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. :,(

He wasn’t exposed, that’s not what it means. Conor was a great fighter in many many ways, but people knew his chances were on the feet. Khabib was just a dominant wrestling force, and even though Conor worked on that it wasn’t close to enough like for pretty much everyone else who faced Khabib.

Khabib literally stood and traded with him on the feet for a while...

Prime Conor's striking was superb but he didn't have even that against Khabib

Didn't khabib hit him hard with an overhand left that started the takedown?

Yes. What does that have to do with Conor being exposed?

Edit: can someone who is downvoting actually explain? A striker being hit does mean he got exposed.
