Media SLO MO: Khabib and Islam's reaction to Tagir getting taken down

[Dirty Frank]

The horror.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

The horror.

Khabib having PTSD flashbacks from the Tibau fight.
Getting taken down for a Dagestani is as dishonorable as running away from battle for a samurai

Khabib having PTSD flashbacks from the Tibau fight.

He got back up in seconds.

Is that recorded as a TD?

I actually give Khabib credit for taking on that juiced up monster when he was only 23 and taking no damage. He was fresh out of highschool and controlling prime Tibau against the cage all night.

I can see why the judges gave it to him.

Was he held back five years?

lol think about how young 23 is though. Most fighters are getting subbed by cans at regional events at that age.

The fact that is he was fighting a juiced to the gills 28 year year old who had at least 10 pounds on him, and he had him pressed up against the cage most of the fight. Tough fight to call.

I mean he did have alot of practice beating up those first 20 bums on his record.

I'm just having some fun. The Khabib-Tibau discussion will live on forever.

How many guys are fighting world class fighters before the age of 23 though?

Yah, not really a TD worth noting against him. If anything, this is a much better example a few fights later, Khabib actually got put on his back and kept there for a bit.

Not many, Jon Jones at 23 fought some of the best LHWs of all time. Shogun Rua comes to mind. I mean there are dozens of other examples but but those two come to mind.

 

[Boomb]

The horror.

Which version of "One" is the song in the video? I never heard it and it sounds pretty cool.

edit: Nevermind, it's probably this:

Able Trujillo? Good find. That was one of the best Khabib fights. He set the UFC td record against that guy.

The sequence when he was on his back was awesome. Very offensive guard game.

Victor belfort, jon Jones, reem , aldo .

kinda crazy thats the only blemish on his career

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

What kinda Metallica remix is that in the video

 

[Goosemen]

Victor belfort, jon Jones, reem , aldo .

True. I'm not saying it's unheard of. Most fighters don't start taking on top competition until around 26-28 though.

Aldo, Overreem and Belfort all took losses early in their careers as well. It's probably more wise to wait longer for most fighters.

This is just some really high level grappling all around. The punches to the takedown at the very beginning of the video from Trujillo is really great stuff too. Khabib scrambles, gets back to his feet and proceeds to take Trujillo down was so smooth.

These scrambles with prime T-Ferg would have been legendary, such a shame we never got to see it.

This exactly. Khabib was wrecking hhim and showed a great bottom game.
