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

[cburm]

- Make excuses about why he is statistically both the most dominant fighter and coach ever round per round
- Make excuses about Khabib being 29-0 and never being scratched
- Make excuses about everyone who trained with Khabib getting bulldozed including Islam himself who admits he can't stop him
- Make excuses about footage of Khabib dominating much larger men (most recently salty Cormier) "Gym stories" they say
- Make excuses about Islam losing and going life and death half a dozen times in his career while Khabib had one competitive fight when he was 23 against the biggest juiced prime LW ever with among the highest TDD% in MMA history
- Make excuses about Khabib being the best coach ever literally molding his team into the fighters they are over the last decade and them struggling so bad when he wasn't in their corner he had to come out of coaching retirement

- Conflate resume with actually ability and who the best ever was to actually do it actually was


He may not have stuck around long enough for straw graspers to consider him the "GOAT" of MMA, but he's going to remain relevant the longest as the general of his army because he's the GOD of MMA

Well first of all Anderson Silva streak was 17-0 and even longer if you count all of his ametuar matches.

And the assumption that islam was khabibs rag doll is crazy.

 

[cburm]

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)

..... I think you need to watch all of khabibs 14 fights lol.. and you've got guy with more fight finishes that khabib has competed.. in his decision wins arguable and questionable losses the very weak cans he was fed from his father.

Johnson about kod him and glieson beat him. He couldn't hurt raging al.

You're glazing donuts right now

Khabib clowned Raging Al 50-43 with multiple 10-8 rounds. Complete domination.

MJ landed a punch before taking one of the most horrific beatings I've witnessed in the sport.

Tibau has some of the best tdd in MMA history, was prime and roided to the gills against a green 23 year old Khabib, did zero damage and still lost on all the official scorecards because Khabib had all the Octagon control time. Something judges value more than the media.

How is it crazy?

Islam's coach even said he never beat Khabib in a spar. Islam himself says he can't stop him.

At lightweight, not across all weight classes. We’re discussing MMA GOAT, not LW GOAT.

You barely manage your English because it makes no sense.

 

[Superzorro]

You barely manage your English because it makes no sense.

It’s simple math. Four title defenses is enough to be in the LW GOAT conversation. But it’s not even close to enough to be an honorable mention in the all time GOAT conversation, across all weight classes.

Don't forget he submitted his hardest competition faster and faster. These are JON Jones fans with nothing to talk about.

 

[Joshua8531]

Fought against cans first half of his career, has a handful of top wins, retired early to save his 0.
Respectable 13-0 fighter

He rapidly finished his top 3 competition quicker and quicker. Are you people delusional?

 

[Joshua8531]

That's a lot of rounds where he couldn't finish a guy like Al Iaquinta
Just come off it, Khabibi has 5 or 6 good wins, the rest are journeymen and cans. Islam has already done far more than Khabib did at both LW and a new weight class.

And made it boring fight.

I'll just leave this here

Incredible fighter. I've got nothing bad to say. I do wish he had hung around another couple of years, but I understand why he got out. He lives in Dagestan which means he is beyond wealthy by his fellow countrymen's standards. No need to get punched in the face or grind it out in training.

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Khabib is obviously a great fighter.

Practices and sparring does not count on the resume.

Khabib fought cans, an overrated Conor, then like one good fighter. Missed Tony. Never challenged himself. Quit early.

 

[Gigacardio]

It says he had a super shot career and he fought much smaller guys and mostly striking specialists....and there's a strong argument to be made that he lost a fight too.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

"Because Khabib had all the Octagon control" you are such a laughable nuthugger hahahahahaha


"Judges are notorious idiots, but in this one specific instance, judges are the be all end all and every other opinion doesn't matter."

"Green Khabib at 23"
Tibau was only 28 and Khabib was 17-0 at this point

Rent free to still be bumping this.

Now explain how Islam had a KO loss to Martins and went life and death with Wade, Barnoui, Volk and Poirier and took more damage against Dustin than Khabib did in his entire career (while Islam was in his prime)

I mean Islam got finished to Ariano Martins and went like and death with Volk, and Poirier.

Are they not striking specialists?

Yep, there are plenty of things to say against him too but he has improved, hasn't he?

Respectable 13-0 fighter

100%.

• Beat a fringe Top 10 guy for the belt.
• Had 3 title defenses against the same types of fighters (strikers with questionable TDD, submission defense or both).
• Best wrestler he faced was a juiced BJJ guy
• Most well-rounded guy he faced was RDA before he hit his prime

Lots of guys would look nearly flawless if they retired after 3 title defenses and/or at age 31. What bad thing could you say about Jon Jones if he retired after beating Rashad (3rd defense)? One silly DQ "loss." No close fights. No failed drug tests. Manhandled everyone he fought.

Khabib finished 3 guys in the p4p top 10 in a row to close out his career. He went full God Mode.

Crazy dominance and we saw what he did to Dustin while Islam struggled against him.

Conor after a 2-year layoff was Top 10 P4P?
