UFC 254: Khabib vs. Gaethje (October 24, 2020)

[Fred The Hammer]

Here's a curveball. What if Masvidal came back down to 155? I'm a huge fan of his! He's just not big enough to beat snoozeman. He's not a big 170 at all. The thing is with his confidence peaking I think he could get the belt possibly! He KO'd Till who's twice his size then he could possibly KO anyone at 155.

Jorge vs CM, Tony, or Justin. Not outmatched anywhere imo

One of the saddest things i ever saw in sports. watching him crying his eyes out thinking of his dad was so sad. Nobody was beating him tonight. That was the best i ever saw him look. Justin could have hit him with the ring post and it would have hurt. what an incredible pace

What about CM Punk's retirement from MMA? Still remember those tears like yesterday.

He'll be back.. They all come back when the money starts to run out.. What is he is gonna do for the rest of his life wrestle bears and chop wood?

He prolly has over 100 million banked. Dana one time alluded to this. He will be just fine Jibby. Don't lose any sleep over this Jibbers. Worry more about those homeless pissing in your yard. Give them something to eat and maybe a roll of toilet paper. Maybe some Clorox wipes and throw a few to me cause it is very hard getting those things anymore.

Cm punk story. He does a lot of the CFFC events doing color. My buddy's kid is on the cusp of going to the ufc. His father went to CMpunk for a little advice and CMpunk treated him like a piece of shit until he found out who he was than change tunes real quick. I understand this guy probably gets harassed all the time by fans but my buddy politely walked up to him not like someone deranged. In CM defense tho he does say on the air "why this kid isn't in the UFC is a mystery to everyone"

My Russian friend said that Russian moms change their minds more than the weather changes, so hopefully we see Khabib again, but I’m really not sure if we will. Khabib is not in this for the money, even though he has made millions, a big money fight won’t be that attractive for him. He has stated multiple times that he doesn’t do this for the money. He wanted to be undefeated when he retired. God bless.

Khabib P4P best?? It’s crazy to think the man has never been knocked down, cut, or bled in his entire career in a combat sport.

Khabib's first MMA fight in Russia.

Gaethje should fight Conor.

That would be a fun fight.

Late as always, but that was a masterful performance by Khabib, and a weak (or forced to look weak) by Gaethje. Great career for Khabib.

After a few losing cards in a row, I managed to do well, despite my early week bets on Gaethje.
