Fuck is he apologizing for? He’s right. Khabib does look beatable, he also ate quite a few shots in his last fights. He hardly throws any combos and has zero head movement. His success is based on his insane grappling and strong chin. In time people will figure him out just like Anderson got figured out, or Ronda, or Palhares etc. All seemingly “unbeatable” fighters because they were extremely dominant in one area until people figured out how to beat them in other areas. Khabib is a beast but not invincible.
IMO Zabit looked way more impressive. That dude is something else.
A good striker who had good TDD will give kabib lots of trouble.

Who in the division can claim that? Al is a good striker with college level wrestling...

No shit, we saw that with Barboza and Al.

GSP is a freak, one of the few fighters with NO collegiate wrestling background who became a great MMA wrestler. Prime GSP would be a serious problem for Khabib.

Just like Barbosa did.
Gotta give Joseph some props for being able to see the big picture and correct himself. It's rare in this biz.

"Good Striker" ? nah, he's a half competant striker with heavy hands. If that is what we as MMA fans are classing as the standard of good striking then it's just sad. Khabib fights Conor anything even close to the way he fought Al those last 3 rounds he gets slept with ease.

Agree, Al is a decent striker who hits hard.
on the flip side if khabib fights like conor anything like he did the first two rounds or most of his other fights he breaks conor and finishes him before championship rounds.
Joe had nothing to apologise for.
He was right.
Khabib looked less than spectacular in the stand up.
The commentary was favoring al. If you weren’t watching the action and just listening you would think al was dominating.
He wasnt..

Khabib vs Aldo would be fun to watch. Yeah I know not same weight class, but I think Aldo at 155 can handle this.
Joe didn’t need to apologize. Kevin Lee and Tony would both beat Khabib after seeing his fight with Al. I’d also add Conor to the list if he can survive the first round with Khabib.
I'm so sick of Rogan's trying to hype a fight. Every time AL even threw a punch he yells WHOO!!! and makes it seem like Kabib was rocked. In truth he did this with every fight so he's consistant with his stupidity.
One things for sure, there's a lot less fear of Khabib after that fight.
Damaynevent -Joe didn’t need to apologize. Kevin Lee and Tony would both beat Khabib after seeing his fight with Al. I’d also add Conor to the list if he can survive the first round with Khabib.
This. I said the same thing.
Hes just not as good as everyone thought. When the takedown fails, Khabib becomes a goddamn liability on the feet.
His striking was abysmal.
Consistently plodding forward, on the heels of his feet, no pep in his step whatsoever. He doesn't tuck his chin, he leaves his face unguarded whenever he attacks with his lead hand. He backs straight up when attacked, and almost ritualistically drops the left arm.
Conor would drop that cross down the center like a hammer, its right there for the taking.
