Dominick Cruz details his expectations for Khabib vs. McGregor | Ariel Helwani at UFC 229

Спорт

Dominick “The Dominator” Cruz, who will be calling the action at UFC 229, talks with Ariel Helwani about what interests him the most about the main event between Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor. Cruz details what fans may see as this fight plays out Saturday night and is focused on if Khabib can takedown McGregor and keep him down. Cruz also breaks down what each fighter does well and how they could incorporate that into the bout and also adds the ring rust will not be an issue for McGregor, expecting both to be sharp in the octagon. “The Dominator” expresses that he would like to fight again before the end of the year and his thoughts on the men’s bantamweight division.

Most people in his position are cursed by Pride and delusions. They think there's nothing more to learn from regular people if you don't have a PHD or master's degree under your belt don't try to talk them.

    Joel Alonzo I disagree. I think you are seriously underestimating how much better TJ has gotten. He has one of the best coaches who is obsessed with him and they are probably the best team right now. I understand that Dom is a great fighter but right now TJ will not be beaten anytime soon and soon he will move up and beat Connor

    Dom is missing one big thing. Conor being a southpaw means that Conor's lead leg will be exposed to Khabib single leg takedowns this is a major disadvantage for Conor. Conor will have to switch stances to avoid this otherwise that right leg is right there for the taking.

    @@nathanmitchell7961 If Chad Mendes can do double leg takedowns which are the most difficult but also the most explosive and energy sapping action, I doubt the best wrestler and grappler in the Lightweight division is going to struggle to get his bread and butter single leg takedowns which are easier to get but harder to get opponents to ground from. Conor will definitely throw leg kicks or at the very least kicks for distance control.

    Everyone still sleeps on Conors striking. I feel like the only way they would not still be sleeping is he had to beat the greatest defensive boxer of all time. lol Conors strikiing is designed for MMA. There is a constant mind set for blocking take downs and clenching and striking. To switch over to straight boxing is hard. Maybe switching back is even harder. WE will never know what affect it had. But, to suggest Conor is not the best striker HANDS wise the UFC has ever saw is blind hate.

    *This is my prediction* Although I’m not a fan or Conor, I think he will somewhat school Khabib. I feel as if Khabib will “forget everything he knows” due to the emotions and enticipation of the fight. Khabib *wants* to maul Conor, and I think that’s where he loses. If Khabib had no personal attachment to this fight, I think he would have a higher chance of winning. Just look at all of Conors major fights. He won against Aldo because Aldo was emotional, rushed in and didn’t stick to his game plan. He also won against what’shisname because what’shisname abandoned his game plan, due to emotions once again. Conor has said he doesn’t care about mental warfare, whether it’s true or not. His shit talking makes his fights personal, something Conor can deal with. Conor is that guy who talks shit to you and doesn’t think about the intent of his words, but you take it offensively so you start to hate the guy. That’s why Conor can stay so calm, it’s a regular fight at the end of the day. But his opponents go in wanting to rip his head off because they’ve taken his words deeply. Conor will win and make Khabib look like a lost amature, just like he did against what’shisname because Khabib will be full of emotions and enticipation just wanting to get a takedown. If Khabib and Conor were facing eachother without the trash talking, bus incident, family/camp history and hadn’t really known much of eachother, Khabib would win. Khabib will lose via mental warfare.
