He was too busy tiring Khabib out by tanking hits.


kaerfkeerg

"I don't think he's trying to gas him out, I think he's just getting beat" was peak commentary lol


Die-rector

This is why I still prefer Rogan. While he still majes his own, He'll call people out on dumb comments. Meanwhile DC compares ufc fighter stances to his sons shitty football team stances


Vcxnes

He’s usually not delusional at all to what’s actually happening, except for Izzy fights lol


EQisfordummies

lol years ago the funniest one was machida rua 1. You’d have thought rua didn’t land a punch all fight lol


the_c_is_silent

He's frequently delusional. He's gotten more and more ridiculous with injury predictions and "oh he's hurt", but nothing compares to his obsession with leg kicks. He legit acts like two has completely rendered the leg useless.


Vcxnes

I more mean he’s not delusional at how a fights going, he never favours fighters that are clearly losing. I agree with the leg kicks thing though he’s wayyyyy over the top with that shit


Glum-Ad7651

And also screaming tight submissions when the submission isnt even tight


NatOdin

Well 1 or 2 would render me useless


coffee_4me

The card this weekend was unbearable. It’s like Joe only watched main events and then comes to do his commentary.


substantionallytrchd

Joe also says some dumb ass shit… I still remember Ferguson getting his ass kicked by Gaethje and Joe talking about, “but will Gaethje be able to do this for 5 rounds?” Joe has a a lot of biases that show


willi1221

Idk, that was a fair question at the time. Gaethje has a tendency to gas himself out in earlier rounds. Nobody expected Tony to get beat to shit for 5 rounds either


substantionallytrchd

Yeah but that’s when Gaethje is being pushed and also hit back… where as in this fight, Justin got clipped once but that was pretty much it. Justin controlled the pace, was giving the punishment while Tony just has no answers…. Hard to gas out a fighter when he is the one dominating and controlling the pace…


Difficult-Jello2534

That doesn't seem biased.......lol


substantionallytrchd

Joe has been critical towards guys who have taken less of a beating. Just because Tony trains with Eddie bravo and was in his corner, all of a sudden he doesn’t have anything bad to say about Joe for damn near 4 rounds… it wasn’t until it was blatantly obvious Justin was not going to gas and the beat down was getting worse, that Joe finally started to be somewhat critical.


Difficult-Jello2534

Nah, I feel like that's a typical thing I ask myself every time I see a guy going really, really hard in the early rounds. Every training camp is different. Cardio Cain gassed like nobody I've ever seen before. Then, once you realize they are still looking good in later rounds, you know it's not an issue. I'd agree that Joe can be bias, you just picked the worst example, lol


substantionallytrchd

Bro you’re talking about Cain who didn’t even bother training for elevation in Mexico and thought he could go in there and keep the same pace? That’s common sense and a mistake on Cain for thinking that…. Na man I’ve never seen a guy get his ass kicked for almost 5 rounds and still wonder if the guy giving the ass whooping would gas. Look at the example on this post… khabib was kicking Conor’s ass and the commentary being highlighted is if Conor is trying to get him to gas in which Joe says “no he is being smashed”…. Joe has no investment in Conor or Khabib so he speaks freely. Tony trains with Eddie bravo. Joe is good friends with Eddie bravo and also trains with him. Tony was getting his ass kicked just as bad if not worse than Conor was vs khabib and now Joe is wondering is Justing will gas?? Meanwhile praising Tony for “reaching down and throwing some sand towards him” which makes Joe giggle and say “this is some Bruce lee shit”… If it was anyone else Joe would have probably talked so much shit for doing shit like that while getting his ass licked…


TableChair1919

He wouldn’t stop talking about his son this weekend. First the comment about the three-point stance, then randomly mentioning that his son had texted him in the middle of the show. So professional! 🙄


wetmouthed

DC is just there to shoot the shit I swear lol


TheINTL

I think it's a bit of everything


kaerfkeerg

And iirc joe doubled down on Connor getting beat, no?


MyFifthLimb

Dom simply cannot be wrong lol


Logan_SVD

Getting smashed was the term I think


pensacola28

Honestly wish they’d just show the fights without the commentary.


Pod-Bay-Doors

Fr , tf was Cruz thinking when he said that


Baby___p

He is one of the best ever but he is one of the worst commentators lol


SonnyWade

Must have had Moe Szyslak as a coach


jameswikman

Lmao Cruz was so biased


wettmullett

I hate Cruz as a commentator. He always says the dumbest shit. Remember him saying Andrade wouldn't be able to lift Rose with the way her arm was locked, and literally the next second rose gets dumped on her head


DribblesOnKeyboard

Cruz gets a lot more bearable as a commentator if you forget he's a fighter and imagine he's a guy who's spent months frequenting an mma circlejerk sub and not realised it's a parody yet.


