Media GIFS: Who actually did the most damage and came the closest to finishing Khabib?

[Goosemen]

Obviously, it's not a brag to lose any fight,

but I think it's between Micheal Johnson or Justin Gaethje... possibly Poirier as well.

Micheal Johnsons hands were fast and powerful as hell, he knocked out Poirier in the fight before. Zipped Khabib pretty good.

Justin's punches visibly looked the hardest but Khabib took it, and Khabib said he's never been hit harder.

Poirier also landed well but Khabib got his footing back fast

People talk about Tibau but he landed next to no damage at all. Actually Khabib busted him up.

Conor's fabled third round was a bunch of sloppy pitter patter from Conor with Khabib landing the harder punches

 

[Luthien]

MJ

 

[Grapplefest]

Nobody came anywhere near close, but since this is relative Gaethje landed the hardest shots on him. Khabib superhuman chin ate them like they were tiramisu though

 

[Unheralded Truth]

I trust Khabib here, who said himself that Justin gave him the hardest time

 

[MuffinsAppletree]

The bear when he was a little kid.

 

[JustOnce]

I don't know, but I do know who got robbed the most.

MMA media isn't reliable, they were influenced by Rogan's commentary, I can't see a scenario where Tibau wins 2 rounds in that fight when he was pressed against the fence for most of it and getting cut opened by Khabib

lol is that it? Gifs of Tibau grazing Khabib and landing 1 second td's before Khabib gets up? You're proving my point.

Literally all of the GOAT's had close decisions go there way, but in Khabib's case he took no damage against Tibau.

(Jones/Reyes, Jones/Gus, Jones/Santos, Fedor/Arona, GSP/Hendricks ect.)



Tibau fought Khabib when Khabib was 23 and still didn't land anything of significance.

Justin fought Khabib in his prime and actually did damage. Plus he was a clean athlete.

 

[The-AxeMurderer]

Justin did the most damage

Dustin was closest with the guillotine

 

[ChimRichalds]

Those shots from Gaethje looked like they could KO a horse. Wild that Khabib didnt even blink.

 

[RemyR]

Well the man himself said Justin so I’m going with Justin

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

It's wild how rarely Khabib was hit cleanly and even wilder how well he took it the few times he was.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

The bear was the closest

But then Khabib took the rematch

Even the TD's Khabib got up in one second.

Justin fought Khabib in his prime and actually did damage. Plus he was a clean athlete.

Yeah but no Goats retired at 32 without having faced more than half the top 10 in his weight class and acted like he was p4p best and called it quits either.

 

[JustOnce]

Except Tibau got robbed.

Give it a rest, you muffin

 

[Goosemen]

Khabib is the LW Goat.

Tied for the record for most title defences in LW history.

(The best division)

He is not the most accomplished on the overall GOAT list, but that doesn't mean he's not the best P4P fighter.

 

[Noraaq]

Gaethje landed some hard punches and kicks. So yea probably Gaethje came the closest to getting a finish despite losing relatively quick

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

The bear was the closest

That power double

Except Tibau got robbed.

I understand the argument that Tibau could have been given the decision, but robbed?
