[@RFABProductions]

Mo H lmao for real also I want to point off that when al supposedly was stopping the TD in the later rounds it was so obvious Khabib couldn’t hold him because his leg was full of sweat and it’s slippery as fuck

[@griffinlindsey3212]

Mo H he has at best amateur striking. No head movement.

[@griffinlindsey3212]

Also.... anyone that can cover distance. Like a Conor. Or a Tony or a wonderboy (realize diff weight class) will hive him troubles. All he had is great wrestling. Goes in with a super high level striker that can pick and move from the outside. Major troubles.

[@nam5690]

Actually, that's when you know he's a boring fighter lol

[@griffinlindsey3212]

Simple Man how many top 5 fighters has he actually fought? Some will say RDA. But he’s been on a downslope for awhile now personally

[@eazycertifiedgangstere2655]

Al Iaquinta was fighting well (lets not forget he did beat Diego Sanchez, Masvidal and Kevin Lee) and he deserves respect. Khabib is just a different beast

[@Maxthekillbot]

After the fight, khabib was saying he knew he had already won by the third round so wanted to let the fight go the whole way to get a feel for what a five round fight is like.

[@mmaworld552]

Maxthekillbot he talking shit

[@Maxthekillbot]

I mean, it isn't untrue. He had already won the fight, it didn't really seem like he was really trying as he was just letting it stay on the standup.

[@jaydstreet8986]

But after the second round he had already won.

[@Staph_55]

[@silentnow2650]

I rewatches the fight khabib kept the dude on defense all 3 rounds. He never went after khabib

[@virus5p518]

Am I the only one who thinks khabib was letting the fight stay on the feet on purpose cause he felt the other guy had no chance so he was toying with him

[@Goobtard]

Virus5p definitely in the 3rd round, in the 4th round he did try take him down a couple times

[@barebasics]

I thought that was obvious lol khabib could have ended it in the third

[@virus5p518]

Seemed like he would catch a takedown that he could have completed and purposely let it go to show he’s that much better

[@barebasics]

Virus5p he even said it post fight conference that he wanted to go the distance

[@valeryastarkshield8278]

Virus 5p. To everybody with eyes and any real knowledge of fight! Rd 1 that fight was over. Rd 2 he was showing off. Rd 3 Khabib decided he had enough and he didnt want to really smash Al so he decided to go striking. Khabib decided to turn a fucking title fight into a sparring training and he ended up destroying Al's face coz clearly he has such a "amateur" striking game.

[@BriianRio]

Khabib was working his Mohammad Ali jab 😂😂

[@ameerulaqmalmalek9470]

He is legit crazy lol. In the middle of a lightweight championship fight, so many odds against him, no camp against Iaquinta and wrestling as his primary base, he did that shit. You can only imagine javier mendez's face when that happened lol

[@MrMarcrage]

50-43 lmao its more than a "simple" win.

[@Nayhan123]

You got likes thought I’d tell you

[@TheMku147]

I rewatched the fight on mute and it was a one sided beat down. He had his chin up in the air because he controlled the range with his jab and he was luring raging Al to swing and come off his low wrestling stance. The 4 takedowns Rogan called failed takedowns were more Khabib letting go because he didnt want to blow too much energy if hadnt grabbed the leg the way he wanted to. Joe i am a huge fan of you but that commentary was beyond pathetic...

[@epicragegaming2016]

well said. i made the same observations, the take down attempts in 3 and 4 lacked commitment. as if he went with his instinct and had to remind himself that standing up isn't so bad afterall.

[@THIS---GUY]

on the first view i scored it 50-44, the second was 50-43 Neither was the presentation with rogan

[@TheMku147]

exactly. Rounds 3-5 while mainly standing Khabib outpunched Raging Al by something like 52 - 6 strikes and literally lite up Al. How can that be commented as a negative? If his chin was that open why didnt Al touch the chin(won last 3 fights in a total of 3 minutes). Roy Jones 1992-2003 made a career of an open chin but reflexes jab and movement won him titles. If Khabib was that useless on the feet why didnt Al hurt him

[@dmagz0121]

Mku Ncube.. Because Al is pathetic that's why. Haven't you noticed they keep feeding Khabib stand up fighters? He needs to fight Ferguson someone that knows the ground , abit more aggressive. Pathetic fighter Al is really. I've never thought he was good !!! Respect to him tho for taking the fight!!👊

[@Gyork_]

I honestly think Khabib gave the kid a chance on round 3 and 4 to let him shine a bit, he gave him mad respect at the end for showing up in such short notice, you can even hear his corner telling him to go back to the original strategy so I don't think this fight should be your point of reference to evaluate Khabib's stand ability.

