-I know Khabib competes in the most stacked division in MMA history, but it's pointless to really credit Khabib when Khabib hasn't fought the best at LW - and when Khabib has NO wins over any currently top 5 ranked LWs

- Yes, Khabib has beaten strikers, but he's never beaten an elite striker as elite as Conor. Rousey herself KOd some strikers until she met a truly elite one.

The most honest comparison you could make to Khabib is Rousey. Both are world class grapplers who seemed indestructible due to matchmaking (again, even though Khabib is in the most stacked division in MMA, just look at how many top LWs Khabib avoided or never fought)

Rousey dominated with grappling just like Khabib

Even though Rousey beat strikers she had never faced anyone with the striking and striking experience of Holm.

Does that ring a bell?

That's exactly like Conor vs Khabib

Even though Khabib has beaten some good strikers he has never faced anyone with the elite striking of Conor and world class experience of Conor

People like to rag on Conor, but Conor has fought and beaten nothing but the absolute best of the best in MMA. Holloway, Aldo, Mendes, Alvarez, Poirier etc

Conor even shared the ring with the best in boxing, and went 10 rounds

The kind of experiences Conor has gained and has, is the kind of experience you can never just get on your own, train for, or prepare for

Khabib has never experienced the highest level of MMA

While Conor has for most of his career

Khabib has never experienced sharing the ring with any master, in any one craft, like Conor just did sharing the ring with Floyd, and going a 10 hard rounds in boxing (which by the way means Conor's cardio is going to be on another level now returning to MMA)

Once Ronda went up against Holm she was drowned out by Holm's experience. She had not clue what to do

Khabib has never experienced the highest level, he's never fought anyone even remotely as skilled of a striker as Conor is

How is he going to handle Conor's footwork, counter punching, fight IQ, experience. Just look to what happened to Rousey the first time she had to deal with a truly elite striker who had footwork and counter punching. The similarities are erie.

And both Holm and Conor are the underdogs

While both Holm and Conor are hungry, training with fire, and taking Rousey/Khabib as seriously as possible to expose them
 
PROlogic is a Conor hating troll
 
That's a huge stretch. Nurmagomedov is not Rousey.
the similarities are actually quite close, both with god aweful standup and both great at grappling, what arent you getting ?

Mcgregor will KO Khabib with ease.

I expected a dumb thread but you have a well thought out OP.

The Ronda and Khabib comparison is pretty idiotic though, because Ronda has actually hurt people with punches.
 
Only Khabib is very well rounded while Conor is one dimensional like Rousey. His left is Rondas armbar. Soon he will be crying in a purple pillow.

Conor striking is not elite. If he was elite striker he wouldnt lost to nate in first match and 2ND match he would have put nate away. floyd toyed with him, I he was elite floyd would fought defense not offense push forward. Get off this Conor elite striking shit.
 
Neither does Conor



Neither has Conor faced an elite grappler, at least one who is his size and has more than 10 days notice. Despite that, Mendes showed some success in out grappling Conor.



How many top LWs has Conor fought/never fought?



Grappling is a catch all term for many different disciplines. Khabib certainly has more of a varied grappling arsenal than Rousey. The talent pool he faces is also infinitely deeper than what Ronda was facing.



Even though Conor has beaten a wrestler who was smaller than him and wasn't even peaking physically on fight night, he's never faced anyone with the grappling experience of Khabib.



Even though Conor has beaten some good strikers he has never faced anyone with the elite grappling of Khabib and world class experience of Khabib. See? I can play these silly games too.



You can't claim to be knowledgeable about boxing, Mr. Boxingislife, and not understand that Floyd basically carried Conor and made him look like an absolute idiot in what amounts to a half-assed sparring match.

I'm not even going to continue with the rest as it is so incredibly simplistic and uninspiring.

You would appear much more believable if your posts weren't so ridiculously one-sided, but as it stands, you really come across as a pseudo-intellectual wannabe who has never seen the inside of a gym, and uses this persona you've created to feed some rabid teeny-bopper obsession with Conor McGregor.

Absolutely destroyed the OP. Well done. OP has an IQ of 20.
 
Conor fans are the cringiest and most delusional fanatics in sports history.
 
Lol @ comparing Khabib to rhonda!!! The only reason rhonda ended fights on the ground was because her opponents clinched her. Her judo was useless without a gi and her wrestling sucked. Meisha subbed holly with a different approach. Khabib will molest macgregger!!
 
Theres a reason Conor signed on the dotted line for this fight
 
Didnt read the whole thing but no the eagle smashes everybody at 155. Wishful thinking on the history repeats itself but its not ronda vs Holmes its khabib vs conor.

Holm isn’t an elite striker.
Rousey lost because she believed she was an elite boxer and chased a counter striker.
You’re looking for substance that fits your POV, where there isn’t any.
We get it, you’re a Conor fan.

Yeah but you left out one thing. Khabib ain't drinking so much of his Koolaid that he thinks he has a chance striking with Conor. That's where Ronda messed up. She actually believed she was a better striker than Holm. I don't see Khabib making that mistake.
 
Why do you construct posts like this ?

Do you not understand how to construct paragraphs ?

It's incredibly annoying.
 
You can never compare Khabib to Ronda. I don't really like Khabib much but to say he hasn't been tested in the octagon and hasn't fought the elite of the elite is bullshit.
Gleison Tibau was an absolute monster when he fought Khabib. Tremendously good grappling and KO power in both hands, juiced out of his mind.
A very game Abel Trujillo. This wasn't a big win for Khabib but at the time Abel was pretty good.
Rafael Dos Anjos. Former champ, one of the more dominant LW champions, top WW contender, the guy is a very tough fight for anybody.
Michael Johnson, not a good grappler but one of the hardest LW hitters in the world. Khabib outstruck him on the feet.
Edson Barboza, very unpredictable but bad at fighting while moving backwards. The greatest kicker in LW history by a long shot, yet none of his kicks even remotely hurt Khabib. Let's not forget Kevin Lee's chicken dance after the heel kick.
Al Iaquinta, good defensive grappling, very good takedown defense, durable chin and decent power behind his punches. Not really elite of the elite but still top 10 ranked.

When Ronda Rousey 'the one trick pony that gets fucked up if she can't get the armbar' outstrikes multiple WORLD CLASS STRIKERS ON THE FEET, you might have an argument.
