Well...the way you present it, this is a serious misconception there, mate...and the Judges like the Pride guys (See Nog V Ricco). .

Yes. Way before he was even training at aka before a large step up in competition
He was 16-0, with 6 submissions and 6 KO's in the ring before he abandoned that to learn how to fight in a cage. He definitely got less violent after joining the UFC.No. Khabib's strongest asset is cagework. With no cage, his only chance at going undefeated would be pulling out of 100% of fights.

So no Gomi 2.0? dawwGomi was spotted out in Vegas getting drunk the night before the fight. He showed up hungover, swinging haymakers. Just because it was an entertaining fight doesn't mean it was Gomi at his best, not even close.
Look at the fights post Diaz, losing to Golyaev, Kitaoka and barely beating Tony Hervey. He was already declining.
It´s because some fans dont wanna understand the intricacies of details of criteria that they still doesn't even know the names of...Kind of amusing the obcession with that one fight almost 20 years latter, quite a lot of matches in the US were judging/reffing seemed to be questionable against ex Pride guys.
As said Khabib was a ring fighter at first and I suspect the Pride version would remain more focused on single leg takedowns like his earlier career. Thats part of why he struggled a bit with Tibau, he wasnt used to a fighter using the cage to block a single leg.

But that was an awful decision.
Nothing? Iron chin, ko power nothing? Gtfo lol. Not saying he would win but nothing...
Fai enough. I preferred pride. I went to a few events even. But that was an awful decision. I just think he'd have to be concerned about that if he wasn't finishing fights
Nothing that's really a threat to Khabib, his chin isn't really relevant in this fight and Khabib has an iron chin himself.
Gomi KOs his fuck ass
Yeah, he looked great in the ring against people with records like 2-5, 0-1, 3-8, 9-11 and 13-13. Is this the kind of opposition he would go up against in PRIDE?He was 16-0, with 6 submissions and 6 KO's in the ring before he abandoned that to learn how to fight in a cage.

Bushido Gomi in my opinion can beat any lightweight in history.
Sakurai was really tough as hell as well. Sakurai fought Silva and Hughes, prob the only guy to have fought those two, though I could be wrong.
It really comes down to if Khabib would beat those two because they were number 1 and number 2. I know moviated ___ is a running joke around here, but motivated Gomi and motivated Sakurai is as real as they come.
You'd have to favour Khabib to decision both, I think, but I think he could lose to both too.
His ko power and cat reflexes is a problem. You sound like a Khabib nut hugger to say nothing lol.
Are you asking if Khabib would beat up tiny Japanese 135'ers at LW?In the Pride era, with the Former Pride Roster, does Khabib go undefeated their?
What about Ali Bagov and Eldar Eldarov who both went on to become champions in ACA and BRAVE?Yeah, he looked great in the ring against people with records like 2-5, 0-1, 3-8, 9-11 and 13-13. Is this the kind of opposition he would go up against in PRIDE?
