Khabib's mindset on Conor fight 😮

No wonder Khabib is 29-0 💪

"I am preparing for war & he gives me this excuse that this is only just business."

When i catch his neck, choke him & he tapped.

I was like he brings thousands of people from Ireland here in different part of world & you tap in front of them & you talk about being a warrior." - Khabib

What does he even mean by go sleep, the choke is not even on the neck. What he meant was let me break your jaw lol.

To be fair, breaking your jaw sounds much worse than being put to sleep by a choke

Plus tapping isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s like a checkmate, it’s over.

For Dagestanis it is. I damn sure wouldn't wanna be Ankalaev returning to Dagestan after tapping in the last second of his UFC debut.

I love that he tapped because thats more embarrassing for him.

He could possibly have gone sleep had Khabib maintained that position and Conor didn’t tap. Contrary to what Dom Cruz says, Conor was gassed out and that fatigue combined with the relentless pressure Khabib applied to that face crank contorting Conor’s body in such a way it restricted his breathing and was only a matter of time before he blacked out.

That is definitely a choke aswell. In bjj everything below the nose is the neck
