Media Belal says "Khabib could come back and be a champion right now. In any division he wants."

[Stump]

Could’ve
Would’ve
Should’ve

But didn’t.

This is the way.

True story

 

[IronGolem007]

Belal has been training with him, so he probably recognizes the skill level of Khabib, but he's obviously getting carried away with the "any division" rhetoric. He could probably grab the strap at welter though.

I don't see him making lightweight again. He is walking around at about 200 + lbs based on recent pics and videos.

Agree.

Khabib would not keep Pereira down, and would have no chance at heavyweight.

Already mops the floor with Belal, and would mop the floor with either Usman or Edwards, with impunity.

At lightweight, Islam has already said, "In the cage, no one beats Khabib," so Makhachev is likewise already aware that Khabib is better than he is.

Khabib was a fantastic LW fighter but If that was the case then he would have done that when he was actively fighting. He refused to go up in weight class in the UFC when his father wanted him to go up to WW. He also had reservations fighting GSP at WW. So, it tells me that Khabib knew his limits or had reservation on what was too much. You forget that Khabib was an actual WW and fighting at WW outside of the UFC before he signed with the UFC. When he signed with the UFC, he dropped down to LW rather than continuring to fight at WW. He had a long struggle of his own making weight at that division. It is not what you say but what you do.

If Tibau could come close to beating Khabib( some said he did), so would the much heavier and decorated wrestlers at WW and up. I am reading some crazy shit. Usman has a longer reach than khabib, is heavier, and stronger. Usman broke colbys jaw, Khabib would have no where to go.

 

[Last Falconry]

khabib hagiography is nauseating

 

[SuperNerd]

But?

 

[MeatGrinder]

Belal is such a terrorist inside that cage. He looks to be the next dominant Khabib type fighter. He's literally a ticking time bomb just ready to explode and destroy everyone.

 

[SirRealKiller]

I don't know about any weight but I bet he could come back and at the very least be the top contender in a division or two, if not the champ.

Usman said he will never fight Khabib.

Khabib wanted to fight GSP at catchweight.

By your own logic, if Belal’s son could beat Usman, Khabib would’ve dominated Usman

Find a woman who loves you the way Belal loves Khabib.

Could’ve

How is this different from “Charles/Chandler/Usman/Islam would’ve beat Khabib”? There is more evidence of the opposite.

 

[Rataria]

Belal: "Ive trained with Khabib so maby times , im starting to become exactly like him "

 

[El Fernas]

You're saying this as if FIGHTERS - actual people who fight for a living - do not understand this concept.

They do and still make these statements not because they are confused and don't know the difference between training and fighting.

Some do and some don't.

Just like we know people in life who exaggerate and others who don't.

I think Belal was exaggerating in "any weight class", but I think he was serious about Khabib's skill level compared to active UFC roster in multiple weight classes.

I disagree... I see a bunch of people on this list that Khabib can defeat.

I know all of that, but they still do exaggerate and make up stories around gym "fights", they love to bring up " i beat this guy when we sparred that day", no one beats no one, there are no scores and they are not going 100%, its not a fight, no matter what.

Sure, Khabib might still beat (current Khabib) some of the top 15 at WW, a lot of good LW´s usually have good runs at WW, but so far i have not seen anyone getting the belt other than BJ Penn, and that wont change imo, they all talk, Usman went crazy talk and mentioned LHW title, his MW fight was a loss against a former WW in Chimaev, not MW champion.

 

[Sean Ryan]

Flyweight Khabib will be king. After the Russians have his assets, it could happen.

 

[Tweak896]

Khabib vs Pereira would be hilarious

 

[Bork Neslar]

Bellend Muhamand is already talking too much. Just stfu and fight.

 

[CombatCyborg]

Even women's flyweight, Belal?

 

[Söze Aldo]

Any division? Would really like to see Khabib vs Jones

Also Khabib would lose a UD in any WMMA division because he would not allow any physical contact with the female fighters

He has anti-aura around baddies. You can make out the despair in his eyes he has to even be seen with uncovered women. The girls seem disappointed too.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

This is fish food for sherbum haters. They will attack this food with verasity.

Because it's a really retarded thing that Belal said.
Khabib never gave even the slightest inclination of moving up in weight, ducked a fight with GSP at catchweight.

Khabib wanted to fight GSP at catchweight.

Patently untrue, refused to move from 155 for a fight with GSP.
He even priced himself out of a grappling match by asking for $5 million. Ducked GSP as if his life depended on it. Why?
Because he knew what would happen.

 

[StonedLemur]

Rumor is, he's coming for that for that Flyweight belt..

Ffs lmao

 

[djacobox372]

Islam would embarrass Kahbib. He's almost as good on the ground and his standup is miles better.

Anybody who's watched this sport for long knows that when two master grapplers fight it's a standup war.