[@foran43]

Lol wow

[@rodrigoodonsalcedocisneros9266]

True that

[@DeadlyFredXXX]

Nothing against Al but I think Khabib was playing with his food again, Joe. If he wanted Al on the mat he would have put him there, at any point in the fight. He was making a show of it and trying to put on a good fight for the fans. No one ever said he was ace at stand up but he obviously felt comfortable enough to play that card for a few rounds and it worked, eh?

[@WWITim]

DeadlyFredXXX Maybe, but from my perspective I don’t think the takedowns were a cakewalk for Khabib. I saw that Khabib’s most successful takedowns were up against the cage and not in the center, and it might have been a little draining to drive Al to the cage. I also don’t think Khabib was playing with Al either; he was actively searching for some subs as soon as the fight hit the floor. But Al was never broken and was able to survive terrible situations. However, once it was standing Al’s striking was compromised cause of the threat of takedowns. Which ultimately allowed Khabib’s boxing game to get going. Khabib dominated that fight, but it was game the entire time imo

[@KilLahCali559]

Exactly

[@MrWiLDAPEMAN]

DeadlyFredXXX I think some people find Khabib to be a boring fighter, so perhaps he was trying to prove them wrong. I really like Khabib though he is a really interesting fighter the guy is an animal.

[@ImaCanadianxD]

OP may be right but Iaquinta still did a hell of a job defending those takedowns, especially compared to a more skilled (than Iaquinta) Michael Johnson

[@kingscar1042]

Listen,people thought he couldnt strike so he just traded with al a few rounds. And also a 5 round in fight experience is special and you wont get in in the gym

[@KSardor1]

Dear Joe, when you interviewed Khabib after the fight he expressed his interest to be in your podcast. Please, make this happen.

[@Othmane131]

Personally i thought that Joe was a little bit biased during the Khabib and Al fight and didn't give any credits to Khabib who dominated Al all five rounds. He kept saying through the whole fight that Al was exposing Khabibs weaknesses and vulnerability but didn't elaborate or explained what those weaknesses were. That was literally a textbook performance from Khabib, perfect with no fault, when was the last time someone won a unanimous decision so decisively (50/44-50/43-50/43) ? People keep saying that Al Iaquinta took the fight on one day notice .. excuse me but Al was scheduled to fighy in the same night against Felder, it's not like he was sitting at home watching a soap opera and the called him to ask him to fight. If anything, the pressure was on Khabib, he had everything yo lose facing Al, training for months and preparing for Tony Ferguson then have his opponent changed 4 times in less than a week ? Khabib too was noticed 24h before to fight Al. Before the fight a lot of people kept saying that Al might k.o Khabib (we all know Al has powerful hands), he beat guys like Masvidal, Kevin Lee, Diego Sanchez, Ross Person etc, plus he's got good wrestling so this might be an upset. But after a more than dominant performance from Khabib where he took him down at ease in the 1st and 2nd round, stood up with up in the later rounds and outstricked him on the feet, jabed him at will all night long, proved that he's got a solid chin (again Al is a powerful boxer), and wasn't aftaid to change the game plan (wrestle Al) and stood up with him, people said after the fight that he was weak in the fight, boring, Al exposed him (?), and that Tony and Conor would have won thay night against him if they fought. First of all if you think Khabib is boring, you need to switch to another chanel and watch some stupid reality show. Secondly, if you guys think that Khabib would have fought the same way against Tony or Conor, then you are crazy. Khabib is a smart fighter and changes his game plan and way to approach the fight depending on the opponent he's facing. If he was fighting Conor, you can be sure he would not stand up with him and rather take him down from the very beginning and probably would end the fight quickly. Same thing with Tony, Khabib would not shoot for the same takedowns against him and risk getting caught in a vulnerable position. So yeah, basically Khabib did whatever the fuck he wanted to do with Al yesterday and showed us that he wasn't afraid to stand up and proved that his chin can take hits (obviously like said previously, if he was fighting Conor or Tony, he would have fought them differently). Now whether you like it or not Khabib is the new lightweight champion, not his fault that Tony had to pull out, Max couldn't make weight, and Pettis wanted more money to face him. We'll see what the future holds for him . As for us, let us all just appreciate the fact that fighters like Khabib and Tony and Conor etc are fighting in the same weight class and hope that we see them all fight each other someday. Maybe Conor will be the man to drop him, or Tony the man to submit him, but that we don't know yet. As for now: #And_new #26_0

Joe needs to watch Luke Thomas’s MMA Analyst on UFC 223. He shows how great Khabib was and that it wasn’t a bad performance at all, striking defence fits is tailored to his style. Just like Dominick Cruz and Yoel Romero, it looks wrong and shouldn’t be taught to beginners, but when incorporated for them, it’s perfect. Khabib is something else.

