Khabib and Conor have almost exactly the same experience in MMA

It's true, and Khabib deserves credit for that, the iffy Tibau decision notwithstanding. Mcgregor has lost fights at several different stages of his career. Khabib hasn't.

I think an argument in McGregor's favor is that he has better wins than Khabib. Poirier, Holloway, Aldo, Mendes, Diaz, and Alvarez > RDA, Johnson, and Barboza. That is fairly likely to change in the next year or so. But it hasn't yet.

Khabib also has the experience of being a Muslim on his side. A keen follower of Islam.

He is the stronger of the two without question.

how strong can you be when you get upset and offended over every damn thing. They are some sensitive mofos. And cant even handle a strong woman so they deny them the ability to be themselves. Pathetic.

"both beat the shit out of their opponents (Russian and Irish novices respectively) before their UFC debut"

It's simply not true, are we just going to sit back and swallow the Colin Cool Aid just because you think it's trolling, just because someone questioned your messiah.

Take your face for a shit son.

Conor lost 2/14. That doesn't make the statement any less true. You're just grasping at straws, because you think this is an argument. You think the TS is somehow saying that they're equal in skill.

SVG said:
Why so it fits your's and Colin's social media narrative that he's unbeatable and some kind of God. That's not even a troll post Colin got submitted twice en route to the UFC, i can link another video if you wan't it.

How would Conor say it "this is true talk not trash talk".

No, what does this have to do with the OP? Nothing. You're arguing with imaginary people in your head.
 
ya. a classic striker v grappler throwback matchup.

assuming a) Khabib wins his next, and b) Conor bothers to defend. big assumptions.

So because he lost twice that make my statement that he did beat the shit out of their opponents? Oh we are in the age of "specifics" okay I get it, "he beat the shit out of his opponents (with the exception of 2)"

Diaz a guy with several loses? Holloway as a kid with pathetic wrestling at that time? Mendes with 2 days notice and naturally got tired before exposing him? Poirier good but nothing close to RDA or Barboza?

Sounds like you're reading out the Bible my friend
 
Khabib is also a back to back sambo world champ, with years of experience on a world stage in that.

Of course Khabib does have twice the grappling experience but professional MMA experience is almost the same. Both were born in the same year (1988), made their dubut in 2008, both beat the shit out of their opponents (Russian and Irish novices respectively) before their UFC debut, Conor debuted in 2013 with 14 fights and Khabib debuted in 2012 with 16 fights.
Overall experience is: Khabib with 26 fights and Conor 25 fights + 1 boxing match.

Khabib's opponents might have been novices in MMA (as he was himself), but certainly not martial-arts.

He beat Oleg Bagov who's a multiple time Russian Combat Sambo champion, 3x Russian UWW Grappling champion, 2011 UWW World Grappling champion, 2013 World Combat Games gold medalist. He placed 3rd just this year alone at FIAS Russian Combat Sambo championships, all while he's an active MMA fighter with a high winstreak.

He beat Shahbulat Shamlaev, winner of the Bellator 2012 Featherweight Tournament, decorated in Sanda.

He beat Vadim Sandulsky, who's a multiple time Moldova Combat Sambo champ, decorated in Judo.

He beat Eldar Eldarov, his teammate and multiple time Russian Combat Sambo champ and World medalist. Now works as the national coach for MMA in Bahrain.


You literally cannot compare the athletes on the Russian MMA scene with the Irish-UK scenes. At least, the US has wrestling in highschool and college, Western Europe doesn't even have that. Those novices who get into MMA in Ireland and Britain are random BUMS who decided they want to fight as a hobby or they have a "shot" at it as a career because they saw it on TV and thought it was cool. In the US its about 50/50, but in Russia the vast majority of fighters getting into MMA have amateur credentials.
 
I realize now that I was dreaming things when I thought I seen that somebody posted Khabib had an advantage of being a muslim, lol how ridiculous is that.
Glad I woke up that was the silliest dream I ever had

Are you being serious right now?

You think Diaz isn't a good win because he had several losses? Where does that put Khabib's win over Johnson? In Johnson's last 5 fights not including Khabib he is 1-4. And yet he's easily one of Khabib's best wins. You can undercut any fighter by trying to nitpick their wins like that, and I think it is a terrible habit for an MMA fan.

Khabib and McGregor are both specialists and they are both damn good fighters. But yeah, McGregor's got the better resume at this point, and Khabib has got the better record.

lol, that's not an argument, it's a fact. Khabib is also not fighting at this proper weight class. While he'd still be a top fighter, I doubt he would be undefeated if he was doing that. MMA is not a sport where you go undefeated.
 
Did Conor fought bears though?
