McGregor- 2 year lay off, drunk, injured and not training seriously
RDA, good win but loses to most wrestlers he faces. (Chesia and guida lol)
Poirer- good win
Barboza- decent win
Michael Johnson- decent win
AL- not elite and on one day notice

Nobody else is worth mentioning
That is NOT a great resume for "strength of competition" against almost every other fighter that has been ranked top 5.
 
Oh you must have read that other thread and got triggered.

The only opponent that matters is the one in front of you, and I'm not overlooking Tony.
 
Tony Ferguson’s resume is worse than Khabibs. Looking back the Cowboy and Pettis wins are soft wins against declining opponents. Beat a staph infected Kevin Lee. RDA his only really imprssive win the last 4 yrs. If you wanna say Khabibs resume is soft then fine, but don’t pretend anyone else has a better resume.
 
He beat McGregor and Poirier back-to-back. That's an all-time great achievement in my books.

GSP, Anderson Silva, Jon Jones never beat anyone as good as McGregor, Poirier or Dos Anjos.

Why be upset that Khabib beat Conor at his best? Just delusional?

Look fanboy... He Crushed McGregor, it's ok. You will get over this.... All of us at Sherdog are here for your emotional support.
 
No matter what Khabibs past competition was, he still smoked Conor.
 
I have been less than impressed with a lot of the “competition “ like last minute Al.

But he’s the champ and undefeated so there really isn’t much else to say.

How would he do against better comp? Who knows they need to put the in front of him.

If Dana hadn’t have been a butt hurt teenage girl about the Gsp fight we’d have more answers.

But he was and that’s not khabibs fault.
 
Khabib can only fight who's in front of him. If Mcgregor didn't train seriously, that's on him. Khabib has beat 2 former champions, an interim champion and is now facing a former interim champ in Tony.
Who is it that you think he should've fought that he hasn't? He can only fight who's there.
 
Ferguson resume is objectively worse.. yet no one seems to criticise it.


Khabib has 6 top 10 wins out of 12 UFC bouts.

Healy, Johnson, RDA, McGregor, Dustin and Barboza were all ranked in the top 10 when Khabib fought them..
Barboza, RDA, Dustin and McGregor were ranked in the top 5.

Al, Tavares, Trujillo and Shalorus are decent wins.

He'll be LW GOAT with a win over Tony.. so.

a win over TRT Vitor is better than Khabibs whole Combat Career.
 
Khabib one of the few people that will beat on a person and tell them he doesn't want to hurt them and asks politely that they surrender. Khabib smashes whomever is in front of him, in the end that is all that matters.
 
So now Conor fanboys are going with he was a drunk party animal who didn't even train, just for Khabib?

Conor is not a great LW, get over it. Probably one of Khabib's weaker wins.

Conor had a broken back plus he had cancer so that win doesn't count.
