Khabib cuts on average 37 pounds to make LW, how would he fare against the WW top 5?

[Space Dog]

LMFAO, he needs to be careful of Cowboys BJJ but steamrolls Maia? also Robbie is known as the Anti wrestler in 170

That's why Tony is his nightmare. Tony never ever stops coming at you. Great ground game and weird, yet effective striking. That 37 pound cut will suck in round 4 and 5 with Tony..

 

[DanAndroid]

He would get smashed. People cut huge amounts because they can't compete. Weight classes serve zero purpose, the sport is not fair competition.

 

[Unfinished Sentenc]

I feel like his style relies on having strength advantage and he would lose

 

[The XL]

Zero chance in hell Khabib cuts almost 40lbs. He might cut 20-25lbs tops

 

[DatSamboKid]

Khabib's tougher matchups are definitely at WW.

 

[the dutch guy]

Nr1 bs

 

[VAfan]

if he cleans out LW, there's a good chance we'll see him try it. would love to see it, see if that grappling works against the bigger dudes.

People have no fuckibg clue what cutting weight is. If you think khabib cuts 37 pounds I got a bridge to sell you

 

[MileHigher]

So Tony cutting 50 plus lbs to you is he just a pure bitch?????????

You think any fighter cuts 50 plus pounds? How old are you?

Agreed. Posted a thousand times that losing fat during training and cutting water weight before weigh ins are two totally separate things, but somehow these shit posts continue to confuse the two.

This thread needs to be updated

C. Usman, 50-45s Khabib
1. Colby, 50-45s Khabib
2. Woodley, 50-45s Khabib
3. Edwards, 50-45s Khabib
4. Masvidal, Khabib wins 50-45

Khabib beats Edwards and Colby fairly convincingly. Woodley and Usman embarrass him unfortunately.

Colby's cardio is too good, Khabib would be gassed after 2 rounds

have you ever wrestled? People always reference the difference between their walk around weight and wrestling weight as their cut amount

 

[slicebergjim]

Khabib's a pretty small dude. Any source that confirms that he cuts 37 pounds? I'd be pretty shocked if that was true.

He’s taller than conor and we all know conor is 6 ft 6

Hard disagree. Khabib has never gassed out. He conserves his energy in the third which is fine because Colby has very little chance of stopping him. Even if he takes off for a round he's shown that he can finish hard.

Khabib takes him down and wins 3/5 rounds in a back and forth fight.

If a guy has to cut 37 pounds to be competitive...Then that says all I need to hear about how he would fair with bigger/stronger competition.lol

What would you say to WW Anthony Johnson?

 

[boingyman]

The only thing that needs to be compared in terms of weight is their weight at the weigh-ins versus their weight when they step into the cage.

That's idiotic and simply shows a disdain for mathematics. If one starts training at 20% body fat, the other at 15%, but both enter fight week at 12%, then the walk around weight was completely irrelevant

that's just how it is. you have to lose the weight either way
