Its becoming pretty obvious..

Its going to take a big damn punch to put Khabib down. He ate big kicks the leg, body, and head tonight.. and didnt look fazed.

He took some clean bombs from Michael Johnson too.

Hes also shown a huge improvement in his control.

When he first came to the ufc he broke records for takedowns... now he lands one takedown a round and much higher level fighters cant get up

His ground and pound has to be the best in the world now. Huge improvement. Accurate, powerful, relentless.

Goat level stuff from Khabib
 
His defense is solid too. If people actually bothered to watch the MJ fight instead of regurgitating talking points, you'd see he blocked most of MJ's punches with his arm and gloves.

In the Barboza fight, i got worried in the 2nd and 3rd however, because he started keeping his hands low. But he still blocked most of his kicks and the couple that landed he barely felt it, same as the MJ fight. Surprised Rogan didn't let out a "he's hurt right now!"...
 
Nothing has changed for me

Khabib beats Conor
Tony beats Khabib
Conor beats Tony

They all wreck everyone else at LW
 
Khabib did the Stanky Legg when he got hit by Johnson, but took Barbosa's punches well. Johnson was coming forward with his shots and Barbosa was moving away so that probably had something to do with it. Either way, if you don't put his lights out with a shot, you're going to get taken down and beaten up. Khabib DID seem to get winded though.
