That GIF is a thing of beauty. I never get tired of seeing that : )

yeah, judging from that gif alone you would think he was among the GOATs but he would go on to lose his next 3 (to Seffedeine, Ellenburger and Lombard).

Hate to say it, but Conor v Eddie

Conor didnt look that jacked for the Khabib fight.

Ya, Nate The Great was never really consistent enough. He was also a bit of an in-betweener. He was just a bit too big for 170, and a bit too small for 185. He would have ruled over 175 IMO.

Edit: Also, Nate wasn't a gutless coward like Khabib. When Nate had a bad weight cut, he fought anyway. When Khabib has a bad weight cut, he just pulls out or demands a catchweight.

Nate Marquardt was pulled trying to make weight on UFC Versus 4. He wasn't offered a catchweight, and Dana White straight up cut him from the UFC. Khabib pulls out of events, demands catchweights, and where is Dana White banning Khabib from the UFC?

If Khabib was forced to make 155.0 & fight every time he has a bad weight cut, he would have lost 2-3 fights brutally. It pisses me off that he gets so much leeway.

UFC 101 Anderson Silva (vs Forrest Griffin, 1st round KO)

UFC 142 Jose Aldo (vs Chad Mendes, 1st round KO)

Any other examples?

CM Pubk vs Mickey Gall should be there too

I thought Francisco Rivera was in unprecedented form when he fought Uriah Faber, up to the point where he got poked in the eye and it all went downhilll.

He made Eddie look like an amateur that night

He did and I did not expect it to go down that way. At all.

You know you got a amazing fighter when you dont know what fight to choose.

He could’ve taken down any welterweight ever that night

 

[Koukos]

Mir in his first fight against Big Nog.He picked him apart

Randy vs. Sylvia

 

[Nihongi]

Goddamn I wish he didn’t run face first into Stipe’s fist like a hetard.

Evan Tanner's 1st rd TKO of David Terrell for the MW championship. Terrell was on a five fight tear entering that fight and was a tough contest for anyone. Evan made short work of him that night.
