Media Khabib's training camp | weight cut episode

[Habib The Eagle]

Yeah, can never break him in the octagon at 155 but he's too scared to go up to 170 and not have to deal with the weight cut to 155. He's cleared out 155, yet he won't go up to 170 to really test himself. And if he really wanted that GSP fight, he wouldn't need GSP to go down to a weight GSP has never fought at before. He would go up to 170 and fight GSP there.

All the tales going around of Khabib dominating guys bigger than him in practice, yet he kills himself to make 155? It's very contradictory. If he dominates guys that fight at 185 in training, going to 170 shouldn't be a problem. He's retiring at his physical prime instead of going up to 170. On top of that, claiming he fights for legacy and not going up to fight GSP at GPS's weight class? He can cement a true legacy if he clears out 2 weight classes. Khabib's the Floyd Mayweather of MMA.

Great counter argument. I see your point. I'm surprised you got that out of your mouth with it all full of Khabib's dick and all. It shows talent on your part.

I'll no longer reply to you until you can come up with a counter argument, not just insults.

Also, Conor, who I'm sure you hate, had to guts to fight at 3 different weight classes. He killed himself to make 145, fought at a more reasonable 155, and then had the guts to fight at 170.

Has Khabib done that? He hasn't even gone up to 170 to fight a journeyman like Diaz.

Take Conor's nuts out your mouth and thanks for salting my steak. Fighting a 155 Nate Diaz or Cowboy at 170 is NOT brave, he went 1-1 with the gate keeper. For some reason he doesn't fight Masvidal though...

Why does everything have to be about Conor? Yes i dont like Conor but hes amazing fighter and also shut the fuck up. Clearly you are stupid as fuck.

Again, has Khabib even done that? Has he even tested the waters at 170?

Conor still has a better record at 170 than Khabib. Oh yea, and he's never pulled out of a fight due to a weight cut like Khabib.

I don't see Khabib volunteering to take on Masvidal.

 

[Paolo Delutis]

Let's be real, Tony is like 175 lean max. Hence why he fights at 155 (water cuts and then rehydrates 15-25 pounds like most fighters). If you are 175 lean stop dieting for a few months, weigh yourself in clothes and after a full day of eating and you will be "walking around at 200 pounds" but in shape morning weight and he's more 170-180 which is why he fights at 155.

180lbs or 175lb ferg could do well at WW IMO no big weight cut necessary cuz his style isnt about overpowering guys anyways..and he would be faster and better cardio then the bigger guys


Im opposed to big weight cutting i think its counter productive for MMA ...and is shorting guys careers...plus for me if your relying on your weight to be the reason your winning fights ..you may need to be working on other stuff instead of managing weight all camp

As a martial artist and aspiring fighter myself i would Never want to cut more then 10lbs for a fight max...5 to 8 would be ideal ..this way i can spend more time in camp preparing technique then simply putting time in for weight losS

welterweight is 156.1 to 171 lbs

Touche. He fought above 155, but why was it a catchweight? Because Khabib couldn't make 155?

It's still not 170 and it's Darrell Horcher. Horcher is bush leagues at best. Nate Diaz is a world beater compared to Horcher.

 

[Deleted member 571517]

I'm glad I'm not a fighter. Weight cutting sucks.

Having mumps
Broken toe
Death of of main coach and father
All in all terrible camp
Horrible weight cut

But still able to perform like that against Division 1 wrestler-brawler in Gaethje. It's Khabib's best performance to date, better than when he fought Poirier, Conor, Al, Barboza, Johnson, RDA, etc.

You seem to be implying that Khabib's a boastful hypocrite when he's clearly stated that 170 would be too tough for him and that guys there would be bigger and stronger. Look at any interview he's done where he's asked about it. Even in regards to GSP he's said, that GSP would have the advantage on him in 170. His huggers on the other hand...sure.

Sorry, I've never seen any interview where he said or even implied that. If he has, then I rest my case.

And as you said, his huggers on the other hand......

Conor went up to 170 to fight 155ers for non-title fights because it would be inconsequential if he loses.

I mean if Khabib can technically "move up to 170" and fight Justin Gaejthe, but what would be the point of that

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

It really is a farce. The advantages of extreme weight-cutting are probably far greater than PEDs are against an opponent. And on top of that, arguably more dangerous for the person doing it.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Some of these fighters, I'd argue the majority of them would get bodied if they fought at their natural weight class. Tony for example walks around 200

Gunnar comes to mind. Technical wizard who cuts no weight, and has left people thinking he's just not impressive at his weight class

Pretty sure Diaz and Cowboy have way more fights at LW then they do WW.

So if Khabib fought Gaethje at 170 he would be much more proven in your eyes?
LMFAO

Haha the dudes real intentions came out, he's just a delusional Conrat!

He has said this multiple occasions. Even his dad said he should go up and best the ww and/or gsp. He laughed it off and said no. The power nor his attributes, he doesn't feel like can translate over. I think he can beat a few guys in the top ww. Usman is a tough out. He has over twenty pounds on him.
