Khabib just not playing the same game as the rest.

I've run out of ways to describe how brilliant Khabib Nurmagomedov's grappling is. Easily the best in MMA history, and I don't think it's even close. Just unreal. #UFC242

Well, that was impressive as hell. Geathje or bust, because I don't see Ferguson not having the same issues as Poitier. #UFC242

There's levels to this game and Khabib Nurmagomedov is a God amongst men. He defeats Dustin Poirier via third round RNC. He might just be the most complete, well rounded, dominant fighter this sport has ever produced. How can you ever pick against him? All he does is win. #UFC242

Ferguson vs Khabib is the only fight I want at 155. If there is something else you wanna sell me I'm not interested. #UFC242

Watching Dustin Poirier in agony is awful. Truly, truly awful.

— Luke Thomas (@lthomasnews) September 7, 2019

It's a fight we've all wanted to see for a very long time. They're two of the best lightweights ever and both men are in their prime.

They have the best active winning streaks in the UFC. It'd be a legacy defining fight.

It's time. Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Tony Ferguson.

BUT…

Ferguson vs. Nurmagomedov is the ONLY FIGHT TO MAKE

The highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows. Dustin Poirier has experienced it all. Heart breaking post fight interview. Feel for the guy. Still one of the best in the world and he'll be back. #UFC242

Khabib does Khabib stuff. Gets the submission. Asked about Tony Ferguson next, tells us he needs some time off. pic.twitter.com/vYfc9TAnmh
