Would love to see Chael Sonnen as a UFC commentator one day…
We know the key for guys like d.c., put your fingers in eyes if you cant beat fair, and square. d.c. is shit
This is why we NEED Khabib vs Tony. Every person who loves fighting knows this is the real Lightweight contest and could be the best fight ever.
Always excellent and compelling analysis! So happy for the Ariel and The Bad Guy sessions because (along with Joe Rogan and a Dominic Cruz) you two are among the best analysts in MMA today! Insightful, thoughtful and a deep understanding of the game. Thanks so much!
By the way, because of what you mentioned, Conor is going to win this fight! He has trained and learned how to stay utterly relaxed even on the biggest stages and under the brightest lights! That flow will allow him to be able to strike with his usual precision and quickness. The only one he had trouble with was Nate Diaz and I attribute Nate’s success to his lack of really strong/thick neck muscles and increased flexibility in his neck muscles such that when hit, he absorbed lots.
Compare that to other guys he has fought who are much more developed in the neck… that when that head gets cracked/torqued back with their very thick neck muscles… And it’s not used to being torqued like that… Conor sleeps people easily: Mendes; Aldo; Poirier, Alvarez, etc. However, the wiry , lean and not-so-thick-around-the-neck fighters ended up going the distance: Diaz and Holloway. Their less muscled necks allowed their spinal cord to not so directly be snapped/torsioned thus absorbing Conor’s shots.
Like those other fighters Conor McGregor previously slept, Khabib has very thick strong neck muscles that have yet to be tested/torqued by a fighter of Conor’s speed and precision. Michael Johnston and Al Iaquinta gave us hints as to what’s to come as to what could be Khabib’s vulnerability to strikes… Conor’s usual well-placed/timed shot to his chin is going to torque Khabib‘s neck like it’s never been torqued before.
Good night Khabib. ☠️😎

I think Khabib is due for not only a lost round but a match loss. I think Ferguson wouldve beaten Khabib and Conor wouldve beaten Ferguson. This should be an entertaining fight and this time I think Conor knows exactly what to do for Khabib. The footage is out and the predictability is clearly in Khabibs corner yet nobody knows what Conor has been doing all this time except that his boxing,striking and cardio have improved leaps and bounds more than we even think…..and Conor can actually come out with a whole new package and/or approach to which we cant see right now and that is totally in Conors favour and one that Khabib should think about but like all the undefeated before Khabib came, they were silenced cuz of their own rut they were set in as far as ego, training and how the record gets them to be complacent. I think Conor actually wins this fight.
I really like these vids chael has been putting out.
I've taken on five guys and fries at the same time and I won
I LOVE YOU CHAEL! YOU ARE THE BEST!
joking excuse why it happens but it's still pretty woman fact the Conor does gas out during fights in the khabib does put a pressure on people they simply can't handle in most cases.
this will especially be true when it goes to the ground because grappling is far more intense in terms of running out people out of cardio.
if Connor goes down he's likely not getting back up and if he does he's not going to be the same
