Throwback: Dan "The Hangman" Hooker Talks about Khabib "Out-Muscling" Rockhold

https://www.google.com/amp/www.pund...ry/ufc-lightweight-khabib-nurmagomedov-3/amp/

“I just hope he comes in and makes the weight. I seen him out of camp once man, and that’s a big dude,”Hooker recently told James Lynch when he was asked to pick a winner in the Nurmagomedov vs. Barboza fight. He would have been like 95 kilos [209lbs] – like light-heavyweight size – and he was wrestling Luke Rockhold and just out-muscling him, just holding him down.”

“So, that’s a big guy. That’s one of the guys that I don’t know how he makes lightweight, man,”

Lol hollyshit khabib's insane.<{danawhoah}><30><{katwhu}>
 

Damn. As fun as watching paint dry.

So trapped
Luke going 50% at best
 
despite size, of which there isn't much in this case.

Khabib is probably around 185-90 here, and Luke around 205-210. Luke is also 5" taller. Luke is indeed way bigger.

Khabib is by all measures a big 155er, and wouldn't be too out of place at 170. That said, Luke is a big 185er and wouldn't be out of place at 205. Luke is at least one, if not two full classes above Khabib. The notion that Khabib is so massive he's practically a middleweight is pushing the envelope of truth a bit too far.
