Media “In a game of blood, we saw a man without a scratch”

[I WILL CUT YOU]

Khabib could have been in GOAT conversation but his resume isn't long enough unfortunately.

 

[Poatan Power]

Best up against the cage grappler ever.

In the top 3 most dominant fighters P4P ever imo.

Probably 20th in terms of accolades/legacy.

 

[MillingMeSoftly]

Khabib, truly a man who "avoids conflict."

look up the word conflict, and then get back to me

 

[djacobox372]

How many title defenses did Anderson have without a scratch? And he's a standup fighter!

 

[FierceHitman]

What song is that in the video? Been scrolling down the comments section of the video forever trying to see if anyone posted it but no luck

It isn't a game of blood. It is a game of points, knockouts, and submissions. Blood is but a very small part of this game.

The bleeding thing is funny. You can bleed and beat an opponent who didn’t bleed. It’s not some important factor. If I submit you right away you won’t bleed but it’s not some accomplishment.

Khabib rarely made his opponent bleed either. Barboza is the only one I can think of off of the top of my head.

So what? Lol. Is Khabib not as good as fighters who make their opponent bleed more? Weird.

Let’s see you try it, if it’s so unimpressive.
He stood with Conor and put him on his ass. The threat of the take down can make even the best strikers hesitate and can even result in the wrestler KO’ing the striker ala CroCop vs Randelman.
But that’s probably not impressive to you either, is it keyboard champion of your mom’s basement.

But he didn’t make Conor bleed so did he even really win? Lol

He's a TD machine, not a standup fighter.

His offensive wrestling made it possible to avoid a lot of damage that he may have incurred during a standup fight.

I'm not seeing how this is impressive, although it seems it's meant to be.

There have been plenty of TD-based fighters in the UFC, none of them have avoided the visible accumulation of damage that Khabib has.

Even just being the least-hittable TD specialist in MMA would be impressive, but Khabib also was both undefeated and a LW champ. That's at least impressive, even if you don't think he's the best thing we've ever seen.

I don't think Khabib belongs anywhere on a GOAT candidate list for having such a critically short record against top 5 competition, but that doesn't mean what he did in MMA is any less impressive, because it was very impressive.

 

[Fedora Millionankles]

Well, he did get marked up and bruised but his «immunity» to damage was impressive and probably never seen before.

BJ Penn, when young and in his prime, was unmarkeable. Lol

 

[KarateYeah]

To be fair, we also saw him retire too soon...unfortunately..but yeah, not getting a scratch is impressive nevertheless

Thought this was going to be about Strickland's title win.

Sadly for you, not everyone gets to be so wonderfully clueless as you are.
