Media Khabib binge-watch brought to you by the UFC!

[Dirty Frank]

Khabib fight marathon per official UFC YouTube page.

God I love watching sheer excellence and success personified! Loved by many, and hated by a good number as well (a few of whom will gladly scavenge for ANYTHING to discredit the guy), Khabib to me is the epitome of willpower, mental toughness and perspicacity both in and out of the cage. One of the GOATS, and certainly - to me - the GOAT at handling a career that has extended well beyond fighting!

Enjoy, Shermanos! And you can seethe and writhe and wail and moan in here, too, haters and detractors alike!

The Bathtub Brigade doth not mind!

GOAT argument aside, he was simply the most dominant we have ever seen.

Yes this is undisputed.

Khabib making a comeback confirmed?

 

[Espresso]

As say this as a hater and a fan

It sucks he retired so early

 

[Blastbeat]

whoever's been put in charge of the UFC's Youtube channel is really killing it lately. lots of long form, quality videos. they did the same for DJ's fights.

i approve! also i have been a Khabib fan ever since i saw the guy. great fighter. some of the most suffocating wrestling control MMA has ever seen. solid fuckin chin too, he took shots from Gaethje, McGoober, Dustin and many others, all while keeping composure.

Khabib making a comeback confirmed?

He recently had to pay $3.5M in taxes to Russian government so it is not impossible.

 

[VinceArch]

He scorched the asses of so many leprechauns, it was phenomenal.

Omfg that finish of Tavares. Poor guy. They could’ve stopped that 6 elbows ago. Brutal mauling.

To fight who? Shavkat?
Maybe just to melt down Topuria cause of what he’s saying to Islam. My god the fucking beat down he would lay on Topuria.

 

[RiseAboveHat]

Perfect cure for insomnia. Guy was dominant but I have zero desire to go back and watch many of his fights

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Tagging @D 1 Wrestler since he is a massive fan of Khabib and dagestani crew.

Shavkat or another WW like Leon would be great.

 

[MarioLemieux]

He's a much better fighter than Islam.

Islam may have more polished striking but what made Khabib dominate so much was his top control. Islam struggles with top control and is a bit chinny as we've seen him get ko'ed and get in some dog fights.

I think it's Khabib > Usman = Umar > Islam

Usman and Umar also have weaker grappling than Khabib too but they keep themselves safe with a high level kick game keeping guys at distance. Islam fights in the pocket too much with dangerous boxing sequences.

Not so sure about GOAT status, but in his prime he was probably the best LW ever. Kind of like prime Cain Valasquez...the best ever, for a short time.

For me the elusive concept of GOAT involves some longevity. Cain didn't pull that off and Khabib chose (wisely IMO) not to continue fighting.

Khabib should get an honorable mention in any GOAT discussions for good decision making.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

Didn't watch, but does it include his historic wins over Al "The World Beater" Iaquinta, Michael "22 wins 19 losses" Johnson or Pat "Been Finished 13 Times" Healy?

Not hating (genuinely), I'm just curious lads.

Hit me up yeah?

Top already has objectively better wins than him lol.
The game has passed him by.

Shouldn't have retired so early if he wanted to be a GOAT, Connie and Dustin ain't gonna cut it my man.
They just ain't.

Well at least you have paddy pimblett to guide the quality of your credibility

I don’t think usman even belongs in that drawing of likeness. These mountain goat men are something different that you can’t make in a cushy suburb.

He's definitely more dominant as a fighter but Islam has a dog in him that Khabib didn't. Islam likes the fight.
