RDA fought Khabib in 2014. After tomorrow night, RDA will have competed 10x in the UFC since

[Lawblaw]

Against just two appearances for Khabib

Anik just tweeted that, pretty dumb to give him a title shot to be honest! Dude's probably out of his prime already.

Khabib and Cain are the ones that never were. Baffling to me that people mention them in the GOAT of their respective weight classes discussion. According to me, they absolutely had the potential to achieve that, but based on resume alone, they arnt even top 10 IMHO.

RDA smashes khabob now.

Lol it's a joke honestly.

Made him a better man.

Unfair to lump Cain in there with Khabib considering he was a multi time champion.

Cain is certainly top 10 based on resume, IMO.

I agree but its unfair to compare him to Cain. While Cain's prime was mostly him in the gym beating up his friends, Cain was a champ who defended his belt. Khabib will probably never become a champ.

Cain is still top ten because the Heavyweight division sucks.

He seemed fine the whole time when he was on his way up.
The second he got the belt, suddenly he was injured all the time.

 

[Nightwish]

Khabib is not champion material.

 

[BoD 2.0]

Well they matched him up against Barboza. He's the most dangerous striker in the division. So it's not like they are just gifting him the belt or title shot. And before that he was matched against Ferguson.

Khabib made him look like an amateur...Amazing fighter but not good enough to beat Khabib.

Yea but that's mostly because there is a much longer queue of contenders at LW. Khabib has more fights

Been saying this for ages.. also one of those wins was vs a practical nobody on short notice.. and the other vs a decent but never close to title contender in Johnson.

Not like they were high quality wins

Barboza is tailor made for Khabib, once he's got him down he's gonna be all over him like a rash.

He was matched against Ferguson as it was the battle for the #1 spot.

They offered him Ferg again at 217 and he turned it down.

Or Khabib is tailor made for Barboza. As the fight starts on the feet.

And I’m not sure what your point is about Ferguson.

You really think Barboza takes this?

My point about Ferguson is Khabib is ducking for him for the easier fights.
