American comentators in a nutshell lmao half of Connors fame came from Americans all claiming theyre "off Irish ancestry" even if theyre a mixture of 16 different nationalities, never been to Ireland etc but anyways the minute an Irish fighter showed up he became INSTANTLY popular (like literally, the first and second fights he had in UFC the crowd went MAD while he was barely proven yet) and same applies for commentators lmao A LOT of them had a huge bias towards McGregor regardless of his skill.

@@MynameisBrianZXkhabib and danis used to train in the same gym in New Jersey (when khabib first came to america) and they had beef since then… apparently it was because of khabibs sambo jiu jitsu shirt 😂😂
Say what you want but the “it’s only business” that came out of Conor at 15:23 is crazy. The fact khabib got that out of Conor and almost couldn’t believe what he heard after all that happened. This fight was legendary.
Actually remember seeing this live. It really was one of the best main events I’ve ever seen. Down to khabib jumping the fence. I think the “it’s only business” was a last ditch effort to lower khabibs defenses.
I loved Khabibs double take there, "let's talk now". Like seriously Conor, you're gonna try and back pedal on everything you said and did leading up to this fight as only promotion? So many lines were crossed you don't just get to say "I didn't actually mean it" after all that. Such a pathetic display, and I honestly wish Khabin hadn't choked Conor out in round 4 but instead put another 8 minutes of brutal ground and pound on him take the lopsided decision.
This is one of the most iconic fights in combat sports history. Can’t believe it’s been 5 years since this masterpiece happened and yet still we all talk about it. Now matter how old this fight gets, it will always be remembered and talked about
Absolutely, The Rumble in the Jungle 50th anniversary is coming up and people still talk about that fight. This one will be remembered well in 50 years too!
what's so poetic, is that when khabib was a kid he wrestled a bear cub, using grappling techniques. and here, his wrestling/grappling skill is what led to victory. full circle. Khabib's dedication is inspiring
Every 8 months we have “The biggest fight in UFC History” but none will ever bigger than this no matter what. This was truly the biggest fight in UFC History
it's lowkey insane to me that only TWO of the TEN highest sellin fights in UFC history don't involve Conor. hate him or love him, he did ridiculous numbers
@@srgetem Yeah and the hype and build up for this was like no other. Mcgregor left and never technically lost his belts to come back to an undefeated rival winner take all type of feeling
🤣 Those 2 wins over top 10 opponents then retiring. 7 fights in 4 years. Beating mcnugget after he trained boxing for 2 years. The legend of the greatest fighter that rarely fought...
C non man, dude fought 25 cousins in his backyard, beat two decent opponents, never gave a rematch and retired in prime age, his so called legacy is rigged af.
@Huiopp1200 Striking, grappling, slappin, knockdowns, mauling, chokin fool half to dea1h then the biggest damn mass brawl in UFC history! What else you wantmf?
Probably the funniest thing I’ve ever heard in MMA commentary is “he’s trying to gas khabib out” when a man is quite literally getting his face pounded in… Joe sure knew to call Dom out on that immediately. What a feat of history this was, can’t imagine it will ever be upstaged. Masterclass
As funny as it is, he is right even Khabib admitted it. But only thing wrong he said was that it was Conor somehow doing it 😂 but it was Khabib who was half the round throwing massive shots at Conor round 2 purely out of rage and it kinda got him gassed so he took a round of in 3rd. And mind you Khabib could have easily got a sub by Kimura in round 2 also he had it.
Dominick Cruz saying that Conor letting Khabib hit him so he can tire him out undoubtedly was the stupidest thing ever said in a live fight broadcast 😂😂
Khabib's exceptional character traits are truly remarkable. Outside the battlefield of the ring, he never harms anyone. Just as a tiger fiercely clamps down on its prey, weakening it to bring it under control, Khabib also launches devastating attacks to dominate his opponents. He is one of the greatest fighters in history, remaining undefeated in 29 matches! Truly a man blessed by Allah, Khabib is the successor of the Muslim warrior Khalid Ibn Al-Walid. Much love and respect to you from Bangladesh, from one of your humble Muslim brothers.
