Who is more well-rounded, Khabib or McGOAT?

Conor is a better grappler than Khabib is a striker.
 
Khabib outstruck Iaquinta and Barboza when he wasn't mauling them.

Conor isn't on the ground much, but from what we've seen, it's been pretty basic and usually on the losing side.
 
A square is more rounded than a triangle. Does it really matter. Well rounded is not the question of these two fighters. The question is which fighter is less dimensional.
The casual fans of MMA favor the striking aspect of the sport over the grappling aspect. Even the majority of hardcore fans favor submission grappling over top control GnP style grappling.

Given this, most would say McGregor is "better" rounded than Khabib.

That's why conor has been submitted numerous times whereas Khabib has some of the best striking defense stats in the entire UFC. khabib outstruck Al, Barboza, and RDA on the feet. Conor 's biggest achievement on the ground is...what? tearing his knee while passing 20 year old max holloway's guard?
 
Conor by a small margin imo. Haven't seen much of his ground game but what we've aeen has been solid overall. Mostly defensive, nothing dangerous, but still good.

Khabib's striking is getting better and he has been adding to his bag of tricks slowly but he is still more specialized imo. He is on his way to becoming more well rounded tho.

Sweeping black belt Nate Diaz.

Sweeping Mendes as well.

Khabib's striking sucks bruh. His only advantage standing is the threat of the takedown.

Khabib is an amateur on the feet. Conor sweeps black belts on the ground.
 
I guess Conor, but being "well rounded" doesn't mean that you're better. Joe Lauzon is pretty well rounded but he always gets his ass kicked lol.

It's more about being able to implement your game plan. Khabib killing everyone on the ground and never losing means he's better able to implement his plan than Conor getting finished three times all in the same way.
