Can we finally agree that even PRIME Tony gets mauled by Khabib?

[hbombbisping]

Tony tripped over a wire, hurt his leg, missed his title shot, and then Justin ended his career, Tony was never the same after this beating



Khabib walked through Justin right after

I don't think there are currently any hardcore fans that stupid to actually believe Tony would have been favorite or that he would have had a good chance.

Well the odds makers at the time thought Tony had a good chance.
Plenty of people thought and still think he'd have a good chance.
If you don't think prime Tony had a good chance, you aren't a hardcore fan.

 

[FriskyRandy]

Khabib would've destroyed him. Prime Tony lost the first round and was dominated on the ground by fucking Kevin Lee.

People just needed some ray of hope to root for back then.

And I don't like Khabib at all.

That Kevin Lee fight highlights why prime Tony had a decent chance.

Tony's legendary streak is a list of nobodies, hypetrains, washed up and even an actual ill fighter on antibiotics.
When he fought a relatively strong wrestler in Castillo his mythological ground game was nowhere to be found and got gifted a bs decision.
The first time he fought a current top guy he got massacred.

Common sentiment these days is that Khabib was an overrated can crusher with a padded record who quit before he could face any real challenges.

No it isnt lol

If we made a poll about this fight Khabib would win probably 80 - 20

 

[HHJ]

Beating Khabib would have been easier if they had fought earlier.

By the time they tried to make it right before Covid, Khabib was too good for anyone to beat.

 

[VinceArch]

Justin ended Tony's career and Khabib walked through him like nothing buddeh, no comparison

MMAth doesn't work.

lmao how’s that true when literally the president of the United States said that Khabib is the GOAT

A lot of folks throw fits about his name even appearing in goat conversations on the dawg and they say that only a stone cold casual holds the President's opinion

Cerrone was top 10, RDA is khabibs second best win IMO, also top 10, Pettis a past champion, who had fallen off but was still elite IMO, Josh Tompson, Barboza..
Fuck Gleison arguably beat Khabib but Tony finished him in their fight.

Tony's resume from his fun as fuck streak arguably beats Khabib's entire MMA career.

 

[Givvee]

zero chance for prime Tony, in order to beat Khabib, you need to have very strong positional grappling, Tony was kind of the opposite, funky creative style, but he also got mounted and dominated by kevin Lee....

 

[Subline]

Tony's best chance at winning would have been in 2015

 

[560ti]

Tony's best chance at winning would have been in 2015

Agreed. That 2015 to 2017 era would've statistically been his best shot

Most of the what ifs are what if the fight had happened around 2020 but by that time he endured two major knee surgeries and he had to get on psych meds around that time as a resolution to a restraining order and those meds really screw up your training/conditioning

He didn't just beat Tibau he even took him down and choked him out. Josh Thomson was a consistent top 10 guy who could go toe to toe with anyone on any night and he got absolutely steam rolled which no one had done to Thomson in an entire decade.

Like you said he resume wasn't nobodies he fought a lot of guys that were top 10 or extremely durable.

You again. Several straight posts going off topic following me around insukting with no reply from me but I'll reply to this time stalker mushroom

It had nothing to do with the MMA side of the forum princess, nobody is going to ban be for clowning Conor fans in hiding who are too ashamed to admit it.

He got embarrassed

Khabib broked him and his fans this stain will remain forever

That 0 is never going to go

 

[tank666]

Tony goes for multiple subs but Khabib powers through them. Khabib sustains some damage and couple of times looks in trouble but wins on PTS.

Tony is beaten, face bloodied and bruised but defiant and tells the crowd "He never hurt me not even once. Im ready to go 5 more rounds right now" Khabib shakes his head and says "this guy talk crazy. I won. We fight again I win again."

His status where he is on the all time greats, which is top 10 at best, will also never change.

Luckily for us, it seems like you are going away soon.
You and your gay love for Khabib with your shit posts/treads will not be missed.
Very strange dude.

Whatever helps you sleep easier in your little bubble, GOAT and Conor is not even going to be first at Instagram either esp now that Nikita told everyone he was thinking about Khabib when he done it, most popular fighter in the world, GOAT and best coach ever

why you eat slap stalker?

 

[Yabadabaev]

It is a coin toss but both goes to 50-45 or 30-27
