Took me about 2 minutes to read and comprehend the OP. Are you guys dyslexic?


Also Khabibs record is a joke, which makes these pro khabib/anti conor threads so hilarious, which will make it even more funny when I bump all of your threads,

Padded record - 1-0 Nurmagomedov made his professional debut in 2008 against Vusal Bayramov, an Azerbaijani who was 0-0 at the time and eventually amassed a record of 2-5. All the losses that Bayramov suffered during a short two-year career came inside the distance.

2-0 Next up for Khabib was a man so bad they named him twice, Magomed Magomedov. It was a fight in itself just to find a database on this Russian with no age or height even known. Magomedov was four fights into his career when he fought Khabib. He was on a four-fight losing streak and all of those defeats came inside the distance. Magomedov finished his career with a negative record of 4-6.

3-0Khabib’s third fight was against fellow Russian, Ramazan Kurbanismailov. Another inexperienced competitor with only one fight to his name. Nurmagomedov won by unanimous decision and his opponent is currently 5-3-2, which more closely resembles a defensive-minded formation on FIFA than a decent fighter’s record.

4-0In his fourth bout, Nurmagomedov took a considerable step-up in competition considering his previous opponents, fighting a man who was 2-0. Shamil Abdulkerimov was defeated by Khabib via unanimous decision and only fought four more times thereafter, finishing up with a mediocre record of 4-3. His only claim to fame being that he once featured on an Emelianenko undercard. Unfortunately for Abdulkerimov it wasn’t the legendary Fedor, it was his lesser known brother, Aleksander.

5-0His fifth fight is laughable. Nurmagomedov faced Said Akhmed, who was making his debut at the time. Akhmed lost by first round TKO and has not fought since. He ended his ‘career’ 0-1, which begs the question; was this guy even a legitimate fighter or just someone they literally dragged in off the street?

6-0The Dagestani continued to be matched up against newcomers in his sixth fight where he fought Eldar Eldarov, who was 1-0 at the time. Eldarov has earned some credibility though, winning seven straight fights since losing to Nurmagomedov, taking his record to 8-1.

7-0The recurring theme of favourable match-ups was evident once again in Nurmagomedov’s seventh outing as he faced Shahbulat Shamhalaev, who only had two fights under his belt at the time. Khabib dispatched of his inexperienced opponent in the first round via kimura.

8-0Nurmagomedov went 8-0 after beating another unproven opponent in Ali Bagov, who was 2-1 at the time and coming off a submission loss. One must question why a seven-fight streaking Khabib was paired against such a green opponent coming off a loss. Bagov can best be described as a journeyman fighter, as he went on to accumulate a lacklustre record of 23-10 with an 80 per cent TKO loss rate.

9-0Khabib extended his winning streak to nine by beating another subpar opponent in Vitaliy Ostrovskiy. The Belarussian came into the fight 3-3, with two of his victories coming against an opponent with 28 losses (20 by submission) and the other against a fighter with a 1-2 record. Top class opposition indeed. Ostrovskiy didn’t fare much better after losing to Khabib as he lost six of his next seven fights and seven of eleven overall before retiring with an 8-11 record.

10-0 Given Nurmagomedov’s record at this stage, you’d expect him to be lined up against adversaries with similar records but this was not the case. For his tenth fight, Khabib dispatched of Alexander Agafonov, a Ukrainian who had competed in half the number of fights that the ‘Eagle’ had. Agafonov retired shortly after his defeat to Nurmagomedov, with an undesirable record of 5-3 having competed for barely two years.

11-0 Khabib scored a submission victory over Said Khalilov to extend his unbeaten run to eleven in April 2011. The defeat to Nurmagomedov was the second of the five-fight losing streak that ended Khalilov’s career. He finished up with an unattractive record of 12-13, with defeats to Dennis Siver and Albert Tumenov along the way.

12-0 Astonishingly, an undefeated, eleven-fight streaking Khabib was somehow matched with a fighter 0-2 for his twelfth contest. Ashot Shahinyan was the fighter in question and he faced the multiple time sambo world champion in the middle of a five-fight losing streak. The Armenian went 0-2 in his next two contests before picking up the first win of his career. He subsequently retired with a record of 1-5.

13-0Unlucky for some, 13, was the complete opposite for Nurmagomedov as he was gifted yet another untested opponent with just two previous fights. Khabib defeated fellow Russian Kadzhik Abadzhyan in the first round. It was the second defeat of what turned out to be a six-fight losing streak for Abadzhyan, who eventually finished with a 3-6 overall record.

14-0Victory number 14 came against Hamiz Mamedov. The Azerbaijan native went 0-3 at the beginning of his career before putting together a decent four-fight winning streak that was eventually snapped by Nurmagomedov. Mamedov was hit and miss and retired in 2014 with a mediocre 8-4 record.

