    When Dustin lost to Khabib, he said “when times are good be grateful, when times are tough be graceful” (or something very similar). I never forgot that; I think of that quote any time I’m dealing with stress.

      We would be lucky if there were more fighters like him. Past few years I never count him out. He's the only guy I don't totally count out against Khabib.
      He is an incredible representation of the sport...up there with Nunes, DC, and Stipe.

      Why are so many people in this thread morons? Interim champ is NOT the same as undisputed champ. It’s effectively a glorified number 1 contender. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still an achievement, but Poirier wasn’t THE lightweight champion.

Khabib isn’t training at his usual gym plus his father is ill and I feel like this could negatively affect his performance against Gaetjhe. Gaetjhe is Khabibs toughest opponent yet, stylistically, and is coming into this fight super confident after that win against Ferguson.

If conor wants the fight with the winner of Khabib vs Gaethje, he needs to fight one more time because the cerrone win was not a No.1 Contender fight
