Either way, I think it's time for Khabib to move to 170.

He looked completely drained and needed help up to the scale.

He's getting older so that definitely doesn't help things.

He might need to test the waters if wants to fight GSP so bad.

Besides, I would like to see him clean out 2 divisions if he wants to go down as one of the GOATS. Look how long it's taken Jon Jones to move up.

On Amar'e, what a turncoat. That whole Nets coaching staff is a big fat mess. But they aren't getting any attention about it cause they're the Nets, and nobody cares about them.

Khabib isn't fighting for much longer no chance he battles it out for the 170 belt, he will retire after his next fight, whether that be against GSP or Conor. Then his cousin likely takes over at 155.

True. But he's also said he's not retiring any time soon in the press conference from yesterday.

So Khabib needs to decide here soon what he wants to do.

As soon as his next fight, if it is indeed GSP.

Remi, @ 7:15 :lol:

Nice breakdown of the fight by GSP in the last quarter of the video. He also talks about the difficulty in setting up a fight with Khabib. GSP isn't going to fight at 155 so they have to fight at a catch weight.



Also, Dana just announced Khamzat Chimaev vs. Leon Edwards on Dec. 19 :o

Really nice performance from khabib. I wish we coulda seen him fight against more diverse styles, the leg kicks in this one were interesting at least. A triangle from full mount...good lord! Dude’s in the goat convo for sure.
