke him to death.

There is not a scenario in which any non professional fighter would ever beat Khabib in a fight.

Khabib is the GOAT grappler and there's no defense for it.

[AlternativeAcc.]

To be fair I think Khabib wins in a fight to death. Khabib has unlimited stamina compared to Shaq. Shaq would literally die of exhaustion :oldlol:

[Shogon]

Are we talking about present day Shaq or 30 year old Shaq(Khabib's age)? Either way Khabib doesn't win in a fight to the death. It's just that at 30, Shaq ends it significantly faster.

If you give Shaq just enough training that he's not doing illegal shit, he'd win in an MMA fight also.

I'm not entirely sure you guys have a genuine appreciation for the weight difference. We're not talking about 10, 25, 50 lbs here. We're talking about 150+ lbs difference easily... and at times, the difference was/is 250 lbs... and Shaq was an elite athlete.

It's different types of conditioning, for sure, but to say that Shaq at his peak wasn't as well conditioned as Khabib is laughable. The stress on Shaq's circulatory system at his peak compared to the stress on Khabib's circulatory system is ALSO lol.

[Shogon]

The one type of fight Shaq couldn't just waltz in and win would be... boxing. He'd likely lose off of points even to significantly smaller guys. But nobody like Khabib or McGregor could box him and knock him out.

Mayweather could go on the offensive and still not be able to knock Shaq out.

Just wouldn't happen.

There are heavyweights, however, that are still coughing up 80+ lbs that WOULD be able to KO Shaq no problem... Tyson, for example.

2. The video in question is a grappling match, not a fight. Khabib would beat Forrest Griffin in 100/100 grappling matches. They might both be MMA fighters, but the difference in their grappling prowess is incredible.

3. Shaq never had dominant position in that quick, silly little exhibition. He never passed guard, not even halfway. You don't understand a lick of it. Just because you are on top does not mean you are dominant.

4. I have been saying that Shaq would win in a fight to the death. But in an MMA fight, he is unlikely to beat Khabib. Puncher's chance is his only hope, honestly. He is going to lose to either a choke or a leg lock of some sort.

Irrelevant. Shaq had at least one season of 400 lbs in his playing days. Khabib couldn't deal with that.

Yeah, I do. And guess what? Even with his old out of shape ass, you couldn't put Forest Griffin in a half guard, and Shaq did it with absolute ease.

You give peak Shaq 6 months to 1 year to train and you can take Khabib's entire 30 years of life around MMA fighting and throw it out the window because he would get pinned down on the canvas so fast your head would spin.

I don't give a f uck what Forrest F ucking Griffin said to be funny.

He's a clown. He's always been a funny guy.

And he's not even close at no point in his career to being an elite UFC fighter.

He was a fun guy Dana got behind because people liked him.

He was mauled by elite fighters.

Shut up.

[SomeBlackDude]

Irrelevant. Shaq had at least one season of 400 lbs in his playing days. Khabib couldn't deal with that.

don't think shaq was ever that heavy. think his max was in the 350 range.

speaking of- hong man-choi (7'2" 355 lbs) vs ikuhisa minowa (5'9" 185lbs) (https://youtu.be/Q7M5Vsei6R0?t=403)

plenty of examples in fight sports of smaller men overcoming ridiculous size/weight disadvantages and winning.

khabib is like 3 levels above minowa as a fighter and choi has infinitely more fight experience than shaq.

not crazy to think khabib would win and do it very easily.

[stalkerforlife]

And Khabib is not tiny, you MMA simpleton. He cuts drastic weight.

He walks around at 175+.

[stalkerforlife]

Are we talking about present day Shaq or 30 year old Shaq(Khabib's age)? Either way Khabib doesn't win in a fight to the death. It's just that at 30, Shaq ends it significantly faster.

If you give Shaq just enough training that he's not doing illegal shit, he'd win in an MMA fight also.

I'm not entirely sure you guys have a genuine appreciation for the weight difference. We're not talking about 10, 25, 50 lbs here. We're talking about 150+ lbs difference easily... and at times, the difference was/is 250 lbs... and Shaq was an elite athlete.

It's different types of conditioning, for sure, but to say that Shaq at his peak wasn't as well conditioned as Khabib is laughable. The stress on Shaq's circulatory system at his peak compared to the stress on Khabib's circulatory system is ALSO lol.

