What does it say about Khabib that the guy who just tied Anderson is his life-long rag doll?

Why do you people still have an obsession with a drunk drug addict rapist? I get that he was one of your hero's 5 good wins, but he's entirely irrelevant to the discussion for the most part.


That might just be your reading comprehension issues. I've stated both that Khabib's first 15 opponents were cans and that he had only a handful of good wins in the UFC. Both statements are true.


This is a non-starter, meaningless statistic.
A fighter's greatness is judged by quality of opposition, wins, and title reigns. Finishes get thrown in as a secondary criteria, however, only Khabib nuthuggers have ever given even half a shit for "the most 10-8 rounds in UFC history" which really just shows there were a lot of rounds where Khabib should have finished the fight, but did not.


Against lesser competition and only a handful of good fighters, meanwhile Jones (who I'm not a fan of) fought nothing but the top of his division for a decade. Yea, no wonder Khabib had more 10-8s, he was fighting worse fighters you utter doofus.


No, that is an absurdly fucking retarded way of thinking. Who the UFC puts in their p4p rankings to advertise their fighters means nothing, though at the very least you are starting to lean towards an actual resume, which is how we've always judged fighters here in reality.


Tons of fighters would shitslam Khabib's first 15 effortlessly. Many of them would lose to Tibau (like Khabib did, but was gifted a robbery). "Without a scratch habibi" this is another made up Khabib fan "statistic".

"How many fighters can cook a full English breakfast?
"How many fighters have subbed two guys after tkoing a guy, then two decision following in that order?"
Same shit, meaningless when put into the context of him fighting only a handful of good fighters.
Had he stuck around, he would have lost rounds and fights like most other fighters do, he retired early to save his 0.

Too bad he didn't stick around to prove himself, had only a handful of good wins, and goes into the "what if" category for all times.
Typical Conor fan in hiding trying to downplay Khabib<lol>

Can't name a single fighter in MMA history who went 29-0 without getting scratched and even did so at the top level against P4P fighters (and no even roided to the gills Tibau did zero damage). Pretends it's easy.

Can't explain why all other GOAT fighters either lost, got touched up or finished by journeymen.
 
Sherdog when they are forced to confront how good Khabib is

How good someone is is subjective, especially in a pound for pound discussion. Want to know what isn’t subjective? Accomplishments like title defenses. So when you start saying he’s greater than fighters with more than double the amount of accomplishments, you’re going to run into some push back.
16 Title wins > 4 Title Wins. I don’t care how pretty you think his face looked after fights. And you don’t get to group Islam and Khabib’s accomplishments together.

Khabib having the most 10-8 rounds in UFC history (not subjective)
Khabib having the most round per round dominance on official scorecards in UFC history (not subjective)
Khabib having one of the the longest winsteaks in UFC history (not subjective)
Khabib being the only fighter not to get scratched in 29 fights (not subjective)
 
What I dont get is why DC still says Jones has more talent. Jones got beat up by alex.
 
Typical Conor fan in hiding trying to downplay Khabib<lol>
I don't care for Conor, I thought he was exciting during his initial run but was one of the first people to say boxing would ruin him. It not only did, but the money brought out the real Conor, which not many people are fans of (besides rapists).

Meaningless unless you're an actual low IQ child and didn't understand my initial deconstruction of that point in the post you're quoting. Quality of competition, mostly.

They didn't retire early to save their legacies. If Khabibi kept fighting, he would have slipped and lost like everyone else.
Fedor fought for 23 years, Khabib fought for 12.

Ok so let’s see here…

It would be possible to hold the record of most 10-8 rounds and not even be a champion. So what does that even mean at the end of the day? Is RDA the GOAT for having the most octagon time? Is Jim Miller the GOAT for having the most octagon time?


That stat is the same as the other one. You don’t even have to be a champion to have that stat.


“One of the longest,” not “the longest.” And against who?


This isn’t a beauty contest. Not getting a scratch doesn’t point to anything. It can be indicative of the level of competition you faced.


I’m so tired of people creating these arbitrary stats that don’t mean anything.
 
Possibly!
Guess we'll never know.
I like that they are different from each other, very Fire/Ice
I think they are but I think Islam actually has the necessary skills to beat Khabib. It is absolutely too bad we will never get to see those 2 fight

durrr... it's meaningless to be the most dominant fighter ever and accomplish something nobody else has<lol>

Silva, Islam and GSP lost to journeymen early in their runs, not just later like the rest who got beaten up by journeymen on the way up and lost to cans later

Find me a pic of Khabib ever looking like this

Totally meaningless arbitrary stats bro

Most 10-8 rounds in UFC history (dominance)
Highest winning round % in UFC history (dominance)
Tied with GSP's UFC winstreak (people try to act like Khabib accomplished nothing in the UFC)
Not getting scratched in 29 fights (god like)

You're acting like I'm saying the guy won the most fight bonuses or something
<28>

It’s the same thing. Those stats are nice little decorations if you have everything else but they lack totality and depth.

Find me a pic of Khabib fighting a good fighter.
 
Where’s RDA in the GOAT conversation? Why did he get knocked out by a Bellator fighter in his prime? He’s kind of like Khabib in the sense that he defended his title one time.
Khabib was tied for the most title defenses at LW until Islam broke the record.

Go back to watching boxing.
 
Islam is clearly a better fighter than Khabib though and he's still not done yet.

Hypothetically if they fought, Islam neutralizes the grappling and every round starts standing and he catches Khabib with his significantly better striking.
 
Yeah it might slightly change things when you're facing one of the only fighters that can defend your takedowns, this isn't the usual bloated up 145 striker....
You don't know that Khabib took down and finished. Finished last 3 guys quicker and quicker.
