How come Khabib never got finished by average fighters like Matt Serra in his prime?

[hbombfromhell]

Is it because his chin is better or just a better fighter?

This would never happen to Khabib.

 

[TheMessiah]

That's still one of the most embarrassing losses of all time, and yes it definitely affected GSP's legacy

He ducked them

To be fair we don't know what Khabib would do if he were rocked hard like that and eating a rain of punches. He might tap as well but we can't really compare because he's never been in that situation

Because at the comparable time (15 fights) GSP fought serra and had already fought hughes 2x bj penn, trigg, hieron, karo and miller, while khabib was fighting guys who no wikipedia through his 15th fight

No this is.

Completely different era.
GSP improved throughout his UFC career whereas Khabib was moreso the finished product when he first fought with the company.

GSP was a classic striker though, Khabib not so much.

GSP fought 3x that year. Different breed, took on all comers.

And he tapped to strikes to Matt Serra. What's your point?

 

[omawho402]

GSP left the sport having won 12 TITLE fights in a row and 1 of those being in a higher weight class, Khabib has 13 wins TOTAL in UFC. Make of that what you will

GSP fought 22 times in the UFC, fighting that often anyone can slip on a banana peel and he more than avenged his only 2 losses which shows heart and perseverance

Fuck perfect records, fans put way too much weight on them

Ring activity is an advantage.

The point is GSP faced significantly better competition early in his career khabib did not, can't compare. Part of the reason khabib will never be in the goat convo. His record has 16 absolute certified cans before the UFC

Khabib just ate Poirier, Gaethje and Conor looking the best he has in his entire career.

GSP got handled by Hendricks, gifted a decision and retired.

This makes no sense at all.

What a shit thread

 

[Kraken]

Stupid game.

How come GSP has more title defenses at a higher weight class (one that Khabib didn't dare step foot in in the UFC over the course of his career)?

How come GSP was a two-weight division champ and Khabib wasn't?

You can twist this either way. Troll thread.

Khabib is 29-0 and never been scratched.

GSP is great and may have more names on his record but Khabib is by far the better, more dominant fighter.

Staying active is a skill.

 

[hbombfromhell]

The true GOAT would never tap to strikes.

Yeah, that may or may not be true.

Thread is still utterly retarded.
