Media Myth : Khabib a natural WW, a huge LW ...nope.

[BalloonFoot]

"massive" huh?
A reminder that massive idiots and trolls exist, that's what you are

Just because someone misses weight doesn't mean they are massive. Seems like a lot of fighters have shit diets, which is the main problem. Cutting 15 lbs in a week is vastly different than cutting 15 lbs over a month. Khabib isn't a big LW, and you are right those that think he is a WW are fuckin stupid, massively. Khabib seems like DC in that he has a shit diet and just doesn't do that great of a weight cut for fights. We would have a much better picture if the UFC would jump in the 21st century and take body fat measurements just prior to the weigh in (literally within a hr of it) or just after they weigh in. THIS would be the only way to tell. You can look a person's ab and rib area to see how much fat they actually have. Khabib is never as cut as many of these other massive weight cutters.

These same people also say that DC would die if he had to cut weight down to MW, lol. DC is a fatass who likes to eat more than to fight. DC absolutely could make MW if he had a proper diet, maybe even WW.

 

[Maripucci]

His first 16 fights were at WW.
<45>

This is Khabib at 24 years of age having his first training session at AKA. At that age, men are at least at the last part of body development.


Now tell me, does that body look WW level to you? Guy looks like any natural LW around.

Umm have you seen his recent pictures lol?

You pretty much confirmed it...
He is a natural WW or even could do MW if he bulked up.

He looks bigger than DC. Except without the body fat.

So yeah, he does look bigger than 155. And DC looks smaller than 205.

Fact.

Oh totally, DC could cut down to 155 if not for the body fat. Like wtf, do you know what a fact is? Just because you believe it doesn't make it a fact. Derrick Lewis is smaller than Khabib except for the body fat, fact. Derrick Lewis & DC could both make 155 because I said so. Fact. This is 1 of the most WTF posts I've seen on here, & that's saying a lot

Wow, triggered by facts huh. No arguments just whining. Moron

 

[abject]

Conor was massive at FW just like Khabib is massive at LW, difference is Conor actually made weight each time

agreed. Khabib nuthuggers cant fact facts that he struggled to make weight everytime and actually failed to make weight vs gaedthe.

 

[brownsmith76]

Khabib does not walk around at 155 pounds.

He has a large chin, large neck, and strong forearms for grip.

If you think he has 0 physical advantages in grappling, then you are just trying to make him look better as a fighter who can still win with an "average body".

 

[markg171]

He literally fought his whole career at WW before coming to the UFC, and then repeatedly struggled/failed to make LW there.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

So a tweet is proof?

And his estimation of what he thinks Khabib weighs later on is kinda all over the place. Could be 176-178-180 from 180-182-184. Not sure how much difference there really is then.

But at least it seems he used to be really big for a LW and then maybe a little less. Overall he isn't small by any means.

You intentionally quoted an old comment by Josh so I brought on multiple more recent sources where he says otherwise. And the tweet was by his then nutritionist after the commission checked his weight.

Khabib and Josh both say 174-176 on multiple occasions.

Nobody at 155 or 145 walk around at 155. Bantamweights walk around at 155.

Yet Poirier continues to comment how Khabib isn't really particularly that strong. His grappling, according to a person who actually got in there and fought him, is based on advanced awareness of balance and positioning, not strength.

 

[kingmob6]

Why did he miss weight vs Gaedthe. Watch the video on youtube. He was over. He's fortunate in that hes massive for the division. It helps with his game as well.

stop making shit up. he didn't miss anything.

Poirier didn't test or measure Khabib's bench press or squat.

Khabib wasn't going at 100% power, but he does chain wrestling with endurance.

Look how big Khabib's back looks compared to Poirier. His forearms look bigger in this picture, as well.

Saying, "He has just an average body", is inaccurate.

 

[shoshaf]

To the idiots that think Khabib was one of the biggest LWs. Watch his fight with Healy and come back to me. Healy should be getting 30 threads a day for how much he used to cut considering how much Khabib gets. Also, Khabib's diet got better, you can tell throughout his LW championship run.

Jesus son. If you are going to acuse someone of something at least spend some time trying to get it right. Here ill help you out as you need some help.

It's weird because i'm wearing the same rash guard he has on in that video

 

[MEAN357]

To be fair, Colby doesn't cut much weight, walks around at 181:

Hahahaha the depths to which you're willing to go with this idiotic crusade is impressive.
