It seems like the all time favorite MMA fight of the Khabib hater is the Khabib-Tibau fight, in which Khabib won a unanimous decision against a seasoned vet in Tibau who is huge for the weight class in just his 2nd UFC fight at the age of 23. Apparently this fight is proof that he is overrated, because Tibau was "robbed"(ROFL). Anyway, suppose we all pretend to be complete morons just for the sake of argument and argue that indeed, Khabib clearly should have lost the fight. How does this discredit him? It took place in 2012, over five years ago. Here's a list of other fights that took place in 2012 or even more recently:
Tony Ferguson lost to Michael Johnson
Woodley got KO'd by Marquardt
Stipe got KO'd by Struve
Lawler was dominated by Lorenz Larkin
Mighty Mouse was dominated and nearly finished in the last round of his first fight with McCall, a draw, and most thought McCall should have won.
Max Holloway was awarded a controversial decision against Leonard fucking Garcia.
Robert Whittaker lost to Court McGee (2013)
TJ Dillashaw lost to Raphael Assuncao (2013)
There may be more but that's a good enough list, you get the picture.
Anyone using any one of these fights to discredit the loser nowadays would be laughed off the forums, and rightfully so. So why does a post like
"Khabib lost to Tibau, LOL" get like 50 likes?
