Khabib smash?

murdering that poor Brazilian

Jesus ****, Khabib is eating his lunch.

Khabib is relentless and would murder anyone in the division. Connor, Tony, whoever.

 

[MindzEye]

Barboza looking like he's regretting every decision he's made in life getting off the stool after round 1

looks like if he gets him to the ground again it'll be over

Barboza survives round 2 somehow. Khabib seemed to visibly slow his work rate on the ground.

 

[Habspatrol]

This has been tough to watch. Just a massacre.

 

[Habspatrol]

The sadness on Barboza's face when he gets taken down in the 3rd is heartbreaking.

 

[Deckie007]

Props to Barboza for finishing the fight.

 

[MindzEye]

This has been tough to watch. Just a massacre.

+1

Huge respect for Barboza just surviving that.

 

[Habspatrol]

Definitely... Barboza is a warrior.

Rocky Barboza.

 

[MindzEye]

Khabib is going to face **** Tony when they fight. Connor will never allow himself to get locked into an octagon with Khabib. Khabib's takedown and top control skills are as good or better than GSP's were, and then unlike GSP, Khabib has a legit mean streak and likes to punish people.

 

[MindzEye]

Khabib suggesting that he carried Edson for the 15 minutes to get the work in....

Seeing him slow down his pace in the 2nd despite not looking gassed, I don't think he's full of shit here.

 

[Habspatrol]

Solid 1st round. Pretty even.

Solid 1st round. Pretty even.

After 2, I wouldn't argue very much with anyone who had Holm up 2-0

Cyborg looks dangerous as hell, but Holm isn't being physically dominated at all, and that straight left is landing clean and consistent.

 

[Habspatrol]

Yeah, Holm has at least held her own.

 

[Habspatrol]

Okay, Cyborg definitely took the 3rd... and Holm was lucky the round wasn't a little longer.

 

[MindzEye]

Yeah, Holm has at least held her own.

Round 3 started to turn the tide I think. Holly got rocked at the end of the round and seems to be out of ideas on how to get through and land. I expected Holly to be more of a counter striker and not rush in as much.

 

[MindzEye]

Holly needed to be smashing that front leg of Cyborg's early to set up the high head kick. Holly has thrown about 10 of them now and they're telegraphed.

 

[Habspatrol]

Yeah those head kicks have been so predicable. Zero chance of landing one.