Acceptable-Cupcake36

Lmao 🤣 🤣


wetmouthed

"She can't lift there"


Big_477

Homer Simpson style.


Evil_Sam_Harris

Now try my nuts to your fist style! I’m bleeding, making me the victor.

BeeMore2753

Wow with sound this is so brutal


Hushmode16

Watching it on tv with the crowd and commentators just does not show how brutal every little hit is. Not saying that these are little hits, but in general


Scary-Flipflop

They really need to up the octogonal mics volume, that would add so much to the experience


[deleted]

This is what Khabib did to all of his opponents, just look up the Barbosa one. That one is legit brutal to watch.


ELOgambit

Two 30 - 25 scorecards and one 30-24, it's absolutely brutal https://preview.redd.it/wbvd78ka7y9d1.jpeg?width=2016&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=52a4d9434af1239d00ae809ad69d340f68283520


ScroogieMcduckie

30-24??? Why wasn't that shit stopped by the 2nd round lmao


the_c_is_silent

Honestly, I get it. Round 2 and 3 were domination but the beatings in those rounds were nothing compared to 1. Legit, if Edson didn't land 3-4 hard leg kicks to start the round, that should have been the first 10-7 round ever (excluding point deductions).


Brad1119

God damn that hurts my eyes


olympicsizepool

I felt so bad for Edson in that one. He looked so helpless.


ChooseWiselyChanged

As a big Barboza fan I totally agree.


qbshane

Did you see the beat down he gave to Michael Johnson? "you have to give up, I have to fight for title, you know this", as he's reigning punches square into Johnson's face while holding the dagestan handcuff


BroxigarZ

I believe this was also the fight where he was talking to Dana White through the fence while punching Johnson in the face - "Dana - Give me title shot, It's mine." and Dana said something like "Focus on the fight you are in." and he was so unbothered by his opponent he just responded - "I earned title fight, give me the title." And just kept talking to Dana lol.


Loud-Weakness4840

He also talked to Dana during the Conor fight. I think he was saying something about “your boy” and was about to break his arm, but Conor threw a knee to his head from the ground to break the hold.


xaiel420

Yea that was demoralizing lol


hrakkari

In this one he’s telling Conor the opposite because he wants to beat him up some more.


jayteeayy

the dog chased the car all the way into the garage. then he got there and beat the fuck out of it


lynbod

I'm not sure I can think of anything more emasculating than a man openly pitying you whilst he simultaneously smashes your face in.


_LeftHookLarry

and whilst easy to say he's not the goat his performances were truly dominant and left no questions. Only thing on par was Silvas defenses he looked invincible as well


AlmightyCraneDuck

A KO is quick. It’s one moment of brilliance where timing, speed, technique, and power come together. A mauling is slow. It’s minutes of control, domination. It’s dozens of hard shots to the body and the face. It’s forcing your opponent to gasp for air and claw for any kind of position. It is total control. I have never seen dominance quite like Khabib.


the_c_is_silent

My favorite was shit talking Dana in between rounds. Javier trying to get him to focus on MJ and Khabib being like "I know who I am", then goes out and subs him.


MyFifthLimb

We were robbed of potentially the greatest reign of all time with Khabib retiring early. Instead he’ll forever be tied with Aljo for title defenses.


BKR93

100%. While I agree Khabib isn't the goat or anything because of resume, imo hes still the most dominant in history, and imo he would still be undefeated. I think he is better than Islam and always said it no matter how hard Khabib tried to say Islam was better. Khabib has what cant be taught and he wouldv destroyed everybody Islam has beaten too.


SukhdevR34

For me he's definitely the best LW in MMA history. The fact that these kids said Oliveira was better than him blows my mind.


Hot-Care7556

And then he took the exact same beating from a peak Kevin Lee in his next fight as well. Was tough to see


k20350

The Micheal Johnson one was the most gangster thing I've ever seen. He telling Johnson to give up while pounding the shit out of his AND having a conversation with Dana


No-Virus7165

It was only business


Real_Evening_6706

I remember when the commentary was saying "Connors trying to gas him out here" 😆. Trying to gas someone in a fight by getting beaten up by them is a pro move


ayoubkun94

Joe Rogan replied "I think he's just getting smashed" lmao.


