Media Khabib looking like a proper welterweight

[Nightwish]

It's hard to tell when he is standing alone with a bunch of punchbags.

Certified sherdogger right here.

"kHAbiB iS sO mUcH BiGgEr thAn ConOR !"

This is real size advantage, and masvidal still KO him BAD.

 

[YouCrazyIntheHeadMan]

He doesn't look like a welterweight at all, 175 lbs in shape max. There's a reason he fight at lightweight..

 

[Chael_Sonnen]

We've moved on and now we're fully on the Weidman hype train because with just one win at 205 he'll fight Jones.

HELL YES. Would that make Wiedman the GOAT killer tho? I reckon you would have to say hes top 5 GOAT if he beats jones lol.

Conor nutsuckers will apparently never get over their boy submitting to Khabib.

Hey...that was an early stoppage!

 

[kingmob6]

I think he’d be a strong belt contender.
He walks around near 2 bills. Plus he’s used to grappling with dudes and bears bigger than him, for a while now I reckon.

he walks around 180-183 lbs. Not nearly 200. He would be undersized, unless he adds some weight or muscle mass.

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

Is this where we say Khabib is a "real" welterweight, pretending that current welterweights don't also cut weight?

Khabib circa August 2019 is not an amazingly huge LW.

 

[pinero]

what about when he sit down with them?

Stop, that is lame compared with the comment

 

[suffersystem]

Khabib isn't even the biggest guy at LW though.

I thought Conor looked bigger than than kbib in that fight.

6 weeks out from UFC 219 vs Barboza.


Since then, Josh Thomson, the co-captain of Khabib's team, dropped some concerning comments regarding Nurmagomedov's weight. During an appearance on the Big Brown Breakdown, he claimed that Khabib was actually in the mid 190s around the time of Helwani's tweet and had yet to drop below 182 lbs.

Nurmagomedov shed some light on the situation during a recent social media Q & A. His message was simple, “don't believe everything you hear on the internet."

In the past he prolly walked around at around 195 to 200ish lbs tween camps.
Currently prolly lighter, I’d reckon.

 

[Brit_Brawler]

And how can we tell, really?

Look how big he looks compared to rockholds shades

 

[Uber_Noober]

All I gather from that pic is Luke covering up that retreating hair line with his hat.

I read his interviews in russian, he said that he made changes after the time where he collapsed before the fight, and most days during training he walks around 180-183 lbs. That's his words, not mine.

Thomson is not Khabib's nutritionist, his statements are worthless.

 

[mb2621]

Khabib's 10-0 with 10 finishes at WW.

Looked it up and you're right. Why does he fight at 155 if he can make 170? This is why nobody can stop his wrestling at LW.