[@udinsanchez4663]

J Tevo agreed

[@alaminhussain51]

k True, but I don't understand why we're so surprised by Khabib's striking? We always knew that it was non existent. To me, Khabib thought to himself: "I can ragdoll him, but let me practice my striking and go the full 25min."

[@thefaceless8796]

k yes thats what this guys saying smh he doesn't have to be as technically proficient at striking because his opponents have to be so careful not to get taken down they can't fully focus on their own stand up game and for that reason khabib is largely safe

[@Jay_Sullivan]

Khabib is 'ducking' the guy he was going to fight on Saturday... Dana said he doesn't want to book that fight again, so Tony has to beat someone before he gets another shot. GSP (according to Khabib) said he wants to win the 155 belt and Khabib has dreamed of fighting him. GSP is way way way way way way way better than Tony. Khabib literally said that he would fight anyone at 155 on Saturday; he's not ducking anyone.

For Khabib to think he can ragdoll GSP is iiiiinsane!!!😂😂😂it would be the other way around! Styles makes fights and GSP would destroy Khabib. Khabib can't man handle GSP and GSP trains with the Olympic Grappling team. I do love Khabib but I think it's another hype train, but I think he can be that G.O.A.T, he definitely have that potential but he's not there yet. I seen a big hole in his game last night on the feet and an elite mma fighter can and will keep him on his feet one day and when that happens what will he do?

[@Paladin-wz8gl]

Yeah... coach Faras said on his podcast that he thought Khabib made the right call to strike and that Khabib's striking was actually very good. I personally thought that that Jab showed future contenders that the solution to beating Khabib isn't necessarily stand up. He can hold his own.

[@thinkingagain5966]

Nah. Max woulda fed him 1-2s all night

[@Paladin-wz8gl]

Max may have, but I'm not so sure Khabib would have been dumb enough to stand and bang with Max. I think Khabib wanted to prove a point. Even Al Iaquinta said on the MMA hour that he couldn't land any of his combinations on Khabib. True, Max is a way better boxer than Al but Al is no slouch. I don't know, I just don't think Joe's being fair to Khabib. Khabib is never gonna be a boxer, but I think it's dangerous to underestimate him.

[@JC-wj5os]

Exactly. gave khabibs performance a 9.5 after analyzing the fight. fuck all the casual haters

[@Paladin-wz8gl]

Yeah, you know who else did that? GSP. I'm not saying that the guy is ever gonna beat Max or Conor in stand up. All I'm saying is that style works for some fighters. His chin was up and of course I would've liked to see him hide that chin behind his forward shoulder but look, Mayweather backs with his chin up too and he does alright. It's not the end all and be all. That jab was fast, the footwork was decent and he threw some kicks in there when Al wanted to stand in the pocket. Al never landed a single combination and never was able to figure out his reach. When you've just mauled a guy for two straight rounds though, standing up is not as dangerous because your opponent is going to be a step behind you. If Khabib had decided to stand in round 1, then yes, you have a point.

CorescopePlays Exactly. These two are specialists in their game. It all depends on who can utilize their tools. If Khabib can get him down consistently for five rounds he wins. If Connor can stuff his takedowns he wins inside 3 Imo. Tony Ferguson, however, is a totally different animal. I see Tony beating Khabib. Especially after the other night.

[@francmittelo6731]

Conor: 48% striking accuracy 57% striking defense. Khabib: 49% striking accuracy 70% striking defense. If Conor is so much better in striking, why aren't his numbers better than Khabib?

Joe : "...he does things to world class fighters that makes you just confused...." Beautiful

It looked like Khabib had mercy on IA. The reason I say that is because he could have taken the match to the ground at anytime and IA would of been over. Instead he kept it on the feet even against his corners advise. This is not taking anything away from IA, but he would of been out of there if Khabib kept it on the ground.

Why does ferg need to heal? He hasn't fought since Lee and that was forever ago?

[@TroyTheChef.]

