actually no, i've watch a bit of conor, imo conor was gonna throw a straight left, sidestepping left and move back
no homo but look at his ass, he always terks it up when he does this move, it's actually pretty good at fooling distance, he just got a mad overhand right thrown at him, it's also why he got launched, his feet weren't planted
you see a bit of it here
he gets a lot of movement w/ that left
I'm not sure we're actually disagreeing, except over the label. He clearly got caught by a good shot. I'm not saying it was accidental. "Outclassed" is a different thing and requires consistent dominance, IMO, which Khabib didn't have on the feet.
And anyway, I'm not sure what cracking Conor says about Khabib's chances vs GSP.

Khabib confirms UFC legend GSP is target for November fight
UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov says he is targeting a November showdown with MMA legend Georges St-Pierre at New York’s iconic Madison Square Garden, in what would be the Russian’s return fight after suspension.
Khabib’s immediate fighting career is on hold after he was slapped with a nine-month ban and $500,000 fine by the Nevada State Athletic Commission for the mass ruckus that followed his win over Irish megastar Conor McGregor at UFC 229 in Las Vegas in October.
As rumors abound over potential next fight paths for the undefeated Russian, the man himself has now stated firmly that he wants a match-up with Canadian great St-Pierre on a return to action in New York in November.
Speaking in a wide-ranging interview with Russian channel Match TV, Nurmagomedov named the man known as GSP as his desired opponent, despite the 37-year-old Canadian being at the tail-end of his career.
“He has one or two fights left… Georges St-Pierre is the greatest fighter ever to step in the octagon. That’s my opinion.
“I think he can drop to my weight [155lbs]. It would be interesting to fight him.
“My return will be planned for around November, in New York [in Madison Square Garden]. He’s fought there before, and there’s a big [Russian] diaspora."

would guess Vs GSP would do double the ppv buys as Vs Tony

Light HeavyweightJim Crutevs.Sam Alvey
honestly only fights to watch is wittaker v gastelum and stylebender vs. the spider.
with a bunch of nobodies on the entire card.
Gonna say whittaker will weather the whatever gastelum throws at him. Also i doubt gaastelums wrestling is even a threat towards someone that can survive fucking yoel romero for 10 rounds.
The Spider has been pretty horrible since he taunted Weidman, and with stylebender being hailed as the new silva with a 15win streak, i doubt anyone bets on dickpills man.
