Chris Weidman>Khabib Nurmagomedov

Weidman 3 defences also he beat the Undisputed MW Champion (not a real estate agent for a vacant belt) who is highly regarded by many as "THE GOAT" then beat him again in the rematch and then Machida and TRT Vitor and also fought WAY tougher guys (a murderers row) throughout his entire UFC run the guy never had an easy fight. Khabib got lobbed many a softball during his run.

Legit

I don't expect this to last long but ya'll needed to hear that

No way, form, or fashion
Unless you mean he could literally beat Khabib 1 on 1. Then maybe.

 

[JustOnce]

Weidman is pound for pound, one of the most talented fighter I've seen, bar none.

I think Weidman is better pound for pound, without a single shred of a doubt, prime for prime. Now legacy wise, Khabib being undefeated, I can't comment on that comparison.

You were so proud of your post in the other thread, you thought it needed its own thread. Sad.

No.

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Weidman stuffs his shots and slaps him around. This time, khabib won’t have Rockhold to save him

 

[mmadeewana]

I love Sherdog.

Beat the Undisputed MW champion who was on a 17 fight win streak. Who did Khabib beat to get his belt? Al something?

Welp, you heard it, y'all. Pack it up. Discussion over.
teh Chis bless.
LOVE WINS

I actually think in the best of all time rankings they are close to eachother where ever they are in the rankings.

Chris has fought WAY better competition in his career than khabib has. FACT. Cannot be disputed.
Chris title wins are significantly more valuable than khabibs as well.

 

[jeff7b9]

No.

No, he is not.

If you wish to place some sort of limiting factor on the discussion it would need to be directly stipulated.

For example:

If you ignore everything after round 2 of the Rockhold fight.

Or

If we only count a fighters first 15 fights.

Otherwise you are comparing a guy who was badly koed many times to an undefeated fighter who barely ever took so much as a scratch in 29 pro fights.

 

[OneOfOne]

No, I can't endorse this. Weidman isnt more accomplished than Khabib. And I am no Khabib fan.

 

[Mr Wings]

There’s a good argument there. It’s just easy to somewhat forget or dismiss guys that had some losses, but we shouldn’t.

 

[JKS]

His run in title fights was pretty dam impressive. Silva, Silva, Vitor, Machida

 

[GoGetSomeFansJon]

Prime Weidman was a special fighter and i think people do forget how good he was once he fell hard from grace.

 

[BangBang]

Prerty sure Weidman died when Romero kneed him in the ass.

Teh Chris was also undefeated before he won the title with only 9 fights experience to KTFO "The GOAT" who was on 17 fight win streak.

Imagine if Chris retired after Vitor he could parade around calling himself a GOAT as well but he never gave up and kept challenging himself against stellar competition.

 

[tomjones]

Khabib was far better.