He said some weird shit too though but overall yes. Goat commentator. What happened to his co host from years ago? Loved that guy. They had a good thing together
I'm not a massive Joe Rogan fan nowadays even though I used to be, but his commentary is absolutely on point and he always manages to give an accurate summary of events.
This man Khabib truly inspired my son to completely change his life. I never imagined I'd see him doing what he’s doing now. He always says you're the reason he woke up from his old miserable life. He's doing so much better, and I'm incredibly proud and so grateful to have real role models like you. Thank you, Khabib nurmagomedov for being an inspiration to young men today. Forgive my English. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
This fight was a critical one in UFC history. When Khabib jumped out of that cage, as Khabib once said himself, the sport of MMA especially the UFC jumped over to another level with him. He was so right. No wonder this was the biggest fight in UFC history.
Props to khabib but he was never the biggest fight mcgregor was After how khabib beat mcgregor shouldnt he have more ppvs in his next defense? Did he have it fuck no not even half😂 Connor is the biggest draw Khabib is a better fighter than connor for sure but people should know khabib didnt sell fights
The greatest rivalry the ufc has and probably will ever see. Absolute madness from the whole back story, build up, fight itself, brawls afterwards between the teams, and fans. A sporting moment I’ll never forget.
Couldn’t agree more. Was working at a casino at the time that showed the fight in the 500 capacity auditorium. Was 1 of 3 people in the room rooting for Khabib. Almost got fired the next day because of how drunk and crazy I got because he won. Amazing night.
UFC217 in my book but this one is up there. GSP v Bisping, Dillashaw v Garbrandt, Rose v Joanna, Wonderboy v Masvidal, Hendricks v Costa even the pre-prelims were stacked...
Damn, watching Connor get beat that badly was brutal. Man's had to throw illegal knees, elbows to the back of the head, grabbing the cage with his toes and fingers, pulling shorts, etc. Man was fighting for his life in there
@@saksham_1002 you must've never wrestled in your life lmfao. the man underneath being controlled is being exhausted at 2x the rate of the man in control.
@@MusiQ8dictwhy does khabib have this reputation of humbleness when he’s had multiple multiple emotional outbursts, called for a title shot and self proclaimed himself as the champ years before he won. Y’all must not have seen GSP if you think he’s honourable
@@erniejohnson677didnt know humbleness equls beeing a unemotional robot, he kept his cool for way longer then most.

Khabib’s grip strength, core strength, tendon strength and stamina is insane. Training from an extremely young age paid off in the octagon. His conditioning is literally the peak of human conditioning. His grapple game is unparalleled and watching him go against Conor is a spectacle for the ages.
Think about the no one khabib was before this fight and how many casuals that thought he was the goat after. Like Nate ain’t do the same thing but was just man enough to do a rematch. Imagine if Jones never gave DC a rematch just b/c of his personal hatred. Sucker move by a true quitter
@@erniejohnson677first of all conor didn’t deserve he got dominated and finished. 2nd of all conor had no title defenses so why tf would there be a rematch clause and 3rd of all he couldn’t even beat Porier 😂😂😂def don’t deserve a rematch for losing 😭🤣🤣
@@erniejohnson677 Khabib was highly touted as a title contender when he first joined the UFC. Even Conor himself, many years prior to the saga with Khabib, predicted Khabib would be champion.
@@TheTruth-kt2ih undeafeted fighting guys like you and myself. Any world champ would beat us. What makes the man is how he does when he faces his equal.

