Has Khabib ever been taken down before?

[GuanoApes]

Has Khabib ever been taken down before in UFC? The only fight I’ve seen with him was vs. Barboza.

You've only seen the Barboza fight? Out of the ones I have seen I can't ever recall him being taken down.

Khabib threatened off his back the while time and Abel got saved by the bell

 

[Get these Hands]

I saw a bear take his back once. I'm an old school fan, you young fellas probably don't know anything about that.

Tibau took him down a few times but it didn’t go well for him at all. Khabib was on the verge of submitting him the entire time.

Once by Tibau but he got up right away.

Once (maybe twice) in a scramble with Trujillo where Khabib immediately locked up submissions off his back and got back into dominant position.

That was a bad-ass sequence.

Trujillo was a fucking beast back in the day.

Khabib went right after him even on his back though. Arm-lock to triangle, and back and forth with the attacks.

Damn, Khabib slick off his back too

 

[baba2008]

took him months to get up from this one.

Dude has sick triangles. Makes me wish he'd get taken down more lol.

Teh Gifs...

As I remember it, Tibau did not shoot to take him down, he defended Khabibs shot and got on top. And Trujillo was getting the life choked out of him when he got on top then rolled over and got top himself. It was literally the best, classic triangle choke.
Short answer is yes, but only rarely and he works off his back
