This is undeniably the biggest fight of Ultimate Fighting Champions. Mcgregor vs Khabib. So for the people who doesn’t recognise this two individuals, they are the current top UFC fighter where khabib is the undisputed undefeated champions with 26 win 0 losses while macgregor was the former champion which put him as the challenger for khabib. This was a champions fight of the year.

There is a lot to take in for this fight but lets talk about it. I’ll make it simple.

Before the fight

There were a lot of beef ( cause to not like each other) between this two even since the beginning. Other than knowing that khabib is the current champion and also undisputed which put him on a spot to have a lot of enemy and challenger , Khabib and macgregor name were always mention by the media and this make them aware of each other more. To be brief, both of them were suppose to fight other contenders at the time (suppose to be) but on 6 April this year, Connor macgregor make a scene where he attack khabib and the crew member bus by smashing it with chair hitting the glass and injured other people in it. He also bring along about 30 people with him. Reason: because khabib slapped macgregor’s friend for talking bad about him (khabib). 😂 ok this is hilarious for a professional fighter superstar to act this way. To come all the way from ireland with 30 thugs to beat up people for a slap in the face.

Personality and strength

Khabib and macgregor have a totally different personality . In my eyes and opinions, khabib is a very humble but strict kind of person, patient at a time, calm. As champion he is cofident and he is also religious. Khabib is a wrestler, he do this since he was a little kid by practicing wrestling a bear ( go youtube and watch). Khabib biggest strength is his wrestling skills. He uses this to mauled his opponent everytime and make them give up.

Connor on the other hand is a showman, very confident also but a little over sometimes as its help him to get inside his opponent head. Love making scenes everyway he go. As a challenger, he is a very good boxer (fist fight) and always win when his left punch landed on his opponent face.

What interesting is both of this fighter strength is each other weaknesses.

Press conference : build up the heat between this two fighter

usually before fight event, UFC will make a several press conferences to promote the event. If you ever watch this event you will see how much this two undividual dislike each other.

In the event, khabib was the one who sit down and keep himself calm all the time to not let connor get inside his head. Macgregor on the other hand do what he do best. Provocking his opponent, make them lost focus. It was all great but only this time he take it way too far and very unprofessional. Why? Because he touched all the sensitive issues like khabib’s religion, family and country. Luckily khabib mantain his composure and keep the event going but inside he is burning.

The bad thing about this is, there is no respect on this fight causing people to assume all fight will be like this and this is not the UFC is all about. although the sport is wild and cruel but the respect should be there.

Connor objective: show who is the toughest and comeback as champions after two years absent

Khabib objective: to teach macgeegor a lesson to be humble and prove that he is stiill undisputed champion

Khabib waited macgregor to lose focus and startes to grab his foot to start wrestling and to avoid combat fight which Connor macgregor good at.

Khabib won the fight fair and square and amazingly. Connor’s mouth were shut but the way this night ended was not good. However, all people should understand, khabib was provoked by all things that is sensitive and every person has their limit.

Lesson:

Respect is the most important things in sports. That is one of things that separates professional and unprofessional game.

Keep your focus from start to end of the game and do not let your opponent get inside your head everytime they provoke you

When you already prove your point.
End the game well