Done with you on MMA talk.

Never again.

[Prometheus]

He didn't put Forrest in half guard :lol you don't know what these terms even mean

[stalkerforlife]

Can we all agree that Shogon is to be hereby banned from discussing fighting, on account of a variety of utterly retarded takes?

Absolutely.

But you're close, too.

Sick of the BS.

[Prometheus]

Absolutely.

But you're close, too.

Nah.

You're a casual fan at best who thinks you're an elite fighter with no training :oldlol:

Look how quickly 400lb 6'8 Mountain was gassed within 60 sec of playfully sparring McGregor


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aaehn1aY8Ig



that doesnt really tell us anything...

for one, mcgregor is a striker not a wrestler and couldnt do shit because he cant even reach his head.

two, shaq in his prime was a much, much, much better athlete than "the mountain" who is just a weight lifter. looks like he can barely move.

[AirTupac]

Youre an absolute retard if you think Shaq would beat Khabib lol.

[tpols]

people think its just a size thing, but shaq is (was) fast.

way faster than any of the goons that people have brought up.

[stalkerforlife]

Nah.

You're a casual fan at best who thinks you're an elite fighter with no training :oldlol:

You're a clown.

You saying Shaq would beat Khabib in a fight to death shows how simple you are on the subject.

Khabib would break his limbs and then take his back and choke him to death as Shaq is in excruciating pain.

You're a novice.

And McGregor would knock Shaq out in a BOXING match with MMA gloves.

EASY to avoid Shaq's pathetic haymakers and then he'd light his chin up with a quickness as Shaq is winded and can't avoid the onslaught.

You're DONE.

choi has an actual professional fight record, in both mma and kickboxing. he also competed for years in ssireum. comparing shaq, a complete novice with 0 experience, to him is an insult really.

hong man choi is one of those gargantuan medieval mfers they throw in the ring as a circus act for skilled fighters to chop down.

he probably has a tumor on his pituatary gland or some type of medical condition that got him that big which explains his terrible athleticism.

shaq lacks skill, but if taught for even just a little bit he'd be a force. he never had to fight anyone because hes so big.

prove it.

just because the dude is huge and is great at basketball, doesn't mean he can fight.

from all the evidence i've seen, shaq can't even be called a bad fighter... he hasn't earned that distinction.

there is absolutely no evidence that shaq could beat khabib's sparring partner's sparring partner in a fight, let alone one of the best fighters in the world.

but if you have evidence that says otherwise anywhere, show me.

would be much obliged.

The friendship between prom, Shogon, and myself is very fluid.

At anytime, we can turn on each other.

Alphas do not d ick ride during disagreements.

We're not RRR3, Simon, highwhey, etc.

We stand alone like alpha wolves.

Same goes for my boy SomeBlackDude, we can turn on each other at any moment.

But my boy SBD obviously has a higher fight IQ than those two.

warriorfan and I don't argue even if we disagree; we're both certified killers and we have an unspoken agreement. Same for egokiller. We don't d ick ride, but we'll simply overlook things to keep the peace because we're all killers and lives are at risk.

I compare it too USA and Russia during the Cold War. Both sides knew what was at stake and they knew nothing good could come out of it so they kept it cool

[iamgine]

When talking about a fighter vs a non fighter, it helps to remember that the non fighter would very likely be terrified and nervous. Adrenaline would rush and his legs turn to jelly. He would then likely freeze and just cover up, especially once the real punches landed. This is like when you speak in front of an audience for the first time and your joke falls flat. It's likely you freeze afterwards regardless of how much you've practiced.

[MrFonzworth]

Yes and no.

Khabib is probably quickly approaching clearly the best when you disregard weight and just look at skill and ability but if there were some round robin massive tournament by all guys in MMA history, it's 100% factual that Khabib loses to multiple heavyweights because his skills and abilities aren't enough to overcome that level of weight difference.

So who is really better? It depends entirely on how you want to look at it.

The NBA, for example, doesn't have divisions for guys with 40" verticals, divisions for guys with 30" verticals, and so on... everyone plays everyone.

The only reason it happens in MMA is because it must happen in MMA because otherwise guys like Khabib wouldn't have careers because they wouldn't be able to compete.
