McGregor V Khabib = Modern Day Liddell V Couture

[VancityJ]

After Liddell the brash superstar lost his first match with Couture he built himself back up over 4 fights, including a two fight stint in Pride. In the rematch Liddell knocked out the wrestler Couture in the first round. The two later had a rubber match where Liddell again knocked out Couture, this time in the second round. With both Khabib and McGregor at 30 years of age, there is easily enough time for two more matches between the two rivals.

Did you know that Liddell has a background in wrestling?

 

[Breaking]

Nah...Chuck and Randy was an interesting matchup. Fights that seemed like they could go either way.

The only way Conor beats Khabib is with a first round KO. That would happen maybe once in 20 fights.

Your boy is simply not on the level.

Liddell vs Couture fights were competitive,Khabib beats Conor 10 out of 10

 

[Sonny Qc]

Lol?

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Conor's TDD and wrestling is nowhere close to where Liddell's was. Couture isn't nearly as dominant a grappler as Khabib is and his defense isn't nearly as good either. Khabib rarely gets hit and when he does it's almost always with glancing shots.

No logical reason for Conor to get a rematch, other than money. So TS makes no sense.

You're all a bunch of HATERS!!!!

You (and a bunch of other noobs in this thread) do not seem to be aware that Liddell is a wrester. Don't you remember Rogan shouting how Liddell uses his wrestling background to keep the fight standing?

Liddell vs. Tito.

Chuck Liddell was a D1 wrestler.

Conor's advanced wrestler compared to Liddell.

I normally don't point out join dates or locations but I find it funny that someone with a 2018 join date from Europe is trying to tell people about wrestling.

That was Cain vs JDS, except the results were inverted.

 

[King Joffery]

Liddell vs Couture fights were competitive,Khabib beats Conor 10 out of 10

Based on a sample size of 1. Everyone was was before the fight saying it could go either way but whatever way he went it would be a dominant win. A dominant win doesn't prove how often it would go out of a sample size of 10. All we can reasonably conclude is Khabib wins at least 1 out of 10 but he quite possibly lose 9/10 and this was that 1.

Also, I’m glad you recognize that Conor needs to build himself back up with a few more fights to earn a rematch.
