Is Khabib the largest fighter Gaethje has faced, if not who?How much bigger do you reckon Khabib is?

[Moral Victory]

At the first face off Khabib looked about 15lbs heavier.
At the staredown after they had some time to rehydrate, they looked a bit closer in weight but Khabib still looked heavier, mostly due to his width.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

No because Khabib and Dustin are the same size. Vick and Alvarez are much bigger.

 

[2EZ]

I am sure if u ask gsethje he wrestled godzilla growing up and nobody works as hard or as long as him

 

[Brca031]

DC said that he found Khabib at the AKA gym, sniffing jock straps in the dark.
Justin had no chance to begin with.

Yeah Vick would likely be bigger than Khabib.

 

[Harlekin]

Probably, because Khabib didn't make weight anyway

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Has to be that severely malnourished and grossly underweight Vick. He should be 245. He doesn't look like he has ate a meal in years. Went up to WW and still looks incredibly gaunt and pale and sickly.

Josh Thomson said Khabib is around 177-180 walk around weight. I don't know about Gathje's walk around weight but I'd imagine close to that.

Doostin and Eddie would be about the same as Khabib in terms of thickness. Gaethje himself could be a FW, if he wanted to.

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

I was sure khabib is bigger but today weigh in face off justin looked not that far away from khabib(I thought the bicep differential would be bigger),I think justin can survive to the fifth

Swiped it from there.

Khabib mauls him. D1 level wrestling will be discredited tomorrow.

 

[Fossor]

Tough weight cut. Dana White really shrunk in two days.

Conor a solid 171 pounds at 155, yet you still have people claiming he's a natural featherweight, lol.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

After another tough weight cut delusional people on here will still claim Khabib is an average or even small lightweight.

He's cutting from 174 on fight week. That is average at lightweight.

Sources on those weights? Only weights I believe are the ones released on fight night for events in California.

 

[Enigma87]

Source? Wtf you on about

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Source? Wtf you on about

He's referring to the way Khabib reacted when he was on the scale, looked like he thought he missed weight.

Aldo had trouble making 145 in the past, Burgos doesn't.

Aldo was a huge 145er and Burgos is average for 145 confirmed.

Paulo Costa is an average middleweight too, confirmed.