Don’t speak on it as if it were equal. Conor brought the eyes on the sport. Trust me none of y’all knew who khabib was prior to that. Had it been gaite, du Bronx, or Dustin Poirer it woulda been the same. Conor was really talking that shit to everybody in the game
@@erniejohnson677 its true tho. Conor sky rocket ufc back in 2016 he's a good entertainer and trashtalker his carreer ended when he fought floyd seeing all that money coming in which made him not hungry anymore
you can really see when Connor switched up. Start of the third round he tries to touch gloves after getting mauled for a minute and a half in the second
@@JonnoDavidProsser You think putting up the toughest fight Khabib has hand taking it to a decision against one of the pound for pound greatest of all time is getting "embarrassed"? You're delusional. He also got several good shots in. If just one would have landed in a slightly better spot it would have gone a different way. Out of 100 5 round fights, you think McGregor wouldn't get just one of those to land proper? You don't even know what you're saying.
This has to be one of, if not THE single greatest MMA fight of all time. The fight build up, the storyline, the actually FIGHT, AND the aftermath. People throw this word around but this fight is truly LEGENDARY in the MMA world.
Lots of hype, drama, emotion etc. During the build up, fight and aftermath. But as for the fight itself, I wouldn't say it's the greatest MMA fight of all time, not even close in my opinion. I don't think it's on the same level of Lawler-Macdonald 2, Jiri-Glover, the Figgy-Moreno fights and many others. Although it was a good fight.
@@LL-hc3zmcause it’s lowkey cringe fighting. It’s not entertaining. At the end of the day people want entertainment out of sports, and high skill doesn’t always mean that
The fight which is so iconic, it almost rose above the UFC as a whole. Such an intense build up, hatred and two legends. I couldn't believe watching it live, that it was actually happening in front of my eyes. Khabib did a superb job, and he literally told Conor what he would do. Insane, we'll never get something like this again.
This was hands down the most insane fight/sporting event I have and will ever see in my life. Period. The build up, the dark energy from start to finish. The evolution of the sport after. A true catalyst that launched the UFC into the next dimension. It felt like a war almost. But it was only 2 men.
@@ybench5871something I always find hilarious about ufc fans is how you guys cry about cheating so much but ignore the fact that every fighter is basically cheating when they decide to cut weight and fight undersized people, wrestlers in particular. Conor and Colby are some of the only few who decided to fight at their natural weight class and ironically they’re the most hated bc of stuff outside of the cage.
@@markuskidd546if you make weight you are not cheating you weirdo. Herb dean could have deducted points, but it would have made zero difference to the final result and khabib finished the cheater anyway.
This is the UFC At its absolute peak. Two biggest names in the game at that time: the fan bases, the countries, the personalities. This was truly art. Amazing time in UFC.
UFC at its peak is when there were no rules. Mid 90s. Tournament style. A fighter might have to fight 3 times in one night. That's when men were men. Dan Severn, Don Frye, Ken Shamrock etc. Call me a boomer, but those dudes went through a whole lot of punishment and made half or even a quarter of that these guys make now with all the rules.
I think this was one of the most memorable fights in UFC history, not only because of the action inside the Octagon, but also because of the aftermath.
If only connor stayed focused and not bring religion into this it could have been different. I wished he didn’t talk bad about any religion or Jesus Christ. He had to get humbled.
In such a sad, violent et unfair world, I find myself coming back regularly to this fight. It brings a sense of justice inside me and then I go about my day.
this match is not fair Khabib should have won in the second round McGregor didn't defend himself, and when a fighter is not able to defend himself the referee has to stop the match, not to mention that McGregor climbs with his feet on the cage and you can't Do
One of the best rivalries I've ever witnessed. This fight is right up there among the best. Khabib is such a beast. He exploited Connor's flaws & executed his tactics to perfection. Fact we still talk about this fight today despite it happening 5 odd years ago goes to show how incredible this whole spectacle was.
