Does anyone think really think Gaethje can beat Khabib?

[iwant2beswole]

Khabib is free money srs

[Droopdx]

I think Justin has the best chance out of anybody in the division to beat Khabib but still don’t see it happening. They asked UFC fighters their predictions and it was 17 votes for Khabib and 13 for Justin, kinda interesting.

What do you think about the Cannonier Whittaker fight? Never seen Cannonier fight before

I think its wild that Whittaker is a +100 dog in all his fights. I'm taking that. Whittaker is way better technically.

Cannonier is all over the place, hero or zero kinda guy. Scary guy, good size. Looks like the kinda guy who'd shake you down for all your pennies outside a Chevron. Nice guy though, never met him.

Watched the Cannonier Hermansson fight today. Cannonier looks fukn huge at 185

I’ll still take Whittaker though, knocked off his cobwebs vs Till

[Henry2001x]

There's no risk in betting on Khabib. He is the most dominant fighter ever to fight.

So... you're betting all your money on him right? if not then stfu.

He used to fight at 205 but I think guys were too big for him there. He looks better at middleweight but it seems he has still retained his power, I say Whittaker wins but if Whittaker isn't careful he could get laid the fuk out. Cannonier has some long orangutan arms and he might be able to use that reach.

Saw Justin hitting the bag last night when watching the countdown. He's fat af. Fight's a work. Some oil Sheik is making him rich beyond his wildest dreams.

Cannonier is the guy with the crystals. He has turned me into crystals ever since I saw him in an interview talking about how wearing crystal necklaces have changed the trajectory of his fighting career.

Lol, I know it's woo woo new age thinking but who knows right..

[PimpMasterC]

Justin Gaethje is a fearless beast, dont count him out. Dude has improved a lot as well
Khabib is no super human, he can get knocked out. Justin has great hands and a good chin

Khabib has fought tons of guys who have great hands and great chins, neither of which do phuck all when he has you wrapped up. Justin also has great kicks, which will leave him susceptible to getting taken down.

I dont mean to downplay Justin, I LOVED what he did to Tony and love his fighting spirit. Khabib and his style is just pretty inevitable with his pressure and control when he closes distance and gets his opponent grounded.

I agree.

Na khabib is just too good

[MinisterOfLust]

Na khabib is just too good

Do you guys put into effect that he recently lost his father to Covid-19 and it's entirely possible that might affect him. I mean his dad was the one who helped turned him into this great wrestler.

[FHSwarrior17]

How come all these cards in Abu Dhabi start in standard US time but this one starts at 11 am???
Tf, especially when you have arguably the second biggest draw in the sport

[Schnitzl]

So... you're betting all your money on him right? if not then stfu.

I already did 3 weeks ago and then again 2 single bets for round/sub or points and 8 bets with him in the parlay. Why you heff to be mad?

I don't think crystals changed his career, it was moving down two weight classes that changed his career.

[Henry2001x]

I just locked in a 6-fight parlay.

$307 bet with $10,063 payout.

[mp83]

Obviously Gaethje could theoretically win, I just don't see it as likely. To beat Khabib, it'll take someone with incredible TDD, real good striking, and real good footwork to keep themselves off the cage (and cardio to boot).

[Carbonfibre]

Considering this isn't boxing where fighters pick and choose who they fight to protect their record.


At some point Khabib will lose. They all do.


Gaethje is the most powerful guy Khabib has ever fought with actual take down defense.




Kinda nervous for Khabib, think he could lose by getting knocked out.

This.

People have a weird recency bias when it comes to the UFC. There have been so many fighters that look absolutely dominant right up until they aren't. Names like Silva, Aldo, Barao and Weidman come to mind.

why u mad? how much money have u lost betting against Khabib

[nomnom1989]

im also excited for the co main event

I think this can be said about Khamzat but not Khabib. He has proven himself to be the most dominant fighter ever in MMA history. I want to see him lose for the upset lulz but can never bet against him like I can't bet against Jon Jones.

Dude has NEVER been in danger in 28 fights. Lost arguably one round out of hundreds. The numbers don't lie when N becomes this big.

[BobLoblawBrah]

You can get basically the same odds +200 for Gaethje to win or for Khabib by Submission - so put all your money on Khabib by sub.

Khabib by sub x Oliveira W +425

Khabib by sub x Oliveira W x Cutelaba KO x Harris KO x Whittaker W = $$$$

The best thing about Justin is his discipline. In the fight against Tony, he made almost no mistakes and even adjusted his tactic to exactly what his corner told him. He wont panic and wont fukk around. He can do it.

But he wont.

[PaulAllen1995]

I feel like what everybody is saying about Justin him being dangerous...etc is what most people said about other guys he fought. With the only exception being his wrestling..

[iwant2beswole]

Yep

Johnson, barboza, connor

It’s going to be the same result. Ground and pound into submission. Happens with every matchup, opposing guy gets hyped as most dangerous striking that khabib has ever faced. Feel like Connor was a tougher matchup for khabib than Gaethje.

[EdwardTheGreat]

Gaethje's gonna sleep Khabib, then in order to see who gets a rematch with Gaethje, we're finally going to see Ferguson vs Khabib
