Media Noob take that Islam has anything on Khabib

[hbombbisping]

Knocked out by Adriano Martins, admits Khabib is better than him, coach says Islam can barely take a round off him, has been dropped several times, lost MANY more rounds, cut and mangled in numerous fights

and gone life and death with:

1. Alexander Volkanovski
2. Mansour Barnaoui
3. Dustin Poirier
4. Chris Wade
5. Arman Tsarukyan

KO'ed stiff by Adriano Martins.

All the footage we have shows Khabib beating his ass.

Being more well rounded means nothing. A lot of fighters are more well rounded but Khabib's top control , chin and fight iq is leagues higher which is why he was nigh unstoppable.

Plus he's an animal whereas Islam is merely an athlete.

I approve of this message

Nobody gives a shit, its Ank time now.

I mean i agree that Khabib is a bit better but you make it sound like Makhachev was some sort of a bum. Khabibs dominance is unmatched, he has a better chin, and better endurance. Thats it. Not much better but a little bit.

You can praise one fighter without shitting on another to prove your point. Wild idea, I know.

It's funny, because this thread is actually the noob take.

 

[imissWECPalmer]

whitebelt please.

Khabib fought a bunch of guys who just throw down and struggle against grapplers.

Islam's resume > Khabib's. Sorry kids

Volk is a better fighter than everyone Khabib beat. Ilia is as well

Real talk

Only if you think sherdog join date means you started watching at the same time. 20 years plus for me.

Plus Khabib might look unstoppable taking down 145 lb strikers but how did he look against someone his size (Tibau, who I'm not sure even has a wrestling background, just does a lot of bench press lol!).

Now imagine Khabib trying to take down Islam, it would be like trying to take down brick wall, and even if he did get him down he couldn't hold him down, considering he couldn't hold down Trujillo (because he had a NAIA level wrestling background and was actually a 155er).

So Khabib would be forced to duke it out on the feet, and we all know that won't be going well for him.

There's a reason Islam is willing to challenge himself and move up to 170 for the belt or even 185 against DDP, while Khabib demanded that GSP cut down to 155 for the first time in his career at 40 years old, because Khabib literally said otherwise he'd have to be stupid to take such a bad matchup at 170. This is all despite Khabib and GSP being virtually the same weight since GSP fought in a different era where weight cutting hadn't been quite as extreme in most cases unless you were named Rumble.

lol if you think fw Volk is better than prime RDA.

Islam lost to and had life and death fights with monsters like Chris Wade, Mansour Barnaoui and Khabib ran through prime Dustin Poirier like a buzzsaw while an older version took Islam life and death.

Khabib GOAT

[Reach4theSky]

Skill wise both are great. Islam might have the edge, but it's close. Where Khabib takes it is in pure strength and physicality. He would probably beat Islam just based off being genetically stronger with a close matching skill set..

Oh my God "prime RDA" was literally after khabib. He got better because of that fight lol. No he absolutely is not better than Volk

Dustin almost caught khabib in a guillotine so there's that. He lost to tibau and everyone who isn't a complete retard knows it. Tibau that got destroyed by Islam

Volk is absolutely better than Dustin, Cokey the Clown and Justin Gaethje

Islam resume is already better. He's fought better competition.

To judge which one is better when both of their careers are over, longevity and title defenses matter.

Looks like Islam will be on top.

Resume is debatable but Khabib took much less damage, never got stiffened, lost way less rounds and Islam even struggled heavily against several gate keepers and FW's.

Khabib's the better fighter by all metrics.

Khabib with Islams chin is a worse fighter than Islam.

Ankaleav is a bum he won’t have one successful defence.