@@bobomurat56cos of the WHOLE buildup to the fight. It was absolute hatred between the 2, Khabib took it personal whereas Conor said it's only business. Upto this day,Khabib never talks about him only except when he's asked in talk shows/interviews but Conor is still haunted by this defeat through his Twitter rants & then deleting it later on. They'll never be cool with each other,but hopefully 1 day in the near future. Glad to have watched it live 🙏
@@4747da he gave khabin his toughest fight it appears? connor was doing his best when he used his jab, even marking him up but khabib is like a sentient rock that has arms and legs that pins you to the earth
@@sevastos2168 And man some hugs they were! I mean, most of his opponents including Conor looked like they needed actual hugs from literally everybody in the world to stop that PTSD kicking in. 😂😂😂
IF you pay attention to this fight, you can really see how much khabib was toying with him. From his words to his actions, standing right in front of him striking.. unreal
@@purwantiallan5089 Big time. He ruined Conors confidence, ability, and motivation/drive. He made Conor realize that he's really a nobody compared to the top fighters, and that UFC and mma is an evolving sport that Conor couldn't keep up with at all.
It looked very personal at the end. He yelled at Connor then threw his mouth piece at Connors coaching staff?? Or his family?? I'm not sure. I don't know the history between these two and who insulted who. I always liked Connor as a fighter but not as a person because he had a real foul mouth and loved to talk crap. Goes to show that no one stays on top forever. This Khabib guy is gonna meet his match one day. We will just have to wait for it. Sorry about the rant.
@@eds1512Basically, Connor talked shit about Khabib's dad. Who passed away because of Covid. I remember he also posted something on twitter like 'Covid is good and father is bad'. Kinda saying like, I'm happy your dad, your coach and support element is gone. In our religion we respect our elders and parents more than anything else. That's how that shit started and how it became this personal. Also he insulted his religion etc. It's a sport etc. Still I've never heard Khabib saying this kind of disrespecting stuff ever
@@slugma1054Khabib is a legendary fighter but he is genuinely not a good person, he is involved with terrorism, highly likely to be using steroids(never caught so maybe not but you never know) and is a hypocrite.
@@moea6136honestly, overall Khabib dominated him. What do you think fighting is just punching in the face? I iwll immobilise your arms and see how well those punched do you
Respectfully, Khabibs fight style was heavily defensive through his high pressure offense. It's not impressive that you dont bleed if you fight like Khabib. For example. Jon Jones and GSP can fight like Khabib. But sometimes they want to stand and fight. That's when everyone bleeds easily. If Khabib fought like McGregor, he'd bleed every fight
@@nitinTDM Its like saying if you stab yourself, then you will bleed. But if you don't then obviously you don't bleed, therefore there is nothing impressive about that. 🤦♂. Its a fight, a fight that starts on the feet. Whether it stays on the feet or goes to the ground or gets knocked out while doing so (like curtis blaydes v derrick lewis) depends on your skill level. There are plenty of fighters in UFC, strikers, wrestlers, grapplers of different levels, but none was able to come out the cage after every fight without cuts all over there face. Then how come its only Khabib who never bled? why can't the rest of the UFC roster can't just 'lay' on their opponent and get the win with a clean face? Your logic is not only flawed but filled with bias and hatred.
Weird thing is that the fight is not about who is more ruthless, but about who is more control. Connor was always aggressive, ruthless, hate-spewing and he basically broke many fighters even before the fight. McGregor did a lot to break the fight prep of Khabib, but not only did it not work on Khabib, it solidified Khabib's position as a person in control. Khabib was raised in environment where you have to develop mental resilience over physical strength as in Dagestan you have a lot of strong boys around you. You have to learn to control your mental state and then build yourself like a tank. If you look deep down what made this fight so great, it was not only that 2 different worlds of fighting collided in the cage, it was two different philosophies of fighting. UFC has to scout more fighters from all over the world to show that fighting is incredibly diverse depending what was the upbringing of the fighter.
Yeah, Khabib is not the type to trash talk or play games before the fight. He just stays focused and wan't to get out there because that's where he shows his opponents who the better man is. Khabib is definitely not the type of guy to get flustered by trash talk or let it get to him. It's sad when someone at the level of a ufc fighter would let trash talk affect their performance.
