Both Justin and Colby are D1 wrestlers...Lol gaethje isn't a legit mma wrestlers
Khabib was so dominant that people are so absolutley furious that they demand he LEAVE THE WEIGHT CLASS.
Usman hasnt gotten to that point.
Khabib because he became the PPV star and got the big pay day against Mcgregor. Usman should go up to 185 and take Izzy's belt because I think he would have great success at 185.
Anderson went up to lhw and didnt fight any champs. This doesnt have anything to do with why people are mad at Khabib not moving up. They are mad cos they cant point to any losses to discredit him,so they gotta go elsewhere with that. So its "well LW was too EASY because he cuts SO MUCH MORE WEIGHT than anyone in the weight class" despite basically looking the same size as the guys he faces.Because Usman and Adesanya have said they would never fight...
That says more about the state of the division as it currently stands.Usman easy. And he's already on his rematch run.
Khabib has 3 wins over top 15 p4p fighters. Usman has maybe 1?
This is about who had the better ufc career,stay on topic.I crack up when anyone mentions khabib in the goat conversation.
If you only go by title defenses,that is a very limited view. People only go by this so they dont have to watch fights,and can judge everything via Wikipedia. Lazy.Usman has way title defenses. Kahbib has only 3 lol. Hardly even goat worthy imo.
Khabib has only been apart of 4 PPVs before retiring.
UFC 223 (350k buys) UFC 229 (2.4 million buys), UFC 242 (unknown), and UFC 254 (675k buys).
Usman has been apart of 5 as well, and is still active.
UFC 235 (650k buys), UFC 245 (unknown), UFC 251 (1.3 million), UFC 258 (Unknown - some threads about 500k but not confirmed), and then UFC 261 (700k buys)
Khabib: 3,425,000 (only counting 223, 229, and 254)
Usman: 2,650,000 (only counting 235, 251, and 261)
If we're to estimate UFC 245 (3 title fight card) at around 400,000 buys, and UFC 258 (weaker card) at 200,000, then they might not be that far off of each others buys. If Khabib Poirier did similar to Khabib Gaethje, then I think Usman could tie that number in another defense or two.
Overall though, Khabib is ahead of him and really got the belt at the perfect time (right before the McGregor fight) so he got the PPV points.
Lol RDA took down and controlled Colby three times! Colby couldn't even pin RDA down once and got the vast majority of his takedowns stuffedRDA himself isn't a good wrestlers. Is there a colby covington in the division
This seems like a really big IF.Definitely agree. If Conor goes on a tear and somehow wins the belt, defends a couple times(with good showings against big wrestlers) before moving up and fighting Usman, I think they would both pull the same PPV numbers nearly.
