A person who has trained with multiple weapons can lose to a person who has trained with only one type of weapon & vice versa. Khabib's samba is wrestling + brawling. The standup is not technique based enough to be called boxing. He does abit of jiu-jitsu jitsu chokes yet bashes jiu-jitsu. He doesn't throw kicks or do tony ferguson wing chun elbows. So khabib is a 2 dimension fighter. Brawling from his shoulder swings like a flail from him favoring wrestling to striking. Mcgregor was a left hand striker with better kicks than khabib to the leg, yet still no knockout kicks. Takedown defense started late training I guess. Tony Ferguson is well rounded, he just needs more wrestlers strength / leg day. Also cardio is a factor too. Every fighter can still view tapes of every other fighter. The surprise is more about where they are focused now / present goals.
Joe is so stoned here lol!
Joe looks exhausted or slightly drunk in this one
Khabib Is a specialist
