Media Poirier confirms that he is bigger than Khabib even when he was FW

[Heraclitus]

Highly doubt 145-Poirier was bigger than Khabib. Just talking common sense here, Khabib always had a hard time making 155, and Poirier supposedly was bigger when he at 145 at the time cutting an extra 10 lbs on top of that?

Khabib is a thicker man. He doesn't have the height, but he has a thicker neck, thicker head, thicker torso, and big legs.

Khabib also has that Dagestanian diet, with potatoes, carbs, and all kinds of food that make cutting weight more difficult.

 

[SG123]

Do you believe something Khabib says?

I mean it’s not like the weigh scale in his last fight clearly indicated else wise.

it’s not like his team faked dying fathers last wish to be GSP come down to 155 and fight my son.

Get a fucking life, you pathetic rodent. Who views life and sport like this?

He says that he was 190 pounds while fighting at Featherweight, while Khabib says he is 185 pounds when he is already retired.

If Khabib wanted to be a weight bully, he would fight at Featherweight, like Poirier did, who is still bigger than him at Lightweight.

Khabib didn't say 185 lbs. He said 87 kilos, which is 192 lbs. That's 2 lbs higher than Dustin. And there's no chance that DP weighed in at 145 and then was already back to a higher weight the next day than Khabib was at after cutting 10 less lbs. That's basic logic.

 

[BalloonFoot]

He wasn't 190 in the cage though, nor was Khabib 185 in the cage.

Walk around weight =|= cage weight

This. People are so fuckin stupid with regards to walk around weight. Hell if Khabib munched down on Tiramisu 24/7 and walked around bloated at 250lbs, that doesn't mean Khabib should be fighting at HW. It is all about body fat %'s. Wish the UFC would get legit body fat tests done on day of the weigh in, and then just prior to walking out on fight night. That way, we can get a better picture of how much some of these guys are cutting water weight.

Guys like DC and Gast are examples of being terrible at cutting weight. These two could easily cut down to a lower weight class (MW with DC and WW for Gas) if they implemented a legit diet year round, however they choose not to. Going into a weight cut being close to where you need to be (Izzy for example) vs going into that fight week having to cut a lot of fat because you had a shit diet up until that point (Mike Perry for example).

 

[Spiritual Sight]

I'm wondering what the WW guys weigh during off season? How much at fight time?

I agree with everything man.

You miss weight in a weight class then you don't belong there imo and if you win the belt you aren't the legit champ. Just like DC, cheated to make weight at 205 and poked Stipe's eye to win the belt at HW. He's a double champ but imo not a champ at all.

Colby wasnt lying he said dustin is bigger than him and weighed 195 while colby was 180 before weight cut

 

[JKS]

Still baffles me that people here can't accept the simple fact that Khabib goes through absolute hell making weight, experiencing seizures, hospitalized, missed weight, had that shady weigh in against Gaethje where official clearly covered up for him.

If he was a small or middle sized LW he wouldn't be going through these things.

What happened at the weigh in with Gaethje?

 

[Bearknuckle]

He still lost to kz

 

[NoSmilez]

They both got fatbody genes. Khabib is going to get real big in a few years. Definitely more than DC.

Unfortunately this is how simple minded Sherturds think. If you're obese 400lbs but cut down to 155lb for a LW bout with a body fat % of 10% it means you're a weight bully since your walk around weight was so much higher. Probably have a better chance using magic to build Trump's wall then to talk sense in to Sherturds.

PS: I've never seen boxing fans use Sherturd arguments such as the weight ones, it's quite funny how low the average IQ is of a Sherturd compared to a boxing fans on a boxing forum.

Otherwise Ricky Hatton would have been a great example to use the Sherturd weight class argument against, he regularly ballooned up to 220lbs+ between fights eating and drink junk, yet fought at 140lbs. No boxing fan has said he should have fought at HW or he's a weight bully etc.

Has more to do with lifestyle than genes.

He wasn't 190 in the cage though, nor was Khabib 185 in the cage.

IV banning was great.

Brock was 290 or even 300lbs almost. 295lbs when he was prime fighting. 30lbs isnt as much for a bigger giant guy as it is for a smaller person it is less a % of his bodyweight

 

[Oceanmachine]

This is all talk, we need official fight night weight, until that point Khabib has only missed once iirc and looks just like the rest of the LW's.

One FC does this. UFC could do it better

Weighed 1 week before fight

Weighed 2 days before (by this time all fighters are near the fight location). Also hydration tested

Weighed day of fight, hydration tested

You cant cheat that. USADA us able to drug test abd show up at random during fight week and even during camp so the same could happen here.

 

[D 1 Wrestler]

Khabib is currently 192lbs in retirement. In his recent interview, he said he was 87 kilos.

I posted this already, but it just further confirms the weight bully argument was made by Khabib haters grasping at straws.

That's 7 lbs more than colby, sounds like khabob is a weight bully

 

[GearSolidMetal]

He says that he was 190 pounds while fighting at Featherweight, while Khabib says he is 185 pounds when he is already retired.

I'd need some more evidence to believe any fighter could weigh in at 145 and within 30 hours gain 45 pounds of water weight before walking into the cage.

I love Justin, but he's got to be exaggerating here.

 

[bogeyj]

why are khabib fans always trying to prove he's a small/average sized LW?

khabib is a huge LW and ducked the WW division because he knew he couldn't bully those guys like he could the manlets at LW.

get the fuck over it.
