Media "Khabib won the most 10-8 rounds in history"

[HHJ]

I mean, I remember the GSP/Anderson debates. GSP won more rounds. But Anderson didn't care about winning rounds because he finished fights.

It's really just preference. Just like every "goat" conversation. The criteria is just personal preference.

Khabib is an example of crotch sniffing, asking with gsp. Where as Anderson and jds are shining examples of fighting like men and going for the finish at all costs

Khabib liked to play with his food. He's stated several times that there is nothing more satisying than breaking his opponents round after round.

Like his match with Trujillo. Trujillo thought his american wrestling credentials could stand up to Khabib and they almost came to blows in the weigh in, and Khabib rode him like a donkey for 5 rounds, "Let's wrestle!"

So if other fighters had badly hurt their opponents but decided not to finish them maybe they could have the most 10-8 rounds?

Not really. Their grappling and wrestling is zero. So they can't do that

Khabib finished 3 top 5 p4p fighters in a row as his title defenses before retiring. He was only becoming more invincible.

This means on top of having:

- the highest fight win rate percentate in the UFC,
- highest round win rate % in the UFC
- and the most td's in a single fight
- Khabib also has the record for out and out 10-8 domination

While Jones was picking his shots getting close decisions in 10-9 rounds, Khabib was mauling his opponents to the point where he was granted 10-8 rounds, while testing clean.

So while Jones might have the better resume, round for round, Khabib was statistically the best fighter.

GOAT gonna GOAT and haters gonna MOAN.

Khabib had run as Champ while his Dad was still around, father plan became Khabib’s it was always implied that he hand the baton to Islam. The guy accomplished the objective and moved on, people who have never even watched his actual run done know he molested grown me.

That's ok. I bet some of those guys, like barboza was just praying it would end soon. Please God khabib just put me in a choke.

I felt bad for Barboza, four months after the Khabib fight he got an even worse beatdown from Kevin Lee who eventually put him out of his misery in the fifth round.

Khabib softened him up

 

[Mammothman]

Half a decade and this Khabib guy is still the most talked fighter ever.

It's unfortunate that when you look at the resume and not just the record, that ''dominance'' isn't all that impressive

Anyone can look dominant and rack up 10-8 rounds fighting uber drivers and stylistically favorable matchups, the only true elite win he has is RDA, a fight where he didn't get a 10-8

The two fights that would've challenged him the most (prime Tony and Charles) didn't happen

Islam has already challenged himself a lot more than Khabib and fought significantly better competition, and has looked more devastating doing so

Khabib only could beat whoever they put in front of him.. which he did.

BTW.. I'm sure he is devastated knowing that you don't find him impressive.

Preach

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Khabib lost to Tibau, fought shitty competition and quit before having a great resumé.

Dagestani Derangement Syndrome be so strong and the ailed hurt so bad they start saying stuff like this

pity

Might want to see a psychiatrist about that

wtf jones has like 17 title figh victories
im not even adding the first title fight he won outside the UFC

winning 17 title fights is harder when literaly all fighters in a division is studying you

 

[Ginja_Ninja]

Barboza started the fight 10-8,10-8.... Still went to a decision and looked like this after?

This is the damage that 2 10-8 rounds did? 10-8's should be 100% based on damage done not amount of time stalled.

 

[Fight Professor]

Judges almost never scored rounds 10-8 under old rules. Look at the Bader/Perosh scores which was the definition of 1-sided beating https://mmadecisions.com/decision/4737/Ryan-Bader-vs-Anthony-Perosh. And GSP has 4 or 5 of them.

Khabib quit when the days of fighting guys like Horcher and Healy were over. As soon as he knew it was only facing top contenders and good fighters left, he bounced. Khabib fought cans the first half of his career, and really only faced a handful of decent fighters. P4P is purely a mythical metric. And a champion beating top contenders isn't newsworthy, it's his job.

Khabib leaves us with unanswered questions, just like Jones does.

Ali Bagov and Eldar Eldarov could have beaten the Aquinta, Fighter Kevin Lee, Dan Hooker, Cerrone type of guys

You can't get 10-8s for finishes.