15-0Obviously, by this point of Khabib’s career, overseas MMA organisations would have been scouting the Dagestani with a view to signing him up. Usually, a fight against a noteworthy name is what management seeks to speed up the process but for Nurmagomedov it couldn’t have been more opposite. Bewilderingly, in his 15th professional fight Khabib fought an opponent making his debut. Yes, you read that correctly. At 0-0, Vadim Sandulitsky was the next opponent for the 14-0 Nurmagomedov and needless to say it ended in the first round. Cherry picking at its finest.

16-0Nurmagomedov’s last fight before joining the UFC’s ranks was against Arymarcel Santos, a Brazilian with 72 fights to his name. At the relatively young age of 33, ‘Chocolate’ Santos has a crazy record of 38 wins and 34 losses and is still actively competing. Khabib was the Brazilian’s 51st fight and he was 28-22 at the time. Khabib got the stoppage and is just one of 14 KO/TKO losses for Santos.

came across this on another site, credit to whoever took the time to write this masterpiece , interesting look @ khabibs padded record. Tell me Conor wouldnt be undefeated with a resume like this

Funny to see how many times Khabib has pulled out of UFC fights whenever he is presented with a decent challenge.... guy is a farse and will be exposed october 6 . Cherry picking fighters his entire career, go watch khabib fight, nothing special bout this guy, go watch mcgregor, his movement technique power speed is on another level, once in a lifetime type of fighter , enjoy him while hes here .

No, Conor would not be undefeated. He lost to Sitenkov who was 4-4 and is now 15-16...LOL. Also to a 19-11 Diaz. AFAIK, Khabib has never lost. It's a shame all your hard work had no effect..

 

[IsNormal]

Yeah, I hate when people just talk about Khabib being 26-0 as if all wins were equal.
We should separate the 10 wins inside the UFC from the 16 wins outside the UFC.

Sure, being undefeated in lower leagues has some merit.
Cause if you fight often enough chances are you'll lose to a fluke sooner or later.

But to me, fights against nobodies early in a fighter's career barely even matter once a fighter has become an established elite fighter.
I don't care if someone is 26-0 or 24-2 if those 2 losses were way back when they were just starting out.
So I think people are really overrating the idea of being undefeated. At least if they pretend like there's a huge difference between someone who has 1 early loss and someone who doesn't.

 

[revoltub]

His first 16 fights took 3 years, at 15-0 he was still 22, young and green, did you expect him to be matched with killers ?

That's how you build up a fighter. What matters is that he has been in the UFC and have dominated all the same and that his whole career he hasn't been in real trouble once.

By Max Holloways first 16 fights, he already faced Porier, Conor, Benevidez, and Cub Swanson.

And he still became a champ. So excuse khabib's record all you want, some guys get thrown to the wolves and still make it to the top.

Khabibs undefeated record is like a boxing undefeated record. Padded and manufactured.

Sure, he's pulled out a few times.

But with his 3 latest fights I don't think you can say that anymore

* He accepted fighting Barboza, after he beat Pettis, Giblert and knocked out Dariush with a flying knee.

* He accepted fighting Ferguson for the title. This time it was Ferg who pulled out.
Khabib proceeded to accepted a long list of short notice replacements. Sadly the all fell through. He ended up with Al Iaquinta. Which wasn't the strongest opponent.
But it wasn't like Khabib was cherry picking.
He accepted everyone the UFC put in front of him.

* And now he's accepted a fight with Conor.

Yeah Khabib wasn't lucky enough to be born in US, he actually had to work hard to get into the UFC. He came at a time when there was almost no russians in the UFC and he opened it up for the others. It would have not been possible without an impressive record.

There is nothing padded about an undefeated record when he has been fighting the best guys willing to fight him in the UFC for 6 years now.

Well, it's true that it's padded.
But what if you remove the padding?
Undefeated for 10 fights in the UFC is pretty good isn't it?
Sure, he has some not-that-big names on his record, but wins over Tibau, RDA, Michael Johnson, Barboza and Iaquinta make up for that.

No other LW fighters have significantly superior records to Khabib. (I'd say he and Tony are about equal, maybe Tony got the slight edge after beating Lee.)

But a feather in the hat for Khabib is the fact that he's never really been in trouble or lost a round.
Unlike Tony.
That's one reason it's easy to talk about Khabib as being "undefeated" - cause we've never seen anyone get the better of him, even for a single round.

That has nothing to do with it. Lol. Or are you saying all Russian fighters suck beside khabib?

 

[revoltub]

Well, it's true that it's padded.
But even if you remove the padding it's still pretty good to be undefeated with 10 fights in the UFC with wins over guys like Tibau, RDA, Michael Johnson, Barboza and Iaquinta.

And it's not just about the numbers.
It's also about how he's never really been in trouble or even lost a round (I think).

Tibau beat him imo

 

[SRN]

I knew his pro UFC career was padded but never knew it was that bad! lol Anyway, he's proving himself in the UFC fight after fight. I don't like the guy but he's no joke.

 

[suffersystem]

The guy is champ, and has 4 top ten wins in ten fights I think his UFC record speaks for itself.

Yeah, it was a very close fight. I wouldn't have been upset if Tibau got the win.

What will all the nuthuggers say after a fighter with a padded record beats the shit out of their hero ?
