Khabib already fought a very bad matchup for him.

Iaquinta

1. Good wrestling
2. Good cardio
3. Decent striking
4. Great heart/endurance
 
In before Conor fans demand Khabib fight Jon Jones to prove himself.

A good wrestler with serviceable striking by MMA standards is a bad matchup for Khabib? ... learn something new everyday.
 
To be fair, Iaquinta was preparing for a striker.

Where my Cabo Diaz and 10 day mini Mendes at

Tony and Max both fucked up so it's hard to hold any of that against the Khabib
 
He will beat Tony (the bjj specialist) and Lee (The wrestler) and maybe people will see that this is a special talent...
 
Interesting points of view:

So who is he ducking at LW?
Kebob ducked every wrestler and BJJ practitioner with a good guard and decent striking in the division.

You forget it was Tony that pulled out last time?
Tony had to undergo surgery, Kebob didn't. Kebob pulled out 4 times (twice against Cerrone and twice against Tony), not to mention his entire record is guys who stylistically pose no threat to him. If that doesn't tell "he ducks", I have bad news for you.
 
Thats true

and 1 day Al made khabib look like an amateur. Als preperations were for a striker and Khabibs gameplant stayed the same so dont tell me that Khabib was 1 day notice too. In that fight Khabibs overrated grappling, lack of finishing ability, and amateur striking were exposed

If winning 50-43 against a top 15 ranked guy makes you an amateur we better hope Khabib doesn't turn pro

I'm not holding it AGAINST khabib, but it's still important to point out

not even a conor nuthugger, nobodys talking about him so settle down.

Sorry but his community college wrestling isnt actually that impressive. He was not a standout. A decorated NCAA wrestler like Gillespie would be a real test for Khabib.

big woop. He took him down and held him, OMG hes so amazing.

Before the fight people were paining him as some insane mauler thats gonna pummel you and beat the pulp out of you. After that fight he was exposed as a pillow fisted chain wrestler with amateur striking. If Al had a full camp for that one he might have won.

Kevin Lee couldn't take Iaquinta down and Khabib took him down 6 times.

dude Al was 1 day notice. He was preparing for a standup war with Feldor. I doubt he did any wrestling that camp. Also Kevin Lee is alot better now than he was back then.

Im not a Khabib hater, I was impressed with how much his strikin had improved this last fight but still hes very over rated
 
Kevin Lee learned how to wrestle in college not MMA

He couldn't take Al down

Watch, Al is going to smash him again

Lee won't be able to TD him and he'll get dropped on the feet just like last time
