Why is Khabib trolling Conor for fighting at multiple weights?

How many wins does Khabib outside of LW?
How would Khabib do against even Nate at 170lbs? We'll never know because he's happy to stay in the secure confines of LW.

Every camp we hear about how he handles heavyweights in training but the facts are his last 2 wins are over opponents who moved up from FW. So for him to have the audacity to question Conor's record at 170 is an astonishing own-goal.

Whatever you think about Conor, he could have done 'a Khabib' and stayed dominant at FW, but with the 4 best challengers in Jose, Max, Dustin and Chad already put to the sword he wanted a greater challenge. If anyone can talk about "legacy" it's Conor.

Nah. It’s a pretty good troll job by Khabib. Conor bragged about his record of KO’s in three divisions, so Khabib posted a gif of him submitting in three divisions as well.
 
Khabib doesn't need to keep moving up and down because he doesn't keep losing

Yea there’s also this.

Moreover, I’m sure Khabib could win fights at 170 if he randomly asked Nate Diaz or Donald Cerrone to face him there.

I don’t blame Conor for taking advantage of the situation, but randomly fighting at a more convenient weight without sacrificing momentum in your normal divisions isn’t a luxury that’s afforded to most fighters.
 
He pwned himself with that post by highlighting the fact that he never had the guts to fight in his natural weightclass. He has missed weight 3 times and even his own father has said he would like him to either move to 170 or retire as it isn't good for his longterm health.

Not sure what the pic is supposed to prove.
Had an injury during camp which affected his weight cut against Mendes, looked a lot better against Aldo.
Also never missed weight vs Khabib missing weight 3 times.
He didn't stay at 45 and moved up and challenged himself.

Khabib/Ali really scored an own goal for mocking a guy who is willing to fight at multiple weightclasses, they really should have just stayed quite on that one.

Agree completely. Khabib outmuscles his opponents because of the size disparity. Bulliet artem with his gang. Calls cerrone a coward. Attacks someone outside the cage and wants to fight mayweather. Some legacy. Hypocrite.

I agree, Conor is the better weight-cutter, Khabib is better at fighting.
Coincidentally Conor's only undefeated streak in the UFC was when he looked like a corpse at the weigh-ins so he could bully midgets.

He then moved up when it was convenient for him because he peaked when he won the title and every further FW fight would have had an inconvenient risk/reward ratio. So in order to not risk losing his FW belt he then moved up to his natural weightclass where he is far from undersized.
And his fights at WW were exclusively against lightweights who didn't cut weight. Let me know once he faces an actual WW.
To make things even worse, all he has to do is fight a mid-tier LW at WW to get endless LW titleshots. Where is the challenge in that?

He jumped out of the cage right into Conor's team of pro fighters / coaches to defend his family's and his culture's integrity.
Conor shows up with 30 rented hooligans and throws a dolly into a bus full of civilians including women.
Conor sucker punches old men.

And why don't you show some evidence of Khabib's size advantage.

You really think Cowboy didn't cut weight at 170? There is a reason Cowboy went to 170 for a while, he is probably bigger than Masvidal. Cowboy at 170 looks far bigger, healthier than 155 Cowboy.
Letting Cowboy fight at 170 was a risk, his Vegas odds halved when it was announced for good reason.

Well you don't say. Everyone looks bigger and healthier when fighting one weightclass up.
Conor was obviously cutting as well and was huge for his standards and according to his own fans.
Again, let me know when Conor fights an active welterweight, not someone who is currently fighting at lightweight.
 
Khabib won't even fight a 40 year old career WW GSP at a catchweight of 157 lbs.

Why make this thread without at least quoting, even if it's not word for word, some of the things Khabib has said on the topic? How the hell is every person reading this supposed to know what he said? I don't have a tweeter or the instamagrams.
 
Nate and Cowboy are LW fighters. Conor has never fought a WW fighter in his entire career. What the hell kind of stupid question is this lol

Conor is a welterweight cutting to 170.
Khabib is a lightweight, making weight for 2+ years.
