Ain’t crying at all….stating facts….his style is weak as f*ck
It’s all about who comes Out with the win at the end of the day khabib is 28-0 so go s*ck a d and cry somewhere else khabib is to damn good in the ground and no one can beat him
Any b*m named after him is weak too
Just stating facts son…..khabib is weak……when he stops avoiding the real fighters he will get owned
There’s only Ferguson left, he’ll f*ck him up too.
You cant be that damnd ignorant.
Do u make the Tarzan call while you’re swinging on khabib balls??
Khabib is a b*m…..and so is anyone swinging on his nutz
Khabib is a p*ssy….all he does is grab and hold u….he is not a real fighter….he has no hands….
it’s Tony time baby!
Khabib is scared of him…..ferg is too big for him now….he might put khabib to sleep lol
You really are a d*mb.
ARE YOU SERIOUS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO FIGHT AND TONY HURT HIS P*SSY THE NIGHT BEFORE SAME AS MAX HALLOWAY , EVERY ONES WANTS TO STUDY HIM MORE LOL AND HONESTLY YOU’D BETTER CAUSE IF YOUR NOT PREPARED FOR HIS GRAPPLING ITS GONE BE A LONG NIGHT LOL
Khabib style is boring, Tony is smarter and more creative. We’ll see!
F*ck you these are techniques. Why Stupid Dustin hold his neck was that fair?
It’s called wrestling, idi*t. If you can’t beat a wrestler at his game, you’ll be beat in MMA.
Good submission.
I hate Khabib’s fight style but damn he totally dominated Dustin!
He didnt dominate him…..Dustin actually put hands on him and of course khabib pussied up
Only one p*ssy tapped
Are you blind or just Stupid?
no doubt dustin didn’t win and will never win agains khabib there will never be a rematch and someone needs to help dustin he might kill himself
Khabib just might be the mayweather of his sport. & By that I mean he was literally bred to do wut he does from birth….pre-birth really. Lomachenko is in that class as well. ..
By that u mean fighting like a little b*tch??…because that’s the same sh*t Mayweather did…..b*ms fighting scared
Mayweather took on the best and beat them all. WTF are you smoking?
Oh please…..he waited to fight the best til they weren’t in their prime any more……he is a p*ssy just like khabib is
I’ll make sure I stay away from that crack ur smokin like I always do…..holler at me when u can put him in a class with Deontay Wilder……someone who comes out swinging and dont play
The guy who got outclassed in his last fight by the dude who was off for 3 yrs depressed & suicidal, 175lbs overweight & really on crack….that guy? Ok.
Beat it douchebag.
U obviously dont watch boxing because you’re too busy doing Tarzan on khabib balls?…..no one wants to see wilder…..ain’t no one scared of khabib…..
My brother, send me location. I will make you humble.
What u gonna do??…come to my house and and squeeze my legs?..stop choking on shish khabib u b*tch
Objectively, Khabib is obviously a bada*s fighter and a worthy champ.
BUT— subjectively, as a fight fan.. I can’t help but sigh, groan, and resort to calling him a pus*y as I watch his “fights”.
I find him especially annoying when— after a round 1 where the final 3:45 is slow dragging Khabullshit, ending in a few landed shots followed by punkass trash talk— we get a round 2 start with some sustained action where Khabib actually trades blows.. and is quickly exposed as less than ordinary in his stand up!.. SO— like clockwork at 1:15 into the round he shoots for the legs, brings it to the ground and Zzzzzz….zzzzzz…zzzzzzzzz. Congrats champ you win the human-anaconda contest.. wake us up when you strike first like a real fighter.
