Dustin is 10-2-1 at LW and Tony is 12-2 at LW but I am not including Tony's TUF fights.
If we look at the their best 5 wins
Dustin: -
Gaethje
Holloway
Alvarez
Hooker
Pettis
Tony:-
RDA
Lee
Barboza
Cerrone
Pettis
Dustin has a pretty much equal record in the division and has beaten better...
My boy was 2-2 heading into the 5th against Usman, he was also winning the 5th until Usman showed championship fight and grit.
It was also an early stoppage with Usman hitting more arm than head.
Colby is the one who made people excited to pay attention to the WW division.
All of you thought...
Yh Gaethje has won 4 in a row but those were against Vick, Barboza, Cowboy and Tony.
The Tony win was a great win especially on short notice, but also remember that both Eddie and Dustin could also beat Tony. Eddie is tough and well rounded with good cardio, Dustin has that power and boxing as...
Dana said that Conor refused to be a late replacement fighter against Tony but Conor has said to 'stay ready' and Justin is the one who took the risk of a short camp to fight a beast like Tony.
So why should Justin give up his title shot over Khabib for an interim fight with Conor? Conor makes...
Tbh I'm surprised you even responded.
I don't feel like Edwards has a big mouth, I feel like he feels he is being counted out and is not given the opportunity to shine. The only time I've seen him seem to have a big mouth is in the London press conference with him and Till and telling Masvidal...
How did he duck Woodley? There was a pandemic.
How did he duck Usman? I don't know if you know this but they have fought before.
How did he get punked by Mas? He got sucker punched.
Hopefully your double yellows go away, you are my fav poster in the heavies.
Off the bat, I am not a huge Masvidal fan and I believe both Colby and Usman beat him.
He also won against Till and Askren, two fights I thought he would lose so props to him.
Masvidal makes some valid points on his situation. The UFC model is different from other sports league models like the...
Yes that is what I thought.
But if you watch the Dustin fight, he had Dustin in bad spots multiple times. Dustin is a black belt on the ground, what is Justin? If Khabib gets Gaetjhe in that position, it's going to be an early finish.
I predict a first round submission victory for Khabib but...
It doesn't have to be within the first 10 seconds but it can be within the first minute or two. Khabib shot 15 seconds into a takedown against Conor who is a much better counter puncher than Justin.
I expect the reverse, I expect Khabib to shoot immediately and we saw what he did against Dustin...
Khabib has also taken down every fighter other than Tibau in the first round. Against a puncher like Justin, he will try to initiate the wrestling aspect ASAP.
Remember the bad spots he had on Dustin in the first round, Dustin is significantly better on the ground than Gaethje. Gaethje also...
Conversely, Justin is the hardest hitter that Khabib will have faced.
Khabib knows this and will shoot immediately. Watch Gaethje be a fish out of the water on his back, Khabib is going to finish him quick.
Lebron has faced better teams in the Finals tho.
He's faced the Spurs with Timmy D, Parker, Ginobili and later Kawhi.
And then the Warriors with Steph, Klay and Dray and later KD.
The best team Jordan faced were probably the Jazz teams with Malone and Stockton so 2 HOFers. Those Spurs teams...
In my opinion, if you are among the best you should get paid the best.
And who is better than Jones in the last like 10ish years?
No-one so he should get paid tens of millions per fight.
It's not a situation like the NFL where a mediocre QB like Dak Prescott will get paid $40+ million.
Lebron James objectively is a better player than Michael Jordan.
What other contemporary did Jordan face at his position that was as good as Lebron has faced?
Drexler ain't better than KD, Kawhi, Giannis etc.
Forbes released a list of the highest paid athletes in 2020 with Federer topping the list at $106.3 million, followed by Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar and Lebron.
Conor was the only MMA fighter to make the list, coming in at no. 16 earning $48 million with $32 million from fighting and the remaining...
