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

Khabib really broke Conor, he exposed him.. that was the moment Conor's fall began. :,(

Conor was losing it as he started to make money, you can easily see the change leading into the eddie fight vs the build up to the floyd fight

This is the right answer. Money changed him (like it does for most). He was done fighting for anything other than money in the mayweather build up.

Imagine the sticker shock of going from an MMA paycheck to a "FLOYD MAYWEATHER SUPER FIGHT" boxing purse. I'd be absolutely done fighting for anything less than that much forever.
