    That's a lifetime of working with your hands, find a farmer in their 70/80s and they will have these hands that look permanently swollen.

    Though Khabib's grandfather has exceptionally massive hands.

    I dont believe conor would step into the octagon as unprepared again. I believe he will not emphasise the take down defence and he will focus on putting him away and fine tuning his hands again.

    So he won't emphasise takedown defence and get taken down earlier in the first round?

    Judoka who have been in the game a very long time develop really big muscular hands, I've just gone through some photos and nothing comes close to those hands.

    So yea I'd tend to believe its a combination of big hands alongside a medical condition.

    I was thinking more severe arthritis or sausfingeritis.

    I'd go as far to say that they are permanently swollen from arthritis or whatever.

    Same in jiu jitus. Most old school guys have mangled hands. But the aobve look, very puffy on the back of the hands.

    These are Kurt Osiander hands

    Rogan was only on about big hands the other night, says older guys who have been doing jiu jitsu in the Gi for a long time get really big funny looking hands.

    Yeah, he mentioned Megaton Dias's hands. Mackenzie Dern's dad.
    Paulo Miyao's hands are deformed. Keenan's too.

    Tape your fingers guys.

    2 wins in 2 UFC title fights = 2 belts

    Didn't realise they did it like that. That's not how boxing works is it?
    Renders the concept of "defending a belt" fairly meaningless. I suppose it's just the title you defend.

    Of course its just a title you defend. The belt is external reward

    I actually thought they were all the different weight classes he was champion in and then the different organisations they have in boxing. Never realised he got a belt per defense.

    Talk about sour grapes. Needs to focus on his own fight career rather than Floyds.

    Although by the looks of it hes angling for a rematch :eek:

    When I heard Floyd was doing this, the first thing that came to my mind was he is doing this to annoy Connor. Looks about right.

    You can buy the WBC belt yourself if you have a spare $2.5k lying around.
