Khabib :
-fought with more gusto
-Would be rageful at certain instances (face offs
-rageful mico and macro expressions
- Talked his shit even to non-oppenents (many instances, Arlem Lobotomov)
- was more brazen , downright abandoning gameplan
- greater sense of urgency from opening bell
- more unorthodox
- didnt release his grip/position as readily
- Wasnt as concerned with injury or even getting hit in the head (like a drunk driver came out unscathed)

But Issy's cautious and intellectual approach is better for WW where the cost of mistakes are higher.

Khabib ran away after a sad 3 defenses, refused to fight up and pulled out of half of his fights. I didn't respect the Poirier fight for Islam but Khabib wouldn't have fought Oliveira or ever dared to entertain the idea of moving up in weight. Islam gets the nod
