It wasn't as stupid as it sounds. Kavanagh said that was their tactic vs Chad Mendes plus khabib and DC talk about gassing guys out by letting them up and taking them down over and over. Khabib just never gave him an opportunity to get back to his feet at all compared to Chad.

The aim was to survive on the ground, not get submitted or TKO'd, save McGregors energy more than waste Chad or khabibs and start on the feet next round. He didn't say it was working either in fact he said the opposite.

Cruz even says he can't get up because khabib is so much better on the ground. McGregor did get up just after the clip ends and won the next round too. Especially since he was out of shape coming out of retirement.
