      Default spook people keep assuming that a RNC has to be applied under the chin. This is actually false. Since the RNC is a blood choke, one must only apply pressures to the sides of the neck to cut off the arteries. Is it easier to finish under the chin,?yes. But with the correct form, it’s not that hard to finish over the chin. As long as you can use the back hand to squeeze the sides, it can be finished. This submission was not a neck crank. I don’t think. Even if it was, Ive been in a neck crank like this before, it is terrible. If your opponent is higher on your back, he can wrap up the over the chin RNC , squeeze, and use your upper body and head to push forward. That’s the crank that kills. Believe me , none of you would last a second without tapping to a neck crank like that.

Not someone who was just on roids but someone who also got out worked , have you watched that fight? i wouldnt say either one of them lost . but i also wouldnt say the guy cheating is the winner either . an all the judges gave it to Khabib. n taht was what ? 4 or 5 years ago? I think Khabib is the best light weight in the world an when i say we are witnessing greatness, i def believe it

    • @adamyo9003

      *Adam *Korn You are correct. It was a long time ago, the judges chose Khabib and Tibau was likely on some Mexican supplements. But, I saw Tibau win that fight. I’m in the minority and it doesn’t really matter because of the official record, but to me, Khabib is 26-1. I’m saying this as a Khabib supporter too. 🤷‍♂️

And also the chance of them DQing the result and giving the W to connor that was my main concern. It was afterwards when they announced that he is winner and still 27-0 that i relaxed and now looking in hindsight i Loved what he did (still not condoning) ..

    • @Jimmy-es8bc
      @Jimmy-es8bc Před 5 lety +33

      Bruce Chan - I agree that he underperformed. The only thing I thought Conor did well was his take down defence and his back game. Not good enough in the end, but he still did well I thought. I think the two years off effected Conor, his striking was off, his timing was off. It was a bad idea to come straight back and fight Khabib. But that Conor, he’s a mad man.

      He looked flat footed and slow because of the pressure from Khabib's takedowns. It's unlike anything Conor has faced before. That's how Khabib landed that huge right hand that knocked Conor on his ass. He feigned a takedown and landed the right hook.

      With a medical background. McGregor was a bit flat. I attribute that to the use of stimulants. One comes to mind but you clearly see it.

    But there is a logical objective line. Linking a Muslim fighter to terrorism is no different at all to calling a black man the 'n' word. NONE. Also there is a law against death threats. That there would be a logical objective line.
    Finally if you start stoking the fires between Chechnya and Dagestan claiming that Khabib's dad would be happy to knife the Chechnyan dictator in the back. Then you are endangering Khabib's entire family's life. That too is a logical and objective line.

    If GSP could fight Khabib could it genuinely be considered a match for the title of pound for pound best?

    • @AdobadoFantastico
      @AdobadoFantastico Před 5 lety +19

      It could. But GSP has *so much* history behind him. A win for Khabib would definitely send him on the way. I think Khabib would need to go up to welter or middleweight and test his mettle there to really cement a legacy as p4p.

    • @GicaEric
      @GicaEric Před 5 lety +11

      Nooo man, did you see Tony's pace? Tony would chop up two Khabibs within 25 min. After that dip in 3rd round for Khabib, Tony would cut him to pieces. And remember, we've never seen Khabib see his own blood squirting out of his head, it would change a lot. Tony is the best.

    • @RichLuciano1
      @RichLuciano1 Před 5 lety +4

      @Ortum Lynx The GOAT as we know is a timeless class of title, P4P is just presently open. Jones (for now) DJ (for now), Aldo, McGregor, and Silva, aren't relevant anymore. I don't consider him an All Time great yet. He just might be the P4P best fighter right now. GSP and him are basically the best elimination match for that title, to be fair. It seems all other contenders for pound-for-pound have too great of a size differential

      We can also consider that this post fight scrum was a kind of extra round : so we have 4 official round, plus this illegal fifth one : not a 4 rounds fight, rather a five rounds one ;-). And security guards won against Khabib and Mc Gregor.