True words my friend! And also keep in mind, on the top of all that, khabib is muslim, just that already teaches u mad self discipline and how to not let your emotions get ahold of you. Plus, how can a man scare you when the only thing that you’re afraid of is god 🤣
thrash talking makes the fights more entertaining.. no problem with that… but, when it’s turn to insults on your family or religion, it’s not about business anymore ….
I think effecting someone like Khabib with pre-fight trash talk is very very difficult. He seems to be way to stoic to letting something like that effect him. Still it might have worked even on him, at least to a degree, if Conor had displayed more maturity and self-control leading up to the fight. They way he carried himself in the interviews made it clear for everyone to see, that this guy had at that point completely lost his mind. Everything that came out of his mouth was nothing but result of the mess he was inside. When a guy in that kind of mental state trash talks someone like Khabib, it's never going to work. He'd have to take him serious first. Which clearly he had no reason to.
"It's only business..." was fear in a phrase. He must have felt so impotent that he had to literally beg for his health. Total destruction by Khabib. Epic build up and epic fight!
Khabib energy is way beyond any one else, that squeeze at the end made conor tap is unbelievable, how khabib still got the power after 4 rounds of smashing and squeezing just wow
@@keelee969I thought Khabib was boring too, but when your that strong and u don't have that great of a striking game,sure your gonna do what u do best and that's ragdoll your opponents and his ground & pound is just on another level, nobody can hang,and I hope your not one of the idiots that think Nate Diaz could beat Khabib,Diaz wouldn't win 1 round and he probably would get beat too death, just think He totally dominated Conor and Conor beat Diaz and in the 1st fight Conor was tagging Diaz and knocked him down a few times, Conor was totally dominated by Khabib,it wasn't even close..
Lmao Mctapper fan boys are still mad..calling this a fake fight 🤣 😂..he completely dominated that big mouth. He was never the same after this beating. Only fight he won after this was a old cowboy who fought for the paycheck which he definitely deserved but was way passed his time to beat Connor..he lost both fights to Diaz in most educated fight fans..and basically hasn't done shit since besides being a typing tough guy
In my opinion this match was mediocre. For one thing, anyone that takes on Khabib would need world class kick boxing skills to slow him down and get him on the defensive.
Dude pulls out every dirty trick in the book and still gets completely outclassed. Conor even tried getting punched in the face while laying trapped on his back to gas out Kabib as Dominick Cruse so expertly pointed out. I was baffled to see that technique didn’t work.
@@billblaski9523hahaha, yeah it’s funny to listen to Dom call fights. “Hes trying to gas Kabib out buy laying there and getting hit in the face not taking damage “ Joe, he’s not trying to gas him out he’s getting smashed. Dom…I think it’s a mixture of everything. Lmao
There is people who talks and there is people who act. This is a masterpiece, and you can’t get tired of watching this over again. Thank you Khabib for a great history!
I love the comments. During the event, the crowd was chanting for Conor's win. But the time showed the true face of him and his bois, and the true face of the Eagle and his team mates (Brothers). Huge respect for Khabib. True warrior and Man of God.
@@stephenkiszenia79 the ones who worship false gods are drunk on proper 12 and their women are sleeping around and showing their bodies for everyone to look at. Khabib's people are the opposite. They pray to the God of Abraham and Moses and follow the way of Mother Mary, Jesus Christ and Prophet Muhammad.

Actually remember seeing this live. It really was one of the best main events I’ve ever seen. Down to khabib jumping the fence. I think the “it’s only business” was a last ditch effort to lower khabibs defenses.

I loved Khabibs double take there, "let's talk now".
Like seriously Conor, you're gonna try and back pedal on everything you said and did leading up to this fight as only promotion? So many lines were crossed you don't just get to say "I didn't actually mean it" after all that.
Such a pathetic display, and I honestly wish Khabin hadn't choked Conor out in round 4 but instead put another 8 minutes of brutal ground and pound on him take the lopsided decision.
