Gaethje:'No one under 185 can beat Khabib.

If Khabib can't even beat Tibau, what makes you think he can beat Usman and Colby?

Don't get ahead of yourselves and be realistic, you fanboys are getting more and more ridiculous.
That was years ago. If you watch young Khabib and recent Khabib you'll see a lot more developed technique, more savvy, more baits and counters with his grappling. He's like a chess king. He'll even counter your counters.
 
I think Khabib vs Usman is a pretty even fight. Superior grappling skill (khabib) vs 10-15 pounds more muscle (Usman). Khabib has reached the point of being like Floyd Mayweather. "Don't take a fight where you might lose. Keep the invincible aura going on. Let the haters hate you because you don't take risks and run all the way to the bank."
 
195 lbs? He is 5’9”, he is not that heavy man. He has talked about it himself that out of camp he balloons up to 85 kg, which is about 187 lbs. In fight camp though, he is around 175 lbs. He is just not that big. Calling him a chickenshit is nonsense - he is a professional, world-class fighter, none of them are scared. But I think we’ll just have to agree to disagree.
I like how people say that fighters "balloon up" when they are out of camp.... that's bullshit. They just go back to their normal weights, they don't all of a sudden become fat bastards and slobs. Nonetheless, there are reasons that he goes through the crying agony of cutting so much weight that he is lifeless on the floor and his trainers have to drag him around like a geriatric aids patient. Most of the reasons involve some sort of chickenshittedness and I assume the others have to do with a lack of confidence in his skillset.

But yes, we will have to agree to disagree.
 
I'm just curious to see how Khabib mauls a guy who has been ground controlled the least probably in UFC history by bigger guys than Khabib but carry on
Do you know how high level Khabib is? Size is irreverent unless you are going to MW and upwards.

Who is on Khabibs level in WW?
 
Khabib is better than Usman everywhere.

Justin wouldn't turn on his own training partner unless he was spitting facts.

It's really clear to me that you're sipping on that Khabib Kool aid. So because Khabib wiped the floor with a bunch of strikers you suddenly think he can maul Kamaru freaking Usman.

Go learn to grapple then talk to me
 
I don't agree with that statement by Justin.
 
Would Khabib be able to stop Usman from wall and stalling while stomping on his feet?
 
Honestly I think Colby give Beeb a really tough fight. Usman KOs KHABIB. Even Beeb has a tough time getting Usman down . Marty is stronger , maybe not as skilled on the ground but close, and Marty would light him up standing.

Beeb beats Mas, WB, and anyone else IMO AT ww except maybe Khaz
 
Usman is a decision machine at the top level competition, and Colby fight was almost going to distance too he KOed him in the last second of the fifth round.

And you think Usman can KO Khabib? <45>
I think 100% he can KO Khabib if it's a standing fight. Colby was able to hang with Isman standing simply due to his cardiovascular allowing him to just keep throwing n putting Marty on defense. Finally shot caught up to him in rd 5. Khabin isn't nearly as busy n only a marginally better striker than Colby.
