What are som of Khabib's weaknesses?

[CombatScience]

I think his only real weakness is that he doesn't move his head enough, which is why I think he gets clipped by Mcgregor and alot of 170 pounders when he moves up in weight. The thing about Khabib is he's deceptively strong and tires out guys by hanging on them.

 

[DLX]

He has no weakness. He is god incarnate.

 

[Frankie Baby!]

No weaknesses

 

[Loiosh]

 

[Lint]

No weaknesses, he figured out the way to beat MMA at all.

And also there's no such thing as a hype train going lol

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

Tiramisu.


It put him in the hospital, remember?

 

[jasonjonesmma]

Tiramisu and striking.

 

[MaulingMyClown]

I remember him getting hit and rocked once or twice against someone. May have been Michael Johnson but I can't remember? Or Rafael Dos Anjos maybe?

 

[SherdogFan23]

He doesn't have strong striking or striking defense. He hits in volume but has no power. He weathers the strikes enough to get to grapple position.

 

[YellowBanenoo]

He also gives out a lot of opening when he throw punches. Perfect for the counter.

 

[PTSDtreatment]

Tiramisu, already mentioned, and Ramadan.

 

[DetachedOrchid]

According to Dom uppercuts and knees.

 

[Practical Goat]

I don't think it's necessarily about his weaknesses.. I just can't think of anyone who would trouble him in that division.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

I'd give clear examples but his hoards of rabid defenders aren't interested in real conversations, so.. no weaknesses

 

[Mixedfights]

His weaknesses include:
Showing up to fights
Making weight
Dog shit striking
Asking people to "give up" because he "deserves" shit and cant finish anybody.

 

[Kingz]

He don’t finish fights

 

[Cat Biscuits]

Striking is his only weakness so far.

I'd like to see about cardio, but since he's in control of the fight and controls the pacing, he can set it however he wants. He never has to carry anyone else's weight, and can take a rest whenever he needs to.

Other than that, he has a good chin after taking some hard shots and not going out.

He doesn't have many weaknesses, and anything you'd consider weak is still pretty strong by comparison.

 

[Mentallooser]

Chin hangs straight up in the air. The rest all seems to be improving, but that is going to get him hurt one day

 

[BoD 2.0]

I noticed he was reaching down at every leg kick from Barboza. Someone could exploit that and bring the kick high to catch him.

Other than that, his striking is a weakness. Or maybe not a “weakness”, but weaknesses can be found in his striking and capitalized on. Other than the leg kick reaction, he rushes in with his head stationary and high, and also leaves himself open on strikes a lot. He gets away with this stuff, I assume, because his opponents are constantly in shock and survival mode.

Maybe he’s no good at getting submissions from off his back.
