There is going to be a fight between the two, Mayweather vs Khabib. Who gonna win? My .02 cents is the following. Mayweather will knock Khabib out, unless Khabib takes down Mayweather and chocked him out.
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Mayweather vs Khabib

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

If this goes ahead, then yes it's the BIG money game!
Both parties are WINNERS here! $$$
I reckon it could go the same way as the Khabib vs Conor fight.
However Mayweather could land a serious knockout!
Khabib is taking a play from Conor's book. Good for him. Mayweather will win. Boxing is a different kind of game from MMA as Conor found out. In fact, i read an article that Conor suffered mild brain damage as a result of his fight with Mayweather.

Mayweather.
The man is incredible at what he does. Being able to dodge a point blank punch, consistently, is just nuts.
Khabib is way in over his head. McGregor ia fast. Khabib is probably faster. But Mayweather is just the fastest.
I don't think people realize just how good Mayweather is.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
True. McGregor's challenge to Mayweather had a novelty about it: would an MMA defeat a boxer in a boxing match? Who's cardio is better, a boxer or an MMA fighter?
It was this novelty and curiosity that drove high pay-per-view buys. But those questions have now been answered: NO, an MMA fighter CANNOT beat a boxer in a boxing match anymore than a boxer can beat an MMA fighter in an MMA fight.
Therefore, i believe this would draw Khabib's biggest payday but it certainly won't beat Mayweather vs McGregor's PPV buys.

But why do you folks assume it would be a boxing match?

I will fight that mother fvcker for 200 mil.
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Why don't you people come here? Visit Sochi, Dagestan, Chechnya, Moscow, etc. Visas are electronic I think and 2 way flight is something like 800 via aeroflot.

Floyd Mayweather is a boxing beast.
Most boxers at high level would probably kill the UFC fighters in a match. (Unless they get taken to the ground, but strike game it's gg).
They remain "sport" since they have rules.
However, true MMA had glorious fighters back in the days.
The level of fighter i think overall increased since they have "factory of fighters" . However, the rights got more boring and standardize.
You dont see much of the Martiale Arts technique other than some punch and a wrestle.
They should bring back Sakuraba

Won't even be close. You can't beat Mayweather in a boxing match. He won't fight MMA at all, so it will be boxing.
This is an easy pay day for both. Who wouldn't lose to Mayweather for a $200 million paycheck?

Same.
They are standardrizing the MMA fighters to fit the rules of the game.
MMA a great sport and I recommand anyone who wants to start martial arts (especially at adult age) to start there.
But what's MMA?
Alot of the fighters now are from random places that anyone could have open a gym, crédit himself a Black Belt etc.
Its a bit of Muay Thai, with BJJ, with wrestling.
They are "no expert" .
Mayweather versus Connor was a perfect example of this "master" in boxing against a jack of all trade (Conor who might be out of shape but has strong standup and taekwondo Leg works. Connor BTW who has superior StandUp than khabib. Khabib just took him down all the time and Connor didnt seem to want to stop that)
I love the domination of some fighters like GSP (who is strong standup but use wrestling to win), Silva etc... They are strong but they mystères the "rule of the sport MMA" (Muay Thai, BJJ, wrestling)... If you look at Sakuraba, Gracies, Wanderlai Silva, early UFC, some early MMA tournanement (strikeforce, prise), fedor, randy couture, bas rutten.... When they fight you can see their fighting style (or TMA aka traditional martial arts). I think a certain French fighter in the UFC or Jackson, used to do alot of Judo techniques in fights.
The fights are becoming "professional standardized to the point game" . Normal fighters dont give openings to some stuff you see in JutJitsu, Karate,Judo, aikido etc.
I am not speaking of Martials Arts vs other Martials, but how the fighter cage fight.
Now, GSP in Canada is doing Judo techniques promotion vidéo (for a Judo club) using no-gi.. Judo works well without Gi and it has strong anti-takedown techniques (really useful against BJJ and Wresters). BJJ is judo in ground game (before the Olympic removed ground fighting in Judo)
Oh well it would be fun to see some Martial Arts techniques other than the casual punch-takedown-kimura
