Does anyone think really think Gaethje can beat Khabib?

[iwant2beswole]

How did khabib have a bad cut? He always has to get super lean to make weight but carbs up and gets hyooge on fight night

- Walt Harris looks in good shape
- Tuivasa cannot reach $truve$ face

Khabib missed weight

There's no way you can possibly say he missed weight

1) They get weighted backstage, and that's the "official weight," if what I'm hearing is true

2) Even if this measurement wasn't accurate he would be within the LW limit

This is very ****ty and poor officiating though. I haven't kept track of it but people are saying that he's been doing this all the time to everbody. Highly unlikely he truly missed weight though.

This was the official weigh in, as opposed to the ceremonial weigh in which hasnt happened during covid.

He likely missed championship weight 155.0 or under. 156 isn't good enough for a belt. 155.01 is not good enough for a belt.

Fact is he used the officials to prevent the pin from going haywire, AND the guy on scale duty slid the dial before it had settled. It was going to settle above 155.0 in my opinion.

Ultimately, Gaethje was robbed of 30% of Khabib's purse and a fair competition. Unsure if purse included PPV points, but in my opinion it is clear that a conspiracy was in place and Gaethje suffered a huge financial loss.


Gaethje if you see this call me at 1800-808-743

Holy **** khabib made him look like a 10 year old, had $100 on geathje for the lulz but lmao khabib is the goat.

[Gringo12]

Khabib lost one round his entire career and that's from a cheating Irishman

Gaethje has never defended against a chain wrestler, he's been shot on once or twice a fight and then they give up after he defends it. Khabib is gonna shoot, and shoot, and shoot, round after round after round. I won't be surprised if gaethje blocks every take down shot in the first round. But he will be a changed man in the following rounds.

Gaethje also has his american wrestling techniques coded into his instincts. When ever he has someone takes him, his goal is to not land on his back, so he poses up and tries to get the other person off balance. This isn't gonna work with Khabib, he exposes his neck too much and khabib will be fckning with his wrists too much.

And the quote from khabib should have gaethje staying up at night in a fit of anxiety

"“I will take him to the deepest ocean and drown him.”

Called it, you're welcome. Justin's american wrestling screwed him over by offering khabib his back

I thought he was an all American decorated wrestler? Even Conor did way better than him

[StoliFun]

Dolce's video of the weigh in is upsetting. Khabib is going to have an asterisk by his name now.

Same manager. Same tyrants backing him. It was a fix. Predictated it early itt.

Asterisk? You're kidding right?

IMO nobody at 155 or below can handle Khabib's grappling once he gets a hold of them.

I think someone with elite footwork/distance control and striking from the outside + maybe scrambling ability has the best shot vs Khabib. Maybe even someone who could catch Khabib off balance and put him on his back.

So basically a carbon copy of GSP in his prime slimmed down to 155.

Justin's grappling looked weak compared to Conor and Dustin and Conor has better footwork on the feet to control distance.

Not surprised he got mauled once on the ground way easier than those guys. Conor is a more fluid athlete and Dustin has used his grappling skills in many fights. Not sure Justin has really even used grappling in his fights at all??

I was screaming for Tony to try to get the fight to the mat too vs Justin but that never happened.

Some decent leg kicks by Justin though. I'm glad he didn't abandon those in fear of Khabib closing the distance when he threw them.
