Why would Chael lie about remembering his fights?

Of the top 3 lightweights, the only one who has not fought one of the other top 3 lightweights is Ferguson. He'll have to defeat at least one of them to be the true champion. I'd love for him to pull it off but it remains to be seen.

@ridizzle189 5 жыл бұрын

like they did to jones you mean and like they did to conor although khabib just legitimized that one lol. You can say DC's legit at heavyweight and has beaten top guys at light heavyweight but not the best guy at light heavyweight so that belts kind of in the same situation. That is if it goes down with khabib losing the title. MMA fans exclusively have short term memory so if it does happen everyone will forget in a few months anyway.

@MrReav13 5 жыл бұрын

Khabib won't get stripped and I do not think Conor will fight anybody other than Khabib again, Nate if he beats Poirier, or maybe GSP. Ferguson is a beast and I am a huge fan but his standup in my opinion is nothing to Conor. If he just walks forward throwing wild shots like he did against Pettis then McGregor could easily knock him out or at the very least hurt him bad. The only way I see Ferg beating Conor is if he gets a takedown (I do not think his takedowns are nearly as lethal as Khabib's and we saw Conor do better against Khabib than almost anybody else) or if McGregor knocks Tony down and tries to finish him but somehow gets submitted. He should fight him like he fought Nate. Knock him down and do not jump on him unless he is severely hurt.

Chael is one of few who understand how the aftermath will play out. While everyone else's opinions are emotionally driven. It sucks but the commission is going to come down hard on khabib. His reasoning will not justify his actions in front of the commission.
