Khabib has never fought a legitimate top 5 LW fighter

[LouisBolanos]

Because Khabib is inactive as fuck. Since July 2014 Khabib has had 4 fights.

In the same period Conor has had 9 fights: 8 in MMA fights and 1 in boxing.

Khabib is an injury and pullout merchant as a contender. Imagine him as champion. Think about how much more inactive Conor got after becoming champion, and then multiply that by 2. That's how inactive Khabib is going to become. He'll probably pull out of the fight against Conor.

 

[liljuey]

1. Khabib was hella inactive
2. How many fucking times did Khabib and TFerg try to fight? It just wasn't meant to be?
3. Pettis doesn't want any.
4. Khabib barked up the right tree in McGregor and got a fast track to greatness. Why fight anyone else at the moment?

 

[Alxair]

Pre Prime RDA

Khabib smacked him in between two 5 fight win streaks. And how is Khabib living off a fight for a decade when that fight was fought 4 years ago?
Khabib had a lot of inactivity because he had bad luck with injuries. People don't call Khabib a duck because he's always game and always wants to fight, no matter who. Conor on the other can't fight because he's pregnant.

If you want to pull of the this low IQ troll persona, at least try a little harder.

Never fought the Pettis/Melendez/Bensons/Thompsons of LW when they were on top

Khabib has NO wins over any currently ranked top 5 LWs

Khabib hasn't fought Alvarez/Porier/Nate/Gathje/Lee/Furgeson

Khabib avoided so many of the top LWs of yester-year AND TODAY

And yet people call Conor the "cherry picker" or claim Conor was "babied?"

It's amazing how sherdoggers shit on Conor yet Conor has more wins over currently ranked top 5 LWs (Alvarez and Poirier) And Conor made them look like amatures

Khabib has been living off his win over a pre-prime RDA for a decade. Conor embarresed Alvarez straight off of Alvarez actually dethroning CHAMP RDA.

LW is the deepest division in MMA history but it's honestly impressive how Khabib avoided fighting all the top LWs (minus a pre-prime RDA)

Is Khabib the LW Rousey?

Conor is the championship calibre fighter with actual championship experience

People are grossly under rating Conor here

I know the 4 times khabib vs tony didn't happen have prevented khabib from a top 5 win but when the fight was booked lhabib vs Edison was in top 5.

conor been ducking khabib since ufc 205 and he wasn't even hiding it.

 

[PROlogic]

Alvarez didn't want to fight Khabib when he was champion, it's why the UFC were able to get away with paying him such a low amount for the Conor fight. They simply threatened to give Khabib the next title shot and Eddie wanted no part of him.

Nate turned down Khabib 3 times throughout the course of his career, this is well known.

Lee was never in a position to fight Khabib; as much as I like Kevin, Khabib was already the #1 contender while Lee wasn't even in the top 10 at the time.

Ferguson pulled out of UFC 223, and Gaethje/Poirier were never in a position to challenge for the title or the #1 contender spot until Dustin beat Eddie recently.

He would've absolutely mauled Pettis when he was champion, let's not even go there. One of Pettis' main weaknesses is his takedown defense, and Khabib knows how to expoit that better than anyone.


Cliffs: Khabib has never ducked anyone, more often than not HE was the one being ducked as he was rising through the LW ranks.

I never said Khabib ducked

Calm your fanboy tits friend lol; )

Regardless of the reasons, what ever they may be, i'm just pointing out how amazing it is that Khabib has never fought any of the truly top LWs through out his career

He's literally living off his win over a pre-prime RDA

It's kind of disappointing that anyone voted your post up.

Defensive fanboys always looking to blindly exhalt and defend Khabib

It is kind of jarring how on sherdog Khabib has already been proclaimed a goat, yet someone with the elite stacked resume of Conor is constantly shitted on

I just hope when Conor smashes Khabib and makes it look easy, that you/they don't suddenly turn on Khabib and start shitting on Khabib in order to discredit Conor's win over Khabib

Continue to give Khabib praise, simply give Conor his praise for winning and being next level

 

[snackgod]

I'd just like to remind everyone that Khabib has never actually fought a legit top 5 LW fighter, while said fighter was deservedly ranked in the top 5.