David Talkington You're outta the loop Ferguson just pulled out cuz he got injured

[@robertozacharia3993]

Khabibs stand up is effective because everyone is so scared on the take down that they eat punches

[@WhiskyInThe6]

I honestly think Khabib was toying with him. His stand up is junk but he terrified Al with the wrestling in the first two rounds. He decided to stand up with Al in rounds three and four knowing that in the back of Al’s head, he wouldn’t fully commit for fear of being owned on the ground. This, despite his corner’s advice. Khabib wanted to make a show of it.

[@kinshasa1004]

Iaquinta vs felder would have been a great fight. Who knows how that would have gone.

[@youssefakenkar459]

These guys didn't notice that KHABIB didn't wanna wrestle all rounds that's why he stood up against a Striker to show that he can strike and damn he has a good Jab and Steel Chin !

Really impressed with zabid @ 223. Broke his hand in the 1st and still put on a clinic, one for the future!

[@limbcollector22]

I wish people gave Khabibs stand up more credit especially in this fight, he jabbed his face off in this fight, his defense just looked a little weird but it was effective

[@rsmithers7878]

Khabib felt comfortable after dominant first 2 rounds and couldn't wait to show people that annoying ass jab he's been fashioning up in the shed. Was doing the trick so why not show off a bit "look guys! I can outstrike a striker with this thing!" More power to him. Would've been a different story if Al was lighting him up first two rounds. Al also had the wrestling background to know how to stand low with a wide stance and and evade the takedowns, was sweaty, and they were having fun out there. People getting a little to excited about Khabib's holes in striking-- nothing we didn't already know...and they weren't all that bad. His defense is actually quite good. Al is just an underrated baddass motherfucker with a good style to fight Khabib and people hold Khabib to an impossible standard. You don't hear people talking about holes in McGregor's wrestling game because he's not a wrestler. No different.

[@jwagner2578]

Am I the only guy who thinks McGregor is waiting to take the money fight with Mayweather in the Octagon...and doesn't want to risk taking an L from Nermy or Ferguson before that fight happens? Keep in mind, 2 years ago everyone said there would be no way that Conor vs Floyd would ever happen in boxing. Yet money talks louder.

[@teledude1owns]

Al was entertaining as hell to watch. He really was crazy like you said at the beginning of the fight. Dude reminded me of a rocky movie the way he was inching closer after every punch/kick.

you the man Joe!

[@nkyryry]

The guy was training to fight that exact same night. It’s not like when Max took the fight coming off the couch lol. Let’s keep giving him props for fighting a different guy on a night he was already going to fight and losing every single fucking round. Outstanding. Really rose to the occasion lol.

[@Madridkid-hw7re]

nkyryry al iaquinta was training for a 3 round fight not a 5 round right

[@nkyryry]

nathan waters HE HAD A FULL CAMP. You can only train so hard lol. It’s not like he could have trained harder and been in better shape for 5 rounds. A 3 round camp is the same as a 5 round camp. They’re training to fight and you can only push yourself so hard before you hit diminishing returns. He was 100% ready for that fight. And got fucking slaughtered.

[@chrisweber6090]

nkyryry what a idiot who knows jack shit about mma you really said a 3 round fight is the same as a 5 round fight that's so wrong dude you spar more train more it's different plus he got 1 days notice to fight 1 of the best fighters walking and hasn't fought in like a year or two give him some credit pussy for keeping the card alive

[@dznArro]

nkyryry In 5 rounds you train more. spar more.

[@nkyryry]

Chris Weber you seriously think he would have been in better shape if he had trained for a 5 round fight? Lol. You think he didn’t train as hard as he could have?

[@thedon3346]

I agree exactly with Joe..I tweeted to Khabib and team to NOT underestimate AL, and to watch as much video's of him that u can up until the fight. A LOT of studyin him and prob did it for hours and hours..which , or I said that a day before cuz the next day I see khabib on the bed watching AL's fights with one of his people. Just glad he did, I was Khabib DO NOT underestimate this young fighter. He has beat LEGIT LEGIT competition. Like AL is a fucking YOUNG and BEATS UP LEGENDS..dude is a fucking animal. Only reason he looked like he was on that level when fighting, but think about how good AL is, and look what Khabib did. I HONESTLY THINK Khabib don't try or want to KO anyone if he don't have too...I really think he has so much respect for fighters that give him respect. Like just watching the dominance at a certain point if u KNOW how GOOD AL is, you're like OMFG !!!! like a bear playing with a dead rabbit and Khabib wasn't going 100 percent.. The fights we will see like BAD THINGS happen behind those ground and pound punches and elbows. You piss that guy off ENOUGH , he could like EASILY KILL a man in there..Not an average man. No a high ranking UFC / MMA fighter. He could kill them if he wanted. First round. Life and death..YOU ARE FUCKED, and hes walking out on his feet.