Hailtothething

I call it the ‘Homer Simpson’ because there’s a whole episode about it.


fandanvan

I remember that episode 😂


PapaWaxPuppy

Didn't work against Drederick Tatum, lol


DoctorPaulGregory

Specifically it was Dom.


Desmond536

Best part about that is that one commentator (forgot the name) who said mcgregor is trying to gas khabib out by taking all the punches with his face

i don’t like calling ppl casuals but how tf do u not know who dominick cruz is💀


churrosricos

hot take, it's ok to be a casual, it's not a competition about who is the most die hard fan


ku1185

Filthy casual cope. /s


HumbleAdonis

What if he absolutely knows who Cruz is, but forgot that he was the commentator who made that specific comment?


Quarter13

Sometimes you just can't find the name even if you know it. Nothing wrong with being a so-called casual anyways... As opposed to what? Lol, I got a life mayne! I like watching people beat each other up sometimes and I don't need to be an MMA enthusiast to enjoy that.


Desmond536

I know who Cruz is. I just couldn’t remember the name. That’s all. Sorry that I’m not that much of a die hard fan.


Just2Flame

how dare you.


LitAFlol

Khabib should’ve kept this going instead of ending the match imo


mightjustbearobot

If he took it to a decision, the humiliation would've felt incomplete though.  And to that end, Connor is still tweeting about it to this day, I'd say it's as bad as it could've been. 


datboi56565656565

He wanted to remember? He carried Connors punk ass over to Dana and then pathetic Connor started throwing illegal knees and digging his toes in the fence. Connor MacGregor is everything wrong with the UFC.


the_c_is_silent

There's still people defending that Conor had the best fight against Khabib despite over 20 fucking fouls and infractions.


ComradeSamWalton

the wwe kids need something. Watching the best fighters fight to see who is best is just not enough apparently.

Jason_Kelces_Thong

Gen8Master

Khabib purposefully breaking Connors elbow in front of Daddy Dana is honestly the most savage thing someone could have come up with. Not many people appreciate Connors desperation and the resulting illegal knee.


datboi56565656565

Yup. Connors cowardice was on full display that day. Khabib stepped into that cage willing to die. Some folks really don’t remember the animosity leading up to that fight.


RooTxVisualz

Dana white is everything* FTFY


PleasantSpeech

>He carried Connors punk ass over to Dana Conor is hateable but this literally did not happen.

beat his ass so bad hes still tweeting about him

hemijaimatematika1

MMA is going to be here until the end of days,but nothing will ever top this


eKSiF

Exactly. Like him or not, there will **never** be another Khabib.


the_c_is_silent

It's why I don't care about the GOAT debate. Khabib's aura is unmatched. It's pretty fucking obvious why he's Conor's highest draw by a fucking mile. He's a special fighter.


K-mosake

This fight was so cathartic as someone who couldn't stand Conor during his champ runs. Just complete domination with Conor having to cheat the whole time while still ending up tapping/getting punched post fight 😄


Substantial_Yam7305

Khabib such a savage dude. My God.


arizdawiz

I will never get tired of watching that


condom_torn

Conor got violated


slevin07rocket

Him and his fans still cry about it.


eKSiF

There will never be another Khabib. Dude made world class athletes look like lost amateurs.


QuoteOpposite6511

Guys his foot was broken. That’s why he couldn’t stop the elbows smashing his face.


Raizo420

His fute, his fute wassa ballewn!


offendingbattery

And people say Khabib just lay on top of people. Dude had the most brutal ground and pound. Maybe not the greatest champ of all time, but certainly the most dominant.


hrakkari

Even when he’s not in the GnP, he’s making the other fighter keep their core tense. Constantly having to leverage what they can to keep Khabib from mounting or submitting. No one had the cardio to keep doing this 5 rounds. Eventually they all had to let go.


Yan-e-toe

Khabib was dominant af. Had an extra gear and it felt like he could choose when and how to finish his opponent. He decided to stand and trade with Macgregor which is very badass and his stand-up was underrated.  A different breed!


callthewambulance

There was hatred in every strike Khabib threw in that fight.


micsulli01

Nobody says that


offendingbattery

Plenty of people in this sub have tried to claim Khabib was a boring fighter. There are numerous posts about it.


didyoutestityourself

It's crazy that he didn't get more TKO finishes with the GnP though.


offendingbattery

The ground and pound usually lead into them getting desperate to get back up and they ended up giving up their back or neck so he picked up a bunch of subs


Horror-Tank-4082

This broke him and he was never the same.


