  2. Honestly, right now I don´t see how Tony could beat Khabib. He has chances, but Khabib is just better.

  4. Khabib fans are turning to be as toxic als mac fans. Tony absolutely has a change of winning this one.

  6. Stop with the triangle nonsense! It's completely possible to finish the triangle without the arm. The fact that it's unexpected makes it a more effective choke, not as easy for the opponent to free the arm by pushing on the leg.

  7. Tony wins the bulk of his fights via Cardio. This is his biggest asset. He wears people down with volume and then either TKO's them or submits them. His submission game is way overrated and over hyped. He has a good submission game but he relies on first tiring the guys out. He is relentless and keeps coming forward. He takes shots and hits in the process but does not stop.

    Against Khabib I don't think this will give him any edge because Khabib has an equal if not better cardio. Also Khabib can control the tempo of the game by taking him down when he wants.

    People also underestimate Khabib's bjj. He has a very high level bjj game. Khabib can work from his back if he wanted to. He has submissions on his record (triangle, arm bar etc.). It is just that he has never needed to show them because his game is so dominant. I just see Tony trying all sorts of weird things but nothing is going to stick and Khabib wins on decision.

  8. Luke "Technical Difficulties" Thomas. But in all seriousness I've always thought Tony is Khabib's biggest challenge. Please gods let the curse not strike Khabib vs Tony 5.

  9. Tony's the type to get his tongue frozen on a freezing pole, rips it off and whips out his 'cucuy' to try it with that.