[@shadowdance4666]

Meanwhile on a bus in NY parking garage far far away… Brave Khabib ran away. Bravely ran away, away. When danger reared it’s ugly head He bravely turned his tail and fled Yes, brave Khabib turned about And gallantly he chickened out Bravely taking to his feet He beat a very brave retreat Bravest of the brave Khabib

[@ahmedhabib2835]

I love conor but he got taken down by chad almost got taken down by diaz in ufc 202 what if khabib comes on him wtf is gona hapen he obvoiusly will go down and conor aint tht heavy

[@mattrc77]

New York commission told Areal that they were never really informed about Paul, but from Khabib's manager it seems that AL was the one everybody wanted.

[@TheSingleGuy]

a couple pieces of information that Joe should know. 1. Zabit broke his hand prior to his fight with Kyle, this was a factor during the fight 2. Khabib said after the fight he slowed down in the 3rd because he recognized this was a five round fight. The five rounds were a factor 3. Just cause someone beats someone in a fight doesn't mean they should be ranked higher. The fact is people do get lucky during fights. An example was Eddie Alvarez fighting RDA. A lot of people don't know that RDA passed out 30min before that happened from the weight cut. IMO Eddie was never better than RDA, but he won the fight that night.

[@SKgyebaek]

1. Khabib's wrestling proved yet again to be top class 2. Khabib's stand up is not top class 3. Laquinta did not fight well those who say he fought well are trying to justify Khabib's mediocre performance on his feet

[@Bigfitz92]

The amount of hype khabib has had he should of finished him in 20 seconds. Khabib is awful to watch just wants to lay on the floor for 25 minutes. He’s only ever fought bums as well.

[@mfaos]

A Ibrahim I don’t think khabib eased up on him, looks like khabib has problems taking people down away from the cage and al figured that out.

[@eongaming7559]

Gambit He fought Rafael Dos Anjos, he beats almost everybody in the division. He's legit.

[@SKgyebaek]

yes his stand up was literally jabs the whole time

[@SKgyebaek]

or so you saying khabib fought well on his feet? XD

[@lg1199]

Tony would have won

[@SaurianKing_]

Am I the only person drawing comparison's between Iauqinta's performance and the first Rocky film? Massive underdog, takes on a man who nobody wants to fight, ends up showing everyone what he is made of by going the distance. Gaining massive amounts of respect in the process.

[@THIS---GUY]

he got my respect when bhe beat Masvidal & Kevin Lee

[@juliand4442]

The khabib vs RDA fight isn’t a good example. RDA at 155 isn’t the same he’s drained at that weight.

[@Johnny8204]

Khabib's gone to the hospital for his weight cuts, Khabib is only a LW because he's undefeated. RDA also won the title after that fight.

[@joeroganstrtshots881]

Young Juwop RDA didnt have trouble cutting until the eddie and tony fights. Those cuts had not caught up to him yet to use that as an excuse. Khabib has to be cutting as much if not more then RDA was, he will be at 170 in a few years

[@truthseekingtraveller]

RDA went on a 5 fight tear after the khabib fight to win the title so that excuse a bit weak. Maybe after the Eddie fight weight became a problem.

[@BTRshow]

Joe legit had the worst commentary I have ever heard at ufc 223. Joe is a legit shill

Action Jackson u say eddie wrestling is the same as khabib?

[@chrisweber6090]

slicvm but that's what the idea was if Eddie can get Connor down hes fucked he finishes guys on the ground all the time but he couldn't conor made it look easy and Eddie is far better at Stand up then khabib so of khabib can't get conor down hes fucked

Thats what the best athletes do, they make opponents look like amateurs. Michael Jordan, Floyd Mayweather, Ronaldo and so on. It's easy to be a keyboard warrior, act tough and say bad things and criticize people. Iaquinta managed to stuff several takedowns but he is a good wrestler. I would just advise you to shut the fuck up really cause you seem clueless about their skills.

He lost to Tibau. Calling people dickriders while getting actually upset that 75% of that 26-0 are fucking nobodies while saying Conor's record is padded. Name one world class fighter Khabib has fought?

He beat Tibau 30-27 on all judges score card and he was juiced lmaoo Islam knocked his steroid ass out at UFC 220. Anything to make Khabib a nobody who did Khabib beat??

If you watch the fight khabib was clearly not trying to maul him because he respected Al for taking the fight and staying in it. From the first two rounds it was clear that khabib would smash. So khabib said ok I’ll be nice.
