Missing Khabib

[LeBron]

Is it just me or the UFC isn’t the same without Khabib? The aura that he had was something else. The anticipation of his fights, the domination, the hilarious commentary.. shit just isn’t the same. It was a dark day when he left the sport.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

You miss him fighting once a year? Fighting in Abu Dhabi?

One fighter was your ENTIRE reason for watching ANY UFC fights?

I literally don’t understand what you’re saying, alright.

 

[JustOnce]

No it's not like he fought much to begin with. And people act like he was an exciting fighter, which he was not.

And we have Islam. They are similar, not same, but Islam is just as skilled. I don't think as big or strong though.

 

[Fight Professor]

Khabib was sometimes unintentionally funny in interviews.

Islam got some unique facial expressions but he is not very entertaining.

This. What a pathetic thread. I'm glad he's gone and I'm glad people have finally wised up to the fact that his resume was insanely padded and he is not a serious GOAT candidate.

Khabib was awesome... no doubt about that...

I don't get all the Khabib hate, the guy was a straight shooter and a phenom. To each their own I guess.

 

[Baal]

I miss his interviews more than anything

Guy was a serious wisecracker, something Khumzat tries to be but never could

I think you’re reading too much into what he wrote pal. All he said is he misses Khabib and things aren’t the same. I know you have a massive hate boner for the Dagis, but you can relax.

Where did I say he was the entire reason I watch UFC? He was the best part about it though, for damn sure. You think he fought once a year because he wanted to? You think he was scared or something?

it has to do with the fact that he’s massively overrated. but he actually did ok at ufc.

 

[moosaev]

The same folks who insist that they don’t miss Khabib are also the fans who create “fighter X is already greater than Khabib” threads after every card lol.

PS…How often Khabib’s name comes up (from both fans and haters) a full 3 years after his retirement is objective proof that he’s greatly missed.

I disagree, he dominated what was given to him. I truly believe he could have done the same to any LW in history. I respect you opinion even though I disagree.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

Khabib was my Boi but the sport moves on. He left with no regrets and is happier for it

 

[bongwater]

i don't miss him! he was never any good!

There are always going to be bitchass haters whenever someone has success.
