Khabib outstruck Johnson, Barboza, and McGregor on the feet though. Johnson only landed 1-5 good shots throughout the fight if I remember correctly. He dropped McGregor. His standup gets the job done IMO.

because they're scared of being taken down and not looking for an overhand right......you are fucking retarded if you think Khbibs striking is even close to decent.

it depends what you're measuring it against. its decent striking for sure. but it isn't decent for a world classstriker by any means.

its like when maia started putting together decent 1-2's on people. his striking was pretty good, but again people were terrified of going to the ground lol. but its still decent if you're tagging people one way or the other

Bro, I like you and all....but Maia has always been terrible. He has a couple KO's in which I'm sure are still hung on his refrigerator and all....but those punches are only landing because their opponents are watching their feet in fear of a take down.
