Khabib the weight bully

[AlanGregson]

So i actually took the time to look at some size comparissons of khabib and his opponets, acording to sherdog khabib is twice the size of any other lw, so lets take a look...










Wow... now isnt that something, it's almost like khabib's about the same size as most people on the lw roster. On a more serious note, dont pay too much attention to walk around weights, some people have the tendency to ballon up in weight, a lot of wrestlers get pretty heavy when they're not on a diet. Khabib said he walks around at 185, thats a slightly chubby 185, im same height as him, weigh about 178 and i carry more muscle mass than him, just dont put on as much fat, what matters is how much they weigh when they're inside the cage and for the most part he weights about the same as everyone else, he's simply better at wrestling than any lw on the roster, deal with it.

Khabib is an average sized LW who fought bigger guys in that division.

Wanna talk about oversized LWs? Tony Ferguson... Dude walks around at 200lbs

200lbs!? No way, Tony always looks pretty lean in those "don't try this at home" training videos he posts.

Khabib also has a 70 inch reach. He doesn't have an advantage anywhere at LW. He dominates purely because of skill.

 

[Anonymusblackstar]

Khabib himself said that after weigh-in he gained 12 kg.

khabib was 3 times the size of conor !!

acording to sherdog khabib is twice the size of any other lw.

Nah, according to conor nut huggers he is.

But anyone with objective eyes can see the dude is simply not a "big" LW like a kevin lee or a felder who are really big for the division. Even Islam makhachev is bigger than khabib, but no one complain because the dude is not as dominant as khabib.

On the other hand khabib is clearly bigger than a gillepsie or a michael johnson, but those guys shouldn't be in the LW division in my opinion but rather in FW.

He said that and posted photo on the scale back in the day

yes but just like khabib or poirier ( who said being 185 or even sometimes 190 lbs out of camp ) , tony just get fat between camps, he is most likely 170-175 lbs on fight night.

 

[AlanGregson]

You took time did you? Clearly not very much thought however. Quality over quantity my desperate friend

The thought was that he's about the same size as everyone else, you have a different prespective, feel free to share it.

I've often wondered why he's dead against WW, we know he struggles to make 155.

 

[YourBoss]

WTF is wrong with you???? You take pics from the fucking weigh ins? Of course he is their size at the weigh ins. Take a wild guess. Everyone is 155 lbs "big" at the Lightweight weighins. Everyone is 170 lbs at the 170 lbs weighins.At the ceremonial weigh ins, they have already put on soom size via rehydration, but its still no accurate indicator.
I dont care about weightbullying. As long as you can make weight, you are good to fight at the weightclass. But your logic is flawed.
You have to take the faceoffs in the octagon on fightnight as comparison. And khabib seems to be bigger than most of his opponents. Theres a reason he has missed weight a couple of times.

looks a lot bigger around the core.

 

[Positive Friend]

That's the best way to hate on him. It is hard for haters to accept how good he is so this is their go to excuse. Khabib would get dwarfed at WW by most. He is in the right weight class.

...im same height as him, weigh about 178 and i carry more muscle mass than him...

Pics or it didn’t happen.

And now Conor is fighting a WW. Conor is always fighting monsters. Who else is willing to fight such huge guys now that BJ got beat up by that bouncer?

Khabib is not huge for LW, its just a myth by haters. Some people really believe he is well over 200 ibs LMAO. He just looks like a very normal sized LW, he is bigger than some LW's, but smaller than other LW's.. and most he is about the same size as.

its his skill, talent and fight IQ and amazing mental strength that is 99% the reason for his wins...

 

[Iron Skin]

How in the hell will Barboza will make 145lbs

I've often wondered why he's dead against WW, we know he struggles to make 155.

Because he's not WW. Dustin Poirier also says he struggles to make 155, even Conor apparently now says he's too big for 155, are you going to say they are also ducking 170 ? I never hear anyone talk about Paul Felder, Kevin lee being too big for 155.
Weight classes are here for a reason. Khabib is not big or powerful enough to strive at 170. He's a normal 155'er.
