Media Khabib: ''GSP is a little bigger than me but I've better wrestling''

[Topher]

How many top 10 fighters has Islam faced? Yeah, that might explain the difference right there. But, you know that context matters. You just choose to ignore it when it suits your purpose.

haha. GSP faces Fitch, Shields, Kos x2, Hendricks, Hughes x3 and has exceptional TDD defense. He also faced more top 10 fighters and his opposition has a way better combined record than Khabibs. But yes Islam against low ranked opposition is far more impressive!!

Can we end this ''Khabib was a big LW, natural WW nonsense''?

Do you guys think Khabib is lying about this, after his retirement and when we know they aren't going to fight already? Why Khabib would lie about this that we know they aren't going to fight and he has no desire to fight anymore?

I could agree, Khabib had trouble with cutting weight, like DC, that doesn't mean he is big, it means he is just a little fat, like DC was for 205.

Another thing is, look at Khabib's reach;

It's shorter than Featherweight Volkanovski.

Look at GSP's reach, it's gigantic reach compared to Khabib's reach.

Another evidence is that Khabib was never that big inside the octagon, he wasn't even a top biggest size LWs on his era;

They said Khabib was never one of the biggest LWs inside the octagon;

at least 3 times the size but if gsp cuts height instead of weight it should be fair

 

[Topher]

Khabib is x2 Combat Sambo World champion, what kind of fighters do you think Khabib faced there? Strikers? He become the champ amongst the wrestlers.

Shalorus was a wrestler competed at Olympics.
Trujillo was also a wrestler.
RDA is a wrestler that choked out Kevin Lee.

Khabib wrestled with bigger guys than GSP;


Khabib beats no.1 ranked wrestlers;

lol he cheated against a teenager these sparring videos mean nothing this is literally every gym. DC even calls him out for doing dirty shit to avoid getting taken down clean in wrestling rules. Even female fighters get to practice on larger guys going at a proper percentage. Khabib is never winning grappling against Luke or DC 100% effort.

 

[removeinfo001]

Pretty delusional. Gets outwrestled by Tibau thinks he's a better wrestler than GSP

So I guess you need roids to "challenge" Khabib.

I don't understand how people holding to this tibau fight, at least watch the fight and see who won.


Khabib pressured non stop and was giving all the action.

 

[Reign009]

That was your motive for posting this? Lol, wtf.

Thought we were gonna compare their grappling.

 

[2432sj]

It’s pretty simple. Great bigger guy beats great smaller guy.

Kha-Slob the can crusher would be soundly trounced. The all male audience back home would have the mega sads.

 

[Sting in Steel Underoos]

GSP got outwrestled by a D1 can in Hendricks. Khabib throws D1 cans out of the octagon and would make GSP tap to GnP again.

Khabib would get jabbed into a living death. His standup up is horrendous.

“Can we end this ''Khabib was a big LW, natural WW nonsense''?”

Khabib has 11 WW fights

1 CW fight missing weight against Trujillo

1 CW fight because he was going to miss weight and having a bad cut but fighting a replacement (Horcher) allowed them to negotiate CW.

Missed weight a few times (the CW above and not making it to the scales against Tony)

Had scalegate / people questioning him making weight in recent fights

Offically 13/29 fights weren’t LW so yes he’s 100% WW capable

45% of his fights tell us otherwise

Was he mw champ like GSP?

 

[taxevader86]

A prime Gsp will make Khabib look foolish, Khabib can't win without his takedowns and clinch control in the fence.

 

[WHITELIONBAR]

It’s pretty simple. Great bigger guy beats great smaller guy.

this. only exception is excellent small guy ( a holyfield ) beats a great big guy

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Hespetch to Gay-chee for coming in on fight-night at 165lbs

 

[Topher]

Imagine being so stupid you make a thread and argue someone’s reach dictates weight class.

BRB making threads to get confirmation bias validation that Rampage 73 inch reach, Crocop 73 inch reach DC 72 inch, Randleman 70 inch and Mark Hunt 72 inch reach are really FW-WW because of their arms.

Mike Tyson 5’10 71 inch reach. It’s weight class WEIGHT CLASS not height class or reach class or body fat percentage class........

 

[Sweater of AV]

Same size.

 

[JKS]

GSP 50-42

 

[Ackmed]

I meant Tibau. Smarten up.

Tibau got KO'd by Islam

 

[hoevan]

-That was Young inexperienced Khabib vs. Prime Tibau, Khabib was only in his second UFC fight.
-Tibau was definitely bigger than Khabib inside the octagon.
-Tibau has GOAT TDD percentage %92, GSP has only %83 TDD percentage.
-Young Khabib controlled Tibau over 4 minutes, Tibau controlled Khabib for only 17 seconds. Young inexperienced Khabib outwrestled Prime GOAT TDD Tibau, and beat him.

Experienced Champ Khabib definitely controls GSP, and outwrestles him.

Statistics don't tell the whole story. Tibau didn't fight multiple time All-American wrestlers repeatedly either.

koscheck x2
Hughes x3
Hendricks
Fitch
Huron
Hell even Alves and Penn may not have been wrestling champions, but they're takedown d at the time was very respectable.

Well, at least we know you've devolved into a full blown troll at this point. Good stuff.

 

[Argonaut]

Prime GSP at 170 beats a Khabib going up to 170.

Old 40 yr old GSP loses to Khabib going down to 155

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

He'd outwrestle GSP now..

GSP of say UFC 100.. I think Khabib is on his back for 25 minutes..

It'd be competitive but GSP probably edges him out
