The difference with Khalib vs a lot of other wrestlers is his persistence and ability to chain wrestle. He can miss 4 TDS but hit the fifth in a matter of a minute and dominate the other 4 minutes of the round on top. 

That said I think Porier is his toughest test and can really put him in trouble standing.

This event is about Russia. Russia has the number 1 fighter on the planet right now. Who am I supposed to talk about & support? A mentally-weak Lafayette boy who's been KO'd in the 1st round two times by guys like Michael under-500 Johnson...? LOLZ. Tell me more about this "boxing" ahaha

Name a middle-Eastern on the card? Other than *lives in US and loves the US Belal Pretend to be a Muhammad*? 

How many Russians are on this card?

The guy who dropped Conor with 1 punch and did THIS to Ragin Iaquinta should worry about Peahead Poiriers boxing?!

I think most of you are hyping up Poirier so you can pretend to be shocked when he gets demolished just like everybody else. 


Or maybe its leftover recency bias from all the people who said Khabib looked bad vs Ragin AL. Idk. Either way its all the same. A shrimp eating kid who needed hair implants isn't going to fly to the richest country in the world and beat a Muslim. Its just not going to happen. 

Khabib is like the Patriots. "this year is the year, Falcons got it...This fight is it man im tellin ya, Dustin The Diaper is gonna shock the world!" 


Nah fam. Just sit back and enjoy the mauling.

Half of these guys are muslims, not russians. Yes.. they may have Russian citizenship but they don't feel Russian. So it's Middle East card

Do you think Muslim/Islam is a race? Honest question?

How are you going to compare Iaquinta striking to Poiriers striking? SERIOUSLY THO LOL?! Iaquinta is nowhere the striker Poirier is. Also, Mcgregor got dropped by that overhand because he was too worried about the takedown, either than that Mcgregor was outstriking Khabib standing. Johnson also stunned Khabib, I’m sure Poirier can definitely crack Khabib also. Poirier will be the most dangerous fighter Khabib has ever faced so far. Poirier is very well rounded compared to Mcgregor, Barboza, Johnson, and Iaquinta.

I think you have your head so far up Khabibs ass man, relax. He’s great but you’re making him out to be a god.

Poirier has made huge improvements since he fought Michael Johnson. Khabib cant punch his way through a wet paper bag and will not hurt a fighter who has been in wars with Alvarez, Gaetje, and Holloway with his stand up. Khabib has nowhere near the power of MJ so I don't understand the comparison or reference to the MJ knockout. Poirier just beat Holloway one of the goats of UFC. Besides MJ could knock out anyone if he catches them on the chin so I don't see that as proof he can't beat Khabib. Poirier is a different animal now, very motivated in  his prime, physically strong & durable with the best gym ATT makes him is a very dangerous fight for Khabib. Khabib gets tired in the 3rd round & no one at LW is better than smashing a fighter who gasses out.

Iaquinta has 8 KO/TKO's to Peaheads 11. 

Ragin has never been stopped by strikes. Poirier has. 




MJ caught Khabib and he giggled. MJ sparked Dustin clean out. Like Conor did. 


Timofey Nastyukhin also KO'd Eddie Alvarez. 


Keep reaching.
