The more I watch Khabib fight, the more beatable he appears

[MMA__Analyst]

In the Gleison Tibau fight we saw someone who was able to defend the takedowns and expose Khabibs absolute shit striking and outstrike Khabib.

In the MJ fight we saw Khabib being susceptible to being rocked by lengthy strikers

In the edson barboza fight we continued to see Khabib strike with literally zero technique. Like absolute dogshit striking but he's a wizard on the ground. He was running forward with his chin up like a madman....

In the Al Iaquinta fight we saw Khabib completely dominate Al on the ground gaining dominate position but unable to submit a purple belt who's only 3 losses are through submission. Then khabib decides to strike with Al in the 3rd and 4th rounds and we just got re-affirmation of how shit his striking was. Chin up, no power in his punches, zero technique, shit defense, and etc... I was surprised that Al didn't capitalize bu yet again he's ranked #12... We also saw Khabib sort of slow down a bit and Al was able to defend a few takedowns in those later rounds, and in the 5th round when Khabib finally got him to the ground he still was unable to finish him. Khabib won the belt by beating a real estate agent ranked #12 who was preparing for a 3 round fight and took Khabib on one days notice, and Khabib was unable to finish him on the ground, went 5 rounds, and exposed alot of holes in his game in the process.

Khabib does not have an aura of invincibility, because I know someone like Tony, Max, Conor, or some guys at 170 (Khabibs real weight class) will pick apart Khabib and take advantage for many holes i his game. Does anyone think that Tony, Max, Conor, GSP, and etc... watched that fight last night and thought "thank god Im not fighing Khabib"....

And yet nobody beats him.

26-0.

 

[JustforBROCK]

I mean, he's Def. beatable -- but he's undefeated to this really just sounds stupid. LOL. Iaquita getting up over and over again proves he isnt as dominate on the ground as every makes him seem. He hasnt really face the people he needs to face, but we will see I guess.

The tony fight needs to happen next to really legitimize either as a champion.

He's still a beast grappler and when he gets guys on the gorund its scary, however I think Tony, Conor, and Max could easily beat him if they fight smart. Also his first 16 fights were against nobodies and of his 10 fights in the UFC he has only fought 4 really high quality opponents and one of them was ranked #12....

 

[legedema]

nobody was able to do it so far but it doesnt mean no one can do it.
Tony,Lee and Gaetje will be his hardest fights

 

[Max_P]

Perhaps you can beat him .... how many word per minute do you type ?

 

[613]

He is beatable. But Conor and Tony don't have the TDD (or gas tank with Conor) to do it

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

It’s like Deontay Wilder, he’s so terrible a boxer but he’s still undefeated and keeps knocking people out.

How the fuck would any of them stop Khabib from taking them down? Khabib would get beat by someone like GSP. SOmeone who can stop his TDs and force a stand up fight. Conor, Max and Tony can't do that and Conor would gas bad

Well if Iaquinta could defend the takedowns and at least get up a few times, I think Tony and maybe even Lee or Gaethj could also do that- being that they are better wrestlers. However, I don't think Tony will be as afraid of the takedown as everybody else, since he has crazy jiu jitsu especially off his back.

 

[ralphus1]

Also took an elite striker in Barboza ans completely neutralized his offense.

Not unbeatable, but nobody has come close yet.

 

[SirKratos]

Idk what people are watching, or if they just want to believe the BS Rogan says during fights, but Khabib was in legit zero danger in all MJ + Barboza + Al fights. Zero.

And I'm saying this as someone who never rooted for Khabib to win

I mean ffs, Al didn't even hit him clean and Rogan was screaming after Iaquinta's haymakers lol, So I can understand why Shertards think that way

 

[NurmaGOATedov]

You know you're a future GOAT when the only thing haters can say is you looked like shit 50-43ing a 5 fight win streak Iaquinta on 1 days notice

 

[Taric]

I mean, he's won 32 consecutive rounds and is 10-0 inside the UFC.
Conor was choked out 3 fights ago.

 

[ImNotSurpisedDonks!]

He's in prime Jones and Silvia range. No body even wins rounds but yet we think they are so beatable if some perfect better fighter magically came along.

 

[private user]

I'm a fan and I thought he showed that the right fighter can beat him last night.

I think Conor can catch him coming in and put him to sleep
I think Tony can weather the early storm and wear him down later

I could see the latter happening much more likely than Conor

Still not sure if I saw a playing around khabib last night or a serious khabib last night. I thought Tony and Conor had no chance before last night, but I can admit when I see evidence to the contrary. Still think serious khabib beats both more times than not

That’s kind of how it goes...
The more fights you see, the more info gets exposed.
But he’s still comfortably winning.

I remember how impossible it seemed for Fedor, BJ, Anderson, Aldo, Cruz, and Ronda, to lose.
The Grim Reaper of MMA will come for all of them, as long as they keep fighting.
Conor and GSP know this, and have made efforts to minimize risk. But just like the Big Manhattan earthquake, it will come, eventually.

I don't like Conor's chances to be honest. Wouldn't be able to survive the first 2 rounds like Raging Al did and he doesn't have the stamina of Max and Ferg. Ferg and Max would give Khabib many more problems.

 

[NHB7]

Everyone that’s fought him thought he looked beatable as well.