7:26 "Let's talk now."
That line made me a Khabib fan.

then that elbow .. oh!
Or is he saying "less talk now"... That would be cold too. Connor talks so much...
But there's "less talk now"
I love Irish people but mcgcgr whiskey is not gonna safe him
Fans makes this fight exciting oley oley
Grabbing the cage, grabbing his gloves, grabbing his shorts... still got smeshed. What a fight
Illegal knee to stop the kimura attempt etc.
Felt like Herb Dean had a memo from Dana to try to make Connor wins yet Khabib still won
Yep, mctapper and his whiskey were not enough to stop pure discipline. 🥃
And the copious amounts of shots to the back of Khabib's head, especially in that first round
making him lose a round…

Khabib's exceptional character traits are truly remarkable. Outside the battlefield of the ring, he never harms anyone. Just as a tiger fiercely clamps down on its prey, weakening it to bring it under control, Khabib also launches devastating attacks to dominate his opponents. He is one of the greatest fighters in history, remaining undefeated in 29 matches! Truly a man blessed by Allah, Khabib is the successor of the Muslim warrior Khalid Ibn Al-Walid.

Allah Hu Akbar ☝🏼
Khabib🦅
Watched this fight at least 20-25 times. But it's never get old 🤜🤛
Wat do u think about the leg dive 10 sec into the fight 😂😂😂
@@moea6136 it was amazing
@@moea6136honestly, overall Khabib dominated him. What do you think fighting is just punching in the face? I iwll immobilise your arms and see how well those punched do you
@@moea6136what do you think about 8:45 and that illegal knee?
That’s a bit much kid.
Khabib Nurmagomedov is so beautiful in his wrestling and very powerful too. No wonder he’s undefeated and inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame.
absolutely trash for the ufc to not give khabib the glory. he was in waiting room wtf
@@coronagaming3942 bro never forgets to say bismillah before fighting 😅 absolute tank khabib is
This is an AI comment lol
@@yeah6977
Are you a troll? A heckler of sorts?
Each weightclass-winner should face each winner of all weightclasses. Only then will we know who the best UFC-Legend is.
I have watched this fight so many times and it will never get old. EVER!
why khabib why you don't go fight again 😢 i know his father dead by f*cking Corona virus that why he can't fight again his mom said don't fight again
he fight no more cause covid is bullshit! And he whooped everybody's ass. undefeated.
Unfortunately Khabib went out like a coward. Just like his father to the common cold.

UFC took off after this match. So many more people became interested in MMA. Historical match.
"Why isn't he trying to get up?"
"Because he's exhausted and he's getting his face punched in."
LMAO
Yeah that was funny
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

In this Bloodiest sport we witnessed a man who never bleed...
Respect you Khabib 🐐...
Bare Knuckle Boxing gotta be the bloodiest
Because he lays on everyone, obv he wont bleed, Your logic is flawed
Bro Khabib has almost never been hit in the face
Respectfully, Khabibs fight style was heavily defensive through his high pressure offense. It's not impressive that you dont bleed if you fight like Khabib. For example. Jon Jones and GSP can fight like Khabib. But sometimes they want to stand and fight. That's when everyone bleeds easily. If Khabib fought like McGregor, he'd bleed every fight
@@nitinTDM Its like saying if you stab yourself, then you will bleed. But if you don't then obviously you don't bleed, therefore there is nothing impressive about that. 🤦♂. Its a fight, a fight that starts on the feet. Whether it stays on the feet or goes to the ground or gets knocked out while doing so (like curtis blaydes v derrick lewis) depends on your skill level. There are plenty of fighters in UFC, strikers, wrestlers, grapplers of different levels, but none was able to come out the cage after every fight without cuts all over there face. Then how come its only Khabib who never bled? why can't the rest of the UFC roster can't just 'lay' on their opponent and get the win with a clean face? Your logic is not only flawed but filled with bias and hatred.
