We still haven't really seen Justin's wrestling but I think being a D1 All-American NCAA wrestler gives him a better shot than any of Khabib's last few opponents. I dont see Khabib dominating him on the ground the way he does everyone else but we'll see. Going into last night, my only concern was Gaethje's endurance but he just proved he can go 25 minutes without gassing like he did in the Alvarez and Poirier fights.
Conor talking a lot of shit about all the other top 5 LW's is embarrassing. Now he wants to fight Gaethje? He coulda been had that fight in January but he chose the easier opponent. Cant take this dude seriously until he fights and wins against an opponent who isn't on a losing streak.

You dont have to like that hes been inactive, but hes got a better resume than every fighter in the top 5 khabib included.
Wins over aldo, holloway, mendes, porier
Theres probably the top two 145ers of all time, and chad is up there in those rankings too.
Alvarez is one of if not the best 155 other than khabib.
and (this ones kind of funny but 🤷🏻♂️) hes the only guy to ever win a round off khabib.
plus its not like cerrone is a scrub. Hes never held a belt but hes a really good fighter. More fighters should take a matchup they consider a good style matchup when coming back from a layoff.
I love Justin. hes one oF my favorite fighters, but conors resume>>>>>
I'm not saying what he's done isn't impressive. I'm just sick of him. He's all talk now. Also he 100% ducked Gaethje in January. Conor watched Gaethje KO cowboy in September and picked the guy face down on the floor. Conor didnt wanna take that risk and neither did Dana. I would have been pretty mad if he got a 3rd shot at the LW belt when he has 0 fights at LW.

khabib isnt as good of a boxer, but his athleticism is enough for him to hang with justin long enough to get it on the ground. Which wont be long lol.