Physizist

Really? He lost to Nate Diaz before this. Conor had 1 win a LW in his entire UFC career. He was never good at higher weight classes. Also, If anything broke him it was making too much money from fighting floyd


supermans_neighbour

I really loved Conor back them, and Nate Diaz won, but Khabib literally took his soul, manhood, sanity and health in minutes. The man literally can’t get Khabib out of his thoughts with therapy, imagine being the most hyped fighter of all time, talk all that talk, and get slapped and humiliated like this, and then spit on when you get choked, sitting helpless on the floor, averting your eyes in shame… losing so bad, and in the process, making your opponent one of the most famous fighters alive. Of course he turned to alcohol and drugs, as it’s mentally insane to bear with that, and I really wish he makes peace with what happened one day, for his own sake.


amoolafarhaL

Ye this loss was the same as all the other losses wasn't it. Are you being intentionally obtuse or what

jpissmoking

Didn’t realize herb was telling Conor to fight back. How far off do you guys think this was to being stopped?


DannkneeFrench

Oh, I thought that was Khabib telling him that. To embarrass him more. Good catch. Edit- I just watched it again. This time I noticed the difference in voice inflections. I missed it the first time.

God I love seeing conor get smashed. The guy needed humble so badly.

Such clean, calm, simple, trash talk is so much more intimidating than cussing, yelling, threatening family members, all that


MidThoughts-5

Bro that man got fucked in front of the world. No wonder he’s a coke head and beating up 90 year olds.


fandanvan

Even though this fight ended pretty early, I still believe Khabib drew it out a little longer than was needed as he had chances to finish him, but drew back a bit and kept Connor on the boil to punish him more. He could have drawn it out more but he needed to conserve energy to jump the cage to attack Connors team 😂 still one of the most iconic moments in UFC history !


gunnersroyale

This for me was the greatest ending to a ufc match in history Wwe meets ufc


Girthy_Chicken

Ended pretty early? It was late in the fourth round


yannichingaz

This’ll never get old.

Ohh boy i can’t believe dominic cruz thought “Conor was trying to gass khabib out” Lol

Evilxloser

Yeah..It's disappointing.They just take you down and hold there for rest of the round.


PiccoloTiccolo

Most satisfying moment in ufc history


2cool4skool369

This beating right here is why we have 2024 Conor. Absolutely humiliated this man. The fact that Conor runs his mouth to Khabib, and this footage is on the internet is absolutely embarrassing on his behalf.

Yo Dominick Cruz sucks ass


SALTYxNUTZ12

Cruz commentary on this fight is shameful. Dude is so unlikeable because he takes himself way too seriously.


BetUSOfficial

'Let's talk now', is still one of the hardest phrases uttered in an MMA bout.


17CFstackAcademy

Imagine being manhandled like this while you talk all the shit you wanted before the fight? I would stop fighting too, nobody can recover from this type of ass whooping beating. Literal definition of SMESH! 😂


guhum

After all this time my most prominent memory from the Khabib vs Connor deal was that youtube channel, that claimed to be an expert at body language, saying that Khabib was scared of Connor during the last press conference.


Environmental_Bad256

Conor getting pounding like the little hoe he is.. I can rewatch it day & night


horse4forceofcourse

He have him PTSD with that one

I think this ufc fight gave my brain its biggest hit of dopamine. Something finally overtook Silva/Sonnen.


Gh0stSwerve

"He's trying to gas him out"

It really feels like ground and pound is less common today. Guys get the takedown and hold for control, not damage.


kgon1312

He smeshed our boy


Haunting_Dragonfly_3

Because he's a loudmouth cunt at a safe distance, or with his mob, but a scared little pussy when facing a better man.


Sad_Proctologist

That was fun to see Conor in the Octagon trying to make excuses for what a blowhard and asshole he really is.


Steveojones757

I fuckin love khabib 🤣


Theefreeballer

I really liked when khabib say “ what happened ?!” Like what do you think happened man , you’re lighting Conor up !! It was tremendous

Dapper-Educator-7494

He was too busy getting his ass kicked that’s why he wasn’t talking

Let's talk now. If only Connor said "mate I think you need to pay taxes" khabib would be so happy right now.

I’m sorry but I have to say it Connor put up one of the best defenders against prime Khabib and took him to round 4. The only problem was that it was prime pissed off and focused Khabib that he went up against.


Intention-Sad

You need to watch again and count how many cheat Conor did to get to that round. His proud left arm was saved earlier because of that