Weird thing is that the fight is not about who is more ruthless, but about who is more control. Connor was always aggressive, ruthless, hate-spewing and he basically broke many fighters even before the fight. McGregor did a lot to break the fight prep of Khabib, but not only did it not work on Khabib, it solidified Khabib's position as a person in control. Khabib was raised in environment where you have to develop mental resilience over physical strength as in Dagestan you have a lot of strong boys around you. You have to learn to control your mental state and then build yourself like a tank. If you look deep down what made this fight so great, it was not only that 2 different worlds of fighting collided in the cage, it was two different philosophies of fighting. UFC has to scout more fighters from all over the world to show that fighting is incredibly diverse depending what was the upbringing of the fighter.
Yeah, Khabib is not the type to trash talk or play games before the fight. He just stays focused and wan't to get out there because that's where he shows his opponents who the better man is. Khabib is definitely not the type of guy to get flustered by trash talk or let it get to him. It's sad when someone at the level of a ufc fighter would let trash talk affect their performance.
True words my friend! And also keep in mind, on the top of all that, khabib is muslim, just that already teaches u mad self discipline and how to not let your emotions get ahold of you.
Plus, how can a man scare you when the only thing that you’re afraid of is god 🤣
thrash talking makes the fights more entertaining.. no problem with that… but, when it’s turn to insults on your family or religion, it’s not about business anymore ….
I think effecting someone like Khabib with pre-fight trash talk is very very difficult. He seems to be way to stoic to letting something like that effect him. Still it might have worked even on him, at least to a degree, if Conor had displayed more maturity and self-control leading up to the fight. They way he carried himself in the interviews made it clear for everyone to see, that this guy had at that point completely lost his mind. Everything that came out of his mouth was nothing but result of the mess he was inside. When a guy in that kind of mental state trash talks someone like Khabib, it's never going to work. He'd have to take him serious first. Which clearly he had no reason to.

Who's watching today. The Eagle 🦅❤
Hi
I watched this in a pub full of Irish guys. I'm an American and was rooting for khabib. Amazing fight
The one between you and the Irish guys or the ufc one?
Lol
@@redphoenixfire7755 I dodged that bullet lol. I think the post fight brawl totally distracted us all.
I always wondered what would have happened if Conor landed that counter left at 13:40
why root for khabib boring ahh fighter
"It's only business..." was fear in a phrase. He must have felt so impotent that he had to literally beg for his health. Total destruction by Khabib. Epic build up and epic fight!
"Let's talk now" xD
Physically, mentally, and spiritually defeated. Absolute domination. God he praised.
The trashtalk is leaving her soul
it don't sound like "it's only business"
That fight destroyed Connor‘s further career
“Let’s talk now” from Kabib towards the end was one of the best things I’ve ever heard in my life.
I came after the Tyson and Paul match
Eww gross
Stop Asking Who’s Still Watching!
We Never Stop Watching To This MASTERPIECE!!.
McGregor's highest paid fights are him getting beat up
Sleep. Go to sleep.
Khabib gave Conor punishment for his lifetime. He will never forget it, he really changed his face.
Exactly

Khabib energy is way beyond any one else, that squeeze at the end made conor tap is unbelievable, how khabib still got the power after 4 rounds of smashing and squeezing just wow
Shit was personal you could tell
Submission win is not bravest thing
khabib the most boring fighter
@@keelee969I thought Khabib was boring too, but when your that strong and u don't have that great of a striking game,sure your gonna do what u do best and that's ragdoll your opponents and his ground & pound is just on another level, nobody can hang,and I hope your not one of the idiots that think Nate Diaz could beat Khabib,Diaz wouldn't win 1 round and he probably would get beat too death, just think He totally dominated Conor and Conor beat Diaz and in the 1st fight Conor was tagging Diaz and knocked him down a few times, Conor was totally dominated by Khabib,it wasn't even close..
