Khabib by pressure but it was a fight where it could get either way depending on the judges.
The TD is pretty sweet too.
Good stats.
Like how on earth do you land less strikes, less significant strikes and go 0-13 on takedowns and win the fight?
Still shocked thatThe TD is pretty sweet too.
Lee has been taken down several times in his career lol, just because his offensive wrestling is great doesn't mean his TDD is anywhere near a guy like prime roided Tibau.Lee, Gaethje, and Alvarez all have a legit shot at beating Khabib. Dude is massively overrated. Hoping he sticks around long enough to face these guys.
Taking down Barboza and Johnson isn’t the same thing as taking down a guy like Lee.

I really don't know. It must be body language I guess.Good stats.

The difference is the very few times that Khabib has been taken down he popped right back up, or showed off his deadly guard game and almost choked out his opponent off his back. The times that Lee has been on his back his guard isn't anything special and he's just not that good off his back. Khabjb on the other hand has a lot of submissions off his back.Okay, cool. It’s still light years better than Barboza and Michael Johnson lol. Hence it being a more intriguing matchup.
Khabib has been taken down by lesser grapplers too. It would be interesting.
Same goes for Eddie and Gaethje. I think Khabib has problems with them all.
The fight was close, Khabib was more active and cotrolled the octagon. He duly won

Irrelevant and period. Lance Armstrong a 20x times more relevant athlete once considered one of the best athletes ever in the history of the this f* planet got from that to a completely cheater, none of his accomplishments are valid, his reputation went down to zero, etc...
Oh yeah but a f* UFC fighter juicing is not that relevant,, his wins might still have some "value"... GTFO bro.
Except that Khabib landed less strikes and less takedowns. Statistically Tibau did more. Stats aren't biased or subject to opinion, Tibau literally was the more effective fighter.
The most Tibau outlanded Khabib by in a single round was 2 sig strikes. He never beat Khabib's output. The striking was effectively even so the judges scored it by who was more aggressive and controlling the pace. Khabib worked harder and landed more in the clinch (where most of the fight took place).In the judges eyes Tibau was working less in what was an otherwise even fight.
In other words the judges awarded Khabib's offensive approach more than Tibau's passive approach.
JJ vs Rose 2
Judges don't go by stats and stats do not tell the whole story. Stats are useless without context. Khabib kept Tibau on the back foot giving him the edge in octagon control. The difference in striking was marginal. Thus the more active fighter won.He landed more strikes, that's not debatable. He shut down khabibs wrestling, that's not debatable. If you and I fight and I swing at air, while you throw less but land more, who was the more effective fighter? It doesn't matter by how many strikes or takedowns, who was more effective going by the stats, not by personal bias?
Neither. The difference in stats (in the context of MMA scoring) is marginal.Tibau threw less strikes but landed a higher percentage. Tibau attempted less takedowns but landed a higher percentage. Answer with one word; a name. Who was the more statistically effective fighter? I say statistically so there's zero room for bias.
I'm not here to argue the decision. Khabin got the nod, it is what it is. I'm saying statistically Tibau was more effective, which he was.

Khabib was clearly the more active fighter. Tibau edged the stand up. Neither scored any passes, sub attempts, or GnP.
It's a draw.
No passes, no GnP, no sub attempts, thus TD by Tibau isn't very impactful in context. Khabib failed TDs but scored more cage control time and edged out strikes in the clinch.What about TDS?
