- Thread starter TheDestructiveSquirrel
- Start date
you guys need to understand the level it takes to put someone out with a triangle in 4 seconds. that's just pure nuts

Man was tapping multiple times and the ref just ignored them.....
Too easy of a fight and w for Khabib.

Was expecting it, maybe one more. He always said he'd go to 30 and retire.
It must feel so good to leave a fight having executed your play so definitively and without much damage.
Take his culture into account. This guy doesn't live in a modern part of the world and is surrounded by people who have the same view. It's not only hard for him to say something that goes against what his family and friends say, we haven't seen him being countered with the opposition argument.hmmm
‘Women should be fighters at home’ – Khabib risks sexism backlash over comments (VIDEO)
Russian UFC champion Khabib Nurmagomedov has faced accusations of sexism by saying that women “should be fighters at home,” in response to a question on what advice he would give to female competitors getting into the MMA game.www.rt.com
Also I don't think he believes women should stay at home but he believes in the old fashioned idea of women not being fighters. It's a bit like someone from his part of the world finding something in our culture unacceptable and calling an adherent of that notion non-decent. I cant overlook all his other good personality traits just because of this.
Upon replay, Justin's arm was kinda flopping around and tapping everywhere, so I guess the ref didn't want to call it in case it was Justin trying to attack? Anyway, it wasn't like he was taking shots, he just went to sleep, so maybe avoid the whole "pop up and dispute" situation.
But wow, a retirement at 29-0? He's gotta go for 30, damn.

Easiest bet ever, he is a GOAT. Pure machine plus his dad died in the lead up to this fight? He was never losing
Yea, Justin hit him with some solid shots and Khabib didn't do much more than flinch.
Khabib doesn't seem like the type to be lured back by a pay day, especially given his reasons for retiring.
seriously i'm tearing up inside as well, witness to greatness
Idk, Khabib has been a guy who has stuck by his guns and he seems to really believe this is the right move

I can guarantee that the ref probably hasn't seen such an early tap from a triangle and it caught him off guard. They usually take time to set up, and the squeeze comes from the legs and your hands. Not to mention no gi + lots of sweat and blood, it can be very easy to escape from one. Khabib is just a wizard
i mean, this is a great way to go out. the world is watching and he retires dominating a top opponent. who cares if it's 29 or 30. he's done what he need to do, proven what he needs to prove.
he's got money, fame, and his health.
been a pleasure to watch the greatest.

They'll try to pull him out for a GSP fight in a year or a year and half.
TBF this was probably one of the more damaging fights he's taken in recent times. The leg kicks plus some of head strikes justin landed sounded pretty brutal. Probably the reason why he decided to wrap it up so quickly.

Khabib probably would do 30th fight if it was GSP right? Doesn't seem possible so yeah retiring is the best