@@keelee969 He makes the fights look easy, thus boring for you.
I haven't seen a lot of UFC fights, but this is the first one I see someone putting so much anger in his hits as Khabib
It's connor, he's always pissed.
Who’s here after the Xevi video? 😅
I've watched this fight 20 times... Still gets goosebumps
goosebumps really?
@@ded.moroz. fake cuz yo boy lost?😂
Lmao Mctapper fan boys are still mad..calling this a fake fight 🤣 😂..he completely dominated that big mouth. He was never the same after this beating. Only fight he won after this was a old cowboy who fought for the paycheck which he definitely deserved but was way passed his time to beat Connor..he lost both fights to Diaz in most educated fight fans..and basically hasn't done shit since besides being a typing tough guy
Khabib is GOAT
@@BLESSESGUYSIN jones is the GOAT
This fight will never be forgotten.
Everyone has forgotten this fight but no one has forgot McGregor. And soon he has a new fight allso.
@@HeikkiGrönbergyou clearly haven't forgot... And chandler will win. If he gets through usada
In my opinion this match was mediocre. For one thing, anyone that takes on Khabib would need world class kick boxing skills to slow him down and get him on the defensive.
@@HeikkiGrönberg why u here if u don't forgot😂u def remember this loss from mcnugget
@@abura2980 Actually no. Still traumatized.
Let Khabib "wrestle himself out" is one of the most hilarious statements I have ever heard watching UFC.
😂😂it's like saying let Mayweather box himself out 😂😂😂
“Leave the shark in the water until it drowns”
The buildup, the walkouts, the fight, and the aftermath of this battle were amazing. It's one of my best memories as a sports fan.
It was. A clash between two worlds. East and west.
Dude pulls out every dirty trick in the book and still gets completely outclassed. Conor even tried getting punched in the face while laying trapped on his back to gas out Kabib as Dominick Cruse so expertly pointed out. I was baffled to see that technique didn’t work.
Lol one of just many brilliant moments of Dominik Cruz😂
Dude is such a clown that I actually can't help but be a fan
8:25
@@billblaski9523hahaha, yeah it’s funny to listen to Dom call fights. “Hes trying to gas Kabib out buy laying there and getting hit in the face not taking damage “ Joe, he’s not trying to gas him out he’s getting smashed. Dom…I think it’s a mixture of everything. Lmao
There is people who talks and there is people who act. This is a masterpiece, and you can’t get tired of watching this over again. Thank you Khabib for a great history!
you realize the buildup is the reason you cared about the fight?
McGregor literally has a better resume than Khabib. LOL.
Bro if it wasn't for Conor, Kebab would be working at Mc D's right now. "Thx Khabib for history" lmao.

I love the comments. During the event, the crowd was chanting for Conor's win. But the time showed the true face of him and his bois, and the true face of the Eagle and his team mates (Brothers).
Huge respect for Khabib. True warrior and Man of God.
Dieu rien a voire
A false god.
@@stephenkiszenia79 the ones who worship false gods are drunk on proper 12 and their women are sleeping around and showing their bodies for everyone to look at. Khabib's people are the opposite. They pray to the God of Abraham and Moses and follow the way of Mother Mary, Jesus Christ and Prophet Muhammad.
Mcgregor so poor that he gave up in the fourth round, Gaethje in the second, Poirier in the third, Barboza in the third I have to go on, if he was so poor he would finalize it in the first round no?
@@stephenkiszenia79 God you say, Tanrı i say in Turkish and Arabs say Allah (which means God). Educate yourself.
Khabib really knows how to use his weight against his opponent, simply splendid
Yeah, he specially went for a weight class lower than his natural weight so he doesn't get beaten by the better fighters 😂
Khabib really is a kid😂,he dont know how ro fight
@@xRlly Weight cutting doesn't make you better honestly it is extremely hard to lower your weight because you eat less and drink less water while still training
man beating an elite wrestler like khabib is hard af