He fought RDA before RDA was a top 5 guy. And Edson Barboza never should have been ranked top 5 -- Edson only got that top 5 rank because Conor, RDA, Cerrone, and Nate Diaz all left the LW division. Of course you are going to move up if 4* guys above you leave the division. The second Edson fought true top 5 fighters (Khabib, Kevin Lee), he got exposed.

I'm not denying that Khabib is a great fighter. He is without a doubt UFC championship level. However, people are acting like he could go 6-0 over the next few years fighting Conor, Tony, Poirier, Alvarez, Kevin Lee, etc. This is where I take issue with the Khabib fanboys -- the guy is totally unproven against true top 5 talent. Let's see how he handles other championship level guys, before we declare him the GOAT.

I get the all the tony vs khabib hurt khabib having any top 5 wins but to call khabib a bum isn't fair either. khabib only can rag doll the people who agree to fight him. when nate diaz eddie both didn't want any of that.

 

[ANIM4L]

Conor's been picking on FWs most of his career. He's only beaten Eddie at LW, who is about to go to the minor leagues. And Nate killed him when they first faced off.

Khabib > Conor

Goodness calm your fanboy tits friend lol; )

Haha richhhh.....in the short time that I've been on this forum, I don't think I've seen anyone nuthug a single fighter more than you lol

I’m wondering how many of the great WWs GSP never fought, the great MWs Silva never fought and the great LHWs that Jones never fought. Or even the contenders they never fought while they were champs.

Remember that time GSP came back from a possibly career ending injury and fought the interim champ AND the guy who lost the interim champ fight?

Or when Silva got bored and moved up a class just to get a fight.

Or Jones having more ex champs on his resume than maybe everybody else and making MW a division again when all the contenders were either beaten or scared to face him.

 

[PROlogic]

Conor's been picking on FWs most of his career.

And yet Conor never ever missed weight at 145

Khabib is the one who's literally almost DIED cutting to 155

Khabib has never beaten anyone his size and is a massive weight cutter who literally kills himself to fight smaller guys at 155. Just saying

Funny how Khabib never gets shit for it.

Crazy how many double standards there are against Conor

Another thing I don't get is how can any fan of LW on sherdog cheer for Khabib to beat Conor when Khabib himself said he's going to WW after?

With how inactive Khabib is, anyone who ever complained about the so called "inactivity" of Conor, also exposes themself as a double standard hypocrite for cheering for Khabib when khabib has been a million times more inactive and would make a terrible champ

Khabib is going to murder Conor.

Oct 6 cant get here fast enough.

 

[Koro]

It's gonna be a first round knockout for Conor. There's no doubt in my mind.

I have some doubts, but this is reasonably likely. People tend to forget Khabib's style of putting pressure is perfect for Conor to find his chin. He can be easily be Aldo'd.

 

[Kevster]

RDA being green as baby shit at the time of fighting Khabib is one of the biggest myths in MMA.

Smack bang in the middle of one of the most impressive win streaks in the sport.

Sorry, but you're not the first Einstein to mention this. I know you need other people to verify your theory so you'll feel more secure about a Conor Victory. I'm here to tell you that it's horse shit, Khabib has never lost a fucking fight and has faced top fighters. We all know the rankings don't mean shit anyway.

PS, Lets remember Conor only has one whole measly fight at LW.

Another PROlogic thread rimjobbing Conor folks, nothing to see here move it along.

Jones only has 4 and one of them is a MW lol

Fedor has actually beaten 7. That's quite a bit more then Jones

Regardless Jones was competing in the worst most shallow division in all of MMA. LHW and HW are the 2 worst divisions in MMA history.

It is all part of a hustle

Wrong.

The Heavyweight division in the mid-2000s (especially in PRIDE) was one of the most stacked divisions ever. Fedor, Nog, Cro Cop, Barnett, Kharitonov etc. all in their primes.

The LHW division was considered to be one of the best in the UFC until Jones showed up and laid waste to it. Now people want to apply historical revisionism and say that it was never good. The only reason why guys like Machida and Rashad moved down from their natural weight class of 205 is because they knew they had no chance against Jones.

 

[Frode Falch]

Khabib needs to fight Conor, Lee and Ferguson to prove that he is the best lightweight in the UFC today.
