stillWas Khabib really a risk taker? Never tried his hand at 170 and was a bit of a pullout merchant and before his winning the title he won a lot by decision.

That makes it even worse, it shows ww was his natural weightclass but he would rather kill himself to make weight in the big leagues than risk fighting someone his own size.nice try...he was 11-0 at WW
He did the same the same thing in the Trujillo fight. Spend more time watching fights and less time bitchingLike he did that once in his freaking UFC career, prob because Gaehtje was so bad on the ground
Also handy to see people who called GSP lay and pray vs yet praise Islam as some risk taking savantThe thread's handy to see who has never grappled in their life before.
"Attacking and changing position non-stop is risky? Derp, how?? Conor told me wrestling isn't fighting back when I turned 14 last month"
khabib took no risk at all and successfully ducked ww. he was a weight bully in a division full of strikers
and FW leftovers.
I dunno? did you watch his fight with Gaethje? Or are you not able to accuratley describe anything that you see?Was Khabib really a risk taker?
Nobody is calling him a risk taker. The general consensus in the thread is that he (compared to Khabib) plays the safer positions and attacks less. You seem to be addressing non existent claims.Also handy to see people who called GSP lay and pray vs yet praise Islam as some risk taking savant
GSP is boring lnp vs top 5 fighters Islam is future goat look how active he is against guys outside the top 15 derp
Willingly abandoning high control positions for high offensive positions.Willingly risking his neck to secure takedowns. Prioritizing positions where he could gnp over positions he can pin. Attacking submissions even from any position.Not sure where "risk-taker" and "Khabib" meet...
Obv not in the way that stupid slug fest fans would describe it.Not sure where "risk-taker" and "Khabib" meet...
But in grappling, he was never in any danger.Obv not in the way that stupid slug fest fans would describe it.
But his grappling was very aggressiive. Constantly going for offense, giving up "safe" positions for more aggressive ones, diving into guillotines to secure TDs, always pressuring, going for subs instead of pinning.
This is the type of aggression that people who train see, certainly no bum rush. But not much people are confident enough to grapple this way from the top instead of lay and pray.
You can only be aggressive when someone capitalizes on the risk you take?But in grappling, he was never in any danger.
You realize that things can be risky and pay off yeah? Winning a gamble doesn't make it not a gambleBut in grappling, he was never in any danger.
