The upcoming fight "Khabib vs. Gaethje" will take place on October 24, 2020. What do you guys think? Who has the better chances? How will the fight go?
"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
UFC 254: Khabib vs. Gaethje

"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.

Anyone heard of Lechi Kurbanov, the killer of japanese karate? Self taught, often times via video cassettes, he is a world champion several times in a row. This part of the world produces good fighters. Khabib is an animal, once he bits into his opponent it is game over. My prediction is Khabib.

My heart wants Khabib to win but my mind says Gaethje will pull it off. The defensive wrestling is there so he is very hard to take down and then on top of that, he throws lethal shots that can knock anyone out. My money is on Justin taking this.
"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.

I agree. I mean, Khabib is virtually impossible to beat on the ground. He's so damn dominant and works every part of the body. It's so good, it's disgusting.
But you're right about Justin having a great takedown defense. I'm still shocked by how he worked Tony. Didn't see that one coming. I'd say he has a good chance of winning IF he catches Khabib with some good bombs before he gets to business.

The issue is that Khabib is one dimensional. He gets you down and beats you down but it is not hard shots like say a DC or a Jon Jones putting on people that seriously mess you up. I mean despite the work he did on Conor, he could not TKO McGregor and had to rely on submission. Justin on the other hand has crazy knockout power and his wrestling is more defensive.

It's weird how Khabib starts brawling with you and then goes for the trip or double leg. He even takes people down with suplexes. He has literally no guard when he's throwing punches. Still, he builds the pressure and then takes you underwater.
His approach might always be the same, but once you're on the ground, he twists and squeezes you like a wet towel. I'm not even a fan of his fighting style, but it's unsettling that BJJ black belts like Poirier couldn't get out of his grip. Not to mention that Dustin belongs to the creme de la creme of striking in the UFC.
It's definitely winnable for Justin. Yet I hope he won't make weight or meets Mike Perry in a bar fight, so he drops out and Tony gets the fight. But that fight is cursed man...

Yeah but Dustin lacked the wrestling to avoid being taken down which is what did him in IMO. Justin on the other hand has that wrestling to keep Khabib off of him.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
