Khabib was more dominant than Islam but yeah, he nearly died every time he made weight and wouldn't even consider trying out 170. Also Makhachev has faced a wider array of stylistic matchups, Khabib lucked out by facing striker after striker. MJ, Barboza, Poirier, Conor, Gaethje, Iaquinta etc.. RDA is a dcent grappler but we've seen him get manhandled many times since at 170 and Khabib was as big as a 170lber.Islam's never faced kidney failure due to avoiding 170.

Khabibs scalps are worth more name value, but that's where it tapers off to me. Islam uses that left RHK so effortlessly in concert with his punching/clinching, definitely the better striker while khabib has the more effective cage grapplingKhabib was more dominant than Islam but yeah, he nearly died every time he made weight and wouldn't even consider trying out 170.

Why would you go up and fight Woodley or Usman when your division is full of bums with no wrestling? If JDM was the WW champ in Khabib's era, he would've go up tooIslam's never faced kidney failure due to avoiding 170.
