Did Conor big left land flush on khabib or not ?

[gb@Trumpski]

I was looking for the GIF of Conor standing in front of the worse striker in teh LW division, but alas it seems very elusive.

So I then went looking for a GIF of Conors left hand landing flush. Again, I struggled.

So here are some random GIFs:

During round 1, at 25 seconds, Conor tries his left, but that khabib boxing is too smart, and Conro hasn't even been wrestled at this point.

By the way, in following GIF, I wonder if khabib game planned to walk to his right (dangerous side for him as into McG left) to elicit the kick, so that it makes it slightly weaker momentarily to allow the single, or it that is just hindsight:

Another poster pointed out a trap Conor set with the knee counter, but which didn't work. Occurred in start of round 2

GIF of a brawl situation in round 2, with Khabib once again landing the only solid shot. Not what you should expect in such a striking mismatch

Khabib proved that he has better striking than Conor.

 

[Threetrees]

No

 

[accolyte1022]

No.

Kebab is still alive.

 

[Ryoto Machida]

All this proves is Khabib's striking defense is and was vastly underrated.

The guy is rarely hit clean, and it's not just luck.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

The left one punch only Ko's manlets.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Landed pretty clean

HOWEVER... Connie’s power is INEFFECTIVE against non Manlets. Connie has NEVER KO’d a UFC fighter taller than him.


Khabib FLOORED him though

well according to all the huggers of conors nuts, if the left lands that khabib sleeps. khabib probably hasn't slept since the fight took place.

turns out mcgregor's left is badly overrated

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

No. It wasn't clean. He saw it coming and took it and rolled with it, partially blocked.

Meh. He can hurt people bad with it.

Personally I think Khabibs chin is just that damn good.

Consider all of Conors fights. Hes dropped everyone not named Khabib in the ufc. I hate conor but he does have power.

 

[Skarsgard]

Kavanagh said Conor wasn't finding his rhythm or timing in there. If you can't get your timing, you can't land anything big.

 

[ANIM4L]

yeah he landed some clean shots and didnt phaze Khabib. it was a 4rd fight and to think he didnt land is preposterous.

 

[Stevanchez]

Khabib evaded most of his shots. But he landed a couple clean lefts and a big uppercut. Khabib just walked through them. Khabib's defense and chin are just way better than some want to admit.

 

[chick magnet punk]

He landed a good uppercut in 3rd round but Khabib react well

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

Khabib used a lot of lateral movement.

Very smart strategy against Conor.

To answer the question:
I don't think Conor landed flush with the left.

So power is only defined by if you knock someone out ? What about dropping the 6ft tall tough chin Nate Diaz 3 times?

The only people in recent memory that Conor hasn’t put down with punches is Floyd Mayweather and khabib.

 

[Silverstar17]

Conor landed a couple of good shots.

Probably not the best he could ever generate but he did land. Khabib ate it all though. This can probably also be attributed to him wearing him down in the first. With that grinding he laid the foundation for his dominant victory.

Khabib was aware of Conor's dangers and still decided to trade in the second and third. He was really confident that he could hang and take the shots.

I think those moments deflated Conor even more than the grappling in the first did because he saw himself in a situation where he could not get anything to work really. Landing a couple of good shots was not enough because they had no effect and weren't even enough to make Khabib back up.

Horrible night for Conor.
