I think his stand up is horrible

 

[Luvhawky]

If he couldn't threaten a takedown, I think he would be average.

 

[wilKO]

I think his stand up is horrible

It's better than Joe Rogans.

 

[white crow]

It’s somewhere in between average and slightly above average bruh.

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

technically very bad,flat footed and stiff,but his movement is so bad that is unique and unexpected,hard to read

 

[DariusTheGreat]

I think his stand up is horrible

he barely ever gets hit while standing with top strikers so i dont know why u think that

 

[William Huggins]

He has that sambo striking game...............

On a serious note, if you actually pay attention, his defence is pretty good.......

 

[Casualcore]

How many threads do we need about this?

 

[Portland8242]

Agreed.

His striking is like one of those poodle dogs with an underbite that's so ugly it almost looks cute.

The beauty of MMA is his other tools and his unexpected movements had lead to 28-0. War Khabib

 

[ResurrectionOfJesus]

offensive striking is below average ... good jab, but terrible footwork, doesn't cut the cage, back hand nearly inexistant, over commit, kicks nearly inexistant, knees same, elbows same, not very athletic, his jumping knees can't touch the head of his opponent LOL.

Defensive striking is REALLY good, very good vision, reflexes, always aware where he is in the cage, good circling around the cage, good headmovement, catch kicks, never shows whether he is hurt or not, yep his defensive striking is really elite

 

[Tyr XIII]

his stand up looks clunky, but he has very good cardio and hes strong as a mule. he also takes hits pretty dang well and barely gets hit clean but thats more because people are scared to let go vs him

 

[Dragonslayer82]

If he couldn't threaten a takedown, I think he would be average.

Forget the boxing, you should be talking about the slapping. Hell he slapped Conors face. At end of the fight with Mcnuggets, you couldn't tell if it was his face or bitches severely slapped arse.

[Drugstore Cowboy]

Awful mechanics, but still capable cuz of chin, age and TD threat.

But to be fair, 90%+ of MMA fighters have flaws in striking.

 

[Thy]

does he box? I think his striking ain't normal boxing.

 

[Yacob]

Herky jerky....definitely not fluid.

He's either never had a true boxing coach or if he did, he wasted his time.

Sometimes he throws strange combinations that actually work for him but wouldn't work in boxing....like he'll leap in with lead right uppercuts and torque into a left hook or some fucked up shit BUT he'll end up with his man against the cage and clinch

It's all about opening up your strength....Khabib knows how to do that at least

 

[ianferguson]

Exactly.

This isn't a boxing match and with the threat of the TD Khabib's striking is very effective.
