Media Umar might be the chillest in their camp.

Khabib is doing more than watch Islam from the sidelines, he's actually investing his life into making sure Islam win and guiding him to victory. Islam struggled when Khabib wasn't in his corner and said as much.

As for being better than Khabib who he freely admits is better than him, all we have to do is look at the stats against the one guy they both actually grappled, Poirier,

Well that settles it, in your opinion, Islam can do nothing to be a better fighter. Okay got it. Lmao I mean yeah let him keep on winning and even at a higher weight division against tougher competition and it will just never be good enough.

And islam is too humble to ever admit that he's better than Khabib. But of course conveniently. You can take him literally and roll with that if you like.

Is Islam's coach too humble to say that Khabib is better than Islam? Because he has been saying that all along as well.

 

[RichardHarrow]

fuck Khabib for being against reading. What a fucking idiot.

The 0 will never go buddy. It’s time to move on to acceptance.

Islam will keep on winning and even you will come around to who the better fighter is. Khabib ducked out early and was too scared to move up.

This is the same dumbass logic that makes Cowboy fans think Emmit Smith is better than Barry Sanders

Accolades and resume is different than who’s actually the better fighter/player in real life. Everyone has eyes. Khabib was the better fighter, just like Sanders was better than Smith even if Smith had better stats.

So you don't think Islam will ever be the better fighter and there's nothing he can do about it? Well, I guess this is like arguing with a brick wall. No hard feelings though, I'm sure there are other MMA fighters we agree on.

Right. There is nothing he can do about it.

Khabib beat the shit out of Islam his entire life and didn't have 5 life and death battles in the cage and a knockout loss on the way up specifically because he is better.

It's not something that's ever going to change because of Islam's career accomplishments. Sorry. That's not how it works.

You're conflating accolades with ability.

Islam is on the back half of his career, there’s probably no more development left in his game he’s pretty much finished product. Khabib is still better. Islam can definitely have the better career (already does), but he will never be a better fighter. If peak Islam and peak Khabib fought, I would bet everything I own Khabib beats him soundly.

Just for fun, somebody could create a poll to see who they thinks is the better fighter between these two. I'm curious of the results. Btw, we have different opinions but I still respect you man.

Maybe you should start a petition as well because you weren't able to articulate a decent counter argument

TBH I think there is irrational hatred of Khabib from the Conor rivalry, I suspect many of these former Conor fans would vote Islam just to spite Khabib lol.

No need for the attitude, a poll would be interesting to see what our peers think. And I do feel my argument was stronger and more compelling than yours. Anyways, no hard feelings even though you have hard feelings towards me. Hope you have a nice day.

I actually disagree on that. Conor fans have all abandoned him because there is a thin line between love and hate and they hate him now.

Our peers in this case being the one most vocal Khabib hating ex-Conor fan loving contingents on the internet is not going to change reality, take the 0 off of Khabib's record or change the fact that Islam is Khabib's life long rag doll.

Conor fans haven't abandoned him, they're just too embarrassed to publicly support him after they bet on the wrong horse so they hide behind other fighters to do their bidding.

Well, I appreciate our engagement but it looks like we're not going to find much middle ground. If anything I would see Conor's fan base rooting against Islam because they hate that entire camp.

They are rooting against Islam, vehemently, but also try to position him above Khabib out of spite.

Both can be true.
