Reminder that just because someone doesn't have a Wikipedia page, it doesn't mean they are a "can"



Eldar Eldarov: BRAVE Champion, 13-2
Ali Bagov: ACA Champion, 31-11
Shahbulat Shamhalaev: Bellator Tournament Winner: 12-3

Bonus: Ramazan Kurbanismailov was apparently a 4X Kickboxing World Champion.

How did he become a double cage warrior champ then? lol He beat someone to get double champ status. This tweet seems inaccurate lol
 
I don't care for the Conor jab, but the rest of the tweet is accurate, you can look it up yourself
Yes, but that doesn't matter to Khabib haters. As far they are concerned, they equate those guys to the guys thaat Conor beat to get his Cage warrior championships. It's kinda moot point. Sherbros, Conor fans and casual fans in general do not respect non-ufc titles. They view them as regional championships. Hell, even the fighters. Conor called Bellator a b-league iirc, and Khabib has made a similar reference when talking about Michael Chandler. Same with Islam.

If the fighters joke on non-ufc leagues, I don't expect fans to take it seriously.
 
Conor beat champions so that's wrong

The rest is legit tho (Ramazan wasn'ta world kickboxingchamp but he had some credentials regionallyI think). Khabib fought a hand full of solid dudes pre UFC.

Haters gonna hate, but this thread challenges their false notion that Khabib's pre-UFC wins were all against terrible fighters, when in fact they are better than who most other fighters beat early in their careers.
 
Tweet is misleading, they were not champions when they fought, Eldar was 0-0, Bagov 2-1, Shak 2-0, Ramazan 0-0. While Khabib was 4-0, 8-0, 7-0, and 3-0 when he fought them which is actually very good for his pre UFC padded record considering he fought debut guy when he was 14-0 among other hilarious matchmaking.

Hence "Future Champions" in the title

Khabib fought them early in his career too, 3 or 5 fight difference in experience is not bad matchmaking whatsoever. Especially as these guys have 'Proto-MMA' experience with Combat Sambo

Eldar was 1-0 and had a bunch of Sambo experience under his belt. Ramazan was 1-0 pro, 1-0 amateur, and a bunch of kickboxing fights.

But yeah later in his run it was clear they were having trouble finding guys to fight
