Well rounded doesn’t mean a better fighter. Khabib has great cardio, his chin is better than Islam’s. People act like Tibau did something, he was on juice and still lost every round in Khabibs 2nd UFC fight (Islam got KOed in his 2nd UFC fight btw). I think Islam is more interesting but: “being a better grappler/wrestler, having great cardio/chin” >>>> “being well rounded”If Khabib fights a guy with elite Tibau esque TDD but the guy also has decent striking, he's in trouble whereas Islam not as much.
Seems to depend on the matchup.
Name them and then back up this claimIslam has had about 5 fights in his career that could have gone either way
Name them and then back up this claim
1. You didn't back up the claim on any of those.
- Alexander Volkanovski
- Mansour Barnaoui
- Dustin Poirier
- Chris Wade
- Arman Tsarukyan
ok, but Islam would still do better than Khabib against a decent striker with Tibau esque TDDWell rounded doesn’t mean a better fighter. Khabib has great cardio, his chin is better than Islam’s.

The Volkanovski fight could have gone either way.1. You didn't back up the claim on any of those.
2. He finished Dustin. How could that possibly have gone either way?
3. The other four went to decision, but he clearly won. Competitive doesn't mean "could have gone either way"
