agreed, although i love rogan, everybody makes mistakes, the times khabib got taken down he immediately got up and even landed a few good punches against tibau, plus all that control against the cage, i'm sure joe regrets saying those things in hindsight

It wasn't as much as a robbery as some people think it was. As much as Khabib couldn't take him down once, and missed a lot of punches, Tibau didn't do anything to capitalize on those mistakes and misses! Khabib won clearly for me, because he actually landed some good stuff AND showed more aggression and octagon control - a big part of scoring. I hope his boxing gets better. Competition will get harder from here.
