Dang you got buried on this fight

[Shagdogy]

Rose came into 5th round as +320 underdog on live bet

That was a bad line.

[Kermit]

Rose came into 5th round as +320 underdog on live bet

What? She was definitely up 2 rounds if not 3.

[Plaza23]

Rose came into 5th round as +320 underdog on live bet

Seriously? That's crazy. I was watching the entire thing and I thought she was winning. Judges didn't think it was that close either 49-46 on all 3 cards.

[Plaza23]

My gambling itch needs this $8.... The only angle I can come up with for Khabib losing, is that the money fight is still Conor vs Khabib even if Khabib loses. Khabib doesn't need to be undefeated to go after Conor. So I could see him tanking this one or something silly happening. There's no way he should lose straight up. He'll take him to the ground and pound him for 5 rounds if he needs too.

[Sanity Check]

Remember when Joanna kicked Jessica Andrade in the leg a million times and it had no effect?

Commentators heavily exaggerated whatever effect Joanna's kicks had imo.

[Plaza23]

Khabib's face is even built for fighting. It looks he could knock people out with his cheekbones.

[Richard Clock]

That was a bad line.

I am a little drunk so I could be wrong, maybe it was reversed? I bet on Rose at +115 after round 3 and Joanna presumably won round 4. I think the rationale was that Joanna has "momentum" coming into Round 5.

naw I saw Joanna -500 before rnd 5 started

[Thor4140]

This wont be close. His last fights he won were guys that were washed up and Mas he didnt win and got a bogus win. I guess will see. If he beat Mas decisively i would give him a chance here even tho Mas and Khabib style is very different.

[thedenthead]

Under 2.5 rds.

because im a degenerate and was even on the night

[Thor4140]

How come nobody realizes that Conor threw a hand truck and not a dolly

It was +325. Almost everyone had JJ winning rounds 3-4. 2-2 going into 5th and Rose movement very compromised. Shocked to see three 49-46.

You ever been kicked in the leg by someone who trains?

[Plaza23]

Khabib -1750 live after R1

[Sanity Check]

You ever been kicked in the leg by someone who trains?

Yeah. It feels good.

[Plaza23]

I think fans are booing khabib's style but it's effective.

[Plaza23]

Al is desperately attempting to just not get choked out

[intermission]

lmao just wave the white flag

[Plaza23]

-145 this goes the distance

[Plaza23]

Rogan is such a homer for Al. Every punch Al might land, Joe Rogan is like "ooh ooh ooh"...but everything Kabib hits with, and Rogan's like "eh those punches are landing but they are nothing".

Rogan was horrible here. Nice to see Khabib dominating on feet with jab and showing an improved aspect his game. Not good enough for Rogan though.

[Sanity Check]

Think Khabib's opponent changes messed him up. He wasn't 100% in there. That's why he didn't look as good as when he fought Barboza.

[Plaza23]

Rogan was horrible here. Nice to see Khabib dominating on feet with jab and showing an improved aspect his game. Not good enough for Rogan though.

Strikes were 187-25....and Rogan's like "Al is exposing some weaknesses in Khabib"...lmao. Rogan is a clown.

[firekillex]

some guys here really dont know the mma game whatsoever if you think khabibs striking looked good

[intermission]

he wanted to fight GSP after

[Thor4140]

When will anyone realize Havier is a terrible boxing coach. All his guys get knocked out. Cain ,Rockhold, Swick (who had nice hands till he went to AKA) and eventually Khabib hanging that chin out like they somehow teach this at AKA. Only one who doesn't get knocked out is DC unless it is a kick.

[Thor4140]

Al reminded me of Belfort waiting and waiting and waiting jesus christ throw your punches and than when he did he looked like he was pulling them. These guys think Khabib boxing looked good because Al didnt respect it and wouldn't even move his head.

Khabib's had 26 pro fights and never been knocked down once. Probably never been knocked down in training either. He probably feels nobody can hurt him at the weight classes he's at, so he's going to leave his chin out there, come inside, and always be a threat for the takedown.

I don't think it's a bad strategy. When you are as dominant as he is, he doesn't need to fight defensively.

[Thor4140]

That other Russian is a human highlight real. He will get better and better. I was so impressed with his boxing defense. Until he got tired he wasn't getting hit with anything. It might of looked like it but he was rolling out of everything

Conor will knock him senseless

take out the wrestling, khabib wouldve been ko'd already.

Haven't seen him fight one guy with knockout power who would actually use it.

When MMA removes wrestling from the equation, and it becomes standing no gloves boxing, then that might be relevant.

That's it for now... been waffling on JJ/Rose. Rose made that last fight look like no fluke, but if you watch their catalogue, JJ looks like the better fighter. Hmmmm.

^^^ $$$$$$$$ Back. On. Track.
