Is Khabib a TRUE fighter?

[Bend NvR Break]

Lhabibs been fighting his whole life. Alot of these guys who push on way past tbeir primes dont do it cus they love it they do it for the pay

I think there is something to this. I think they really do love fighting which is why they do it but on the flip side fighting is the only way they know how to make real money so they are indirectly forced to continue fighting whether they destroy they're legacy in the process or not.

 

[El Fernas]

He stopped Conor and went after the guy that was talking shit to him while still in the cage, what do you think??

 

[MisterWillis]

He wasn't born the conventional way, he smeshed his way out of the womb.

 

[johncola]

I explained.

If you did, it'd be known what the fuck you're on about. Unless you choose to man up, it seems that "GSP definitely isn't a true fighter in the sense TS is talking about. And we knew that well before he retired." Maybe you got some cool info that disproves that notion, but it doesn't seem like it.

Khabib retiring at his peak at the age of 32 while guys like Penn and Anderson refuse to hang it up in their 40's while having no business being in there...? Before you bring up his parents, this was the plan from the very beginning for Khabib. 30-0 and Lightweight champion was the end-goal regardless.

Obviously a once in a lifetime fighter, but not a FIGHTER FIGHTER. He was bred for this. Compare him to a guy like McGregor who is also 32 years of age, has it all, has done it all, yet he's still on the grind looking to go on another legendary run. McGregor CHOSE this life. We're talking about a NATURAL-BORN fighter vs a bred fighter.

That isn't necessarily a bad thing, but I feel like possessing the fighter spirit is under-acknowledged and underappreciated compared to the accolades. McGregor accepting his toughest match-up after becoming rich rich is deserving of more praise than Khabib's submission victory and a prime example of what a born fighter looks like.

dude, you’re retarded. you went through all that trouble to prove us how dumb you are

Most attempts at defining what a "true" anything are obnoxious, and this OP fits right in with that.

That being said...I'd agree that Khabib doesn't seem to be the type who is inwardly compelled to fight. Who'd be doing it whether or not there was a paycheck or accolade involved. You call that "warrior spirit"; I call it an insurance that we won't be reading about an arrest at a Dagestani nightclub (if they even have those) in the future.

Personally I value the fighting achievements of those not driven to fight more, not less. Because it's a deliberate choice, not simply the overflow and channeling of somebody's temper.

This isn't true and Khabib has stated it in interviews. He was offended when Ferguson brought up street fighting and Khabib actually got upset with what Ferguson said, Khabib said he has fought a lot in the streets and it's very common coming from where he is from. Remember this is the same Khabib that attacked Conor's team after the fight, and also was involved in brawls with the Diaz brothers.

Both McGregor and Khabib are true fighters.

Ts should have titled this thread “I love Conor’s basketballs in my mouth”

 

[Limeade]

No true scotsmen fallacy

It's not that hard to understand.

No. He's a fucking landscape gardener.

I don't know so much about Khabib as you and defer to your greater wisdom. But he still may be someone who though not adverse to turn to fighting in situations, may not go and and look for a fight just for the pleasure of it. Or if he did, did it more in his youth when blood runs hotter.

I agree 100%. Main reason why I can't put him in the GOAT conversation.
