Khabib had never a victory as shocking as Chimaev at 308

[ILove4MinutesHyuna]

Khabib also never had a victory as shocking as Chimaev over Burns

 

[mixmastermo]

Conor was beating up khabib on the feet

He was winning until he lost?

 

[mjfan23]

Khamzat would crush Khabib. The size difference would be the same as putting Khamzat against Jon Jones. Unfair.

Khamzats arrival is what made jones run to HW and have aleast a divison or two of buffer between and khamzat

Conor was beating up khabib on the feet

How, Khabib knocked him down in the second and he never cut him or landed clean? (maybe I am forgetting something) Khabib has never even bleed in the ring. Khamzat vs Present day Khabib would be an amazing fight, Khabib walks around at 180+ and still trains so it could happen. lol

 

[seanb1979]

Kamaru kicked Chimaev ass? What fight did you see? lol

Kamaru performance was one the most overrated that I've seen, he basically only could throw jabs on Khamzat and people treat this like Chima was really in trouble being punished

iirc kamaru won the 3rd round and if that fight was 5, he likely takes it

 

[AdamWarlock]

the only reason khamzat win this fight would be size advantage
khabib is p4p the better fighter, fighting opponents of similar sizes khabib never lost a round never had a scratch
khamzat struggled against smaller opponents in burns and usman

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Khabibs ground and pound

 

[loisestrad]

khabib never lost a round

Actually, he lost two - vs Mcgregor and Gaethje.

 

[Adamant]

Khabib last three victories were impressive, but not shocking IMO. Conor, Poirier and Gaethje were not even as difficult to submit as Whittaker

Conor got submitted by Nate
Poirier got submitted by Charles and Islam
Gaethje got submitted by Charles

I think the only advantages of Khabib on Khamzt is his cardio and IQ fight
Khabib bjj is better but Chimaev is way more dangerous in striking

If they fought at 77 kg would be absolutely insane

Cool fight but I actually think Khamzat takes it fairly easily. I don't see Khabib ragdolling Khamzat like he does to most everyone else. If Khabib fought Khamzat, it would look like the Tibau fight, only worse for Khabib.

 

[AdamWarlock]

ehh, arguably

 

[loisestrad]

ehh, arguably

Factually, if we're going by the scorecards which seems the reasonable thing to do.

If we're not going by the official scores, a lot of people had Khabib losing the fight vs Tibau.

 

[Iroh]

To outgrapple Hughes and Penn was definitely more impressive than outgrapple Conor, Dustin and Gaethje lol

And Shields, Fitch, Kosheck and Diaz.

Yeah, but those were his 11th and 13th pro fights. You know who Khabib was fighting in his 11th and 13th fight?

And for fun, Khamzat might very well fight DDP for the title in his 15th fight. Khabib was fighting a guy that was 0-0 in his 15th fight...

 

[Poirierfan]

Khabib, lounging leisurely in the back of every MMA fan's mind.

It's Six Degrees of Khabib every damn time in here.

I'm a big fan of Khabib's, him getting under poeple skin just confirms I'm on the right track.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

Bro you can't criticise Khabib's record lol.

He only fought killers (no cans).

Yes, other people have beaten Poirier, Gaethje, Conor and so on.
But when Khabib did it it was different, for... erm... reasons.

GOAT, best to ever do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuck the scorecards and Definitely fuck a lot of people

 

[TerrorTimmy]

Khamzat submitted a guy known for his striking lol. I love Whittaker but he's lost in brutal fashion before a couple of times.

Khamzat hasn't had a win as shocking as Masvidal flying knee lol. What's shocking about a grappler/wrestler subbing a striker?

Take your head out of your ass.

Yeah the only grappler he faught was glieson and he arguably lost.

 

[contrail]

I felt the same lack of surprise when Khabib subbed those guys as I did when Khamzat subbed Whittaker. Wouldn't call any of these finishes "shocking".

 

[KamalaForever]

Hey let's not get sacrilegious
