Why is Khabib trolling Conor for fighting at multiple weights?

[Lovelyboy]

Mcgregor never losed in 145 and dominated that division and he still had the balls to move two divisions above 145. Khabib on the other hand wants to play it safe

He never lost because he was a weight bully. Imagine a natural 170 pounder killing himself to make FW.

 

[Just Creed]

There’s a reason he’s almost killed himself multiple times trying to make LW...

lol this is the new narrative people use to detract Khabib. When did he last miss weight? He's defended the title twice now so stop saying stupid things

dominated even though he was kept well away from Dennis Bermudez, Frankie Edgar, Clay Guida, Charles Olivera, Darren Elkins, Nik Lentz, Ricardo Lamas.
No, he never dominated 145, he was given a favourable path. And before you say Chad Mendes, Mendes had 2 weeks notice lol

 

[Just Creed]

Beating Cerrone at 170 is better than 155 lol
Cerrone struggles to make 155 and beat some good people at welterweight, he had a close fight with the former ww champ

Lol no it's not better,, quit talking nonsense, the majority of his career has been at 155 where he's had great performances. His fight with Lawler was 2.5 years ago lol. If anything 170 has made his chin and mental game even worse

 

[Robbie Corleone]

Khabib doesn't need to keep moving up and down because he doesn't keep losing

Is that the case with Canelo?

 

[Lovelyboy]

Don't know. Don't care about boxing.

 

[Robbie Corleone]

Don't know. Don't care about boxing.

Ah right, well it’s common in combat sports for competitors to change divisions in order to fight new opponents and prove themselves in other weight divisions.

Conor fights LW's at WW, not WW's at WW.

Nate isn't good enough to fight Khabib.

And why bring up Max when he was losing to Dennis Bermudez when Conor beat him? He wasn't a ranked win

This!!!

 

[Lord Grey]

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.

Before Khabib entered the UFC, the majority of his fights were at 170. He won them all.

If he beats Ferguson (and maybe Gaethje or a McG rematch), I'd love to see him challenge himself by moving back to 170 and taking on the top fighters there. I think he'd stand a very good chance of beating them, though perhaps Usman would be too much.

Conor wasn't ranked either at the time and after that Max started his run.

You could say the same about Khabib being a 'weight bully'. He missed weight a bunch of times, fought 10 straight at 170lbs before dropping to LW for the UFC.

He even said he was having seizures cutting weight to fight Conor.

 

[ostlerrage]

Poirier is a lightweight cutting to 155.
Conor is a welterweight cutting to 170.
Khabib is a lightweight, making weight for 2+ years.
Facts.

Jesus son. Do you believe the crap you type. Sigh.

Provide evidence he said that. You cant.

He's never dwarfed any of his opponents. Not even in the slightest. That proves he was fighting in a weight class above his. Compare this to Conor who physically dwarfed everyone at FW.

And khabib only missed weight due to tiramisu and injuries.

 

[TheAmericanGazelle]

I don't really know why people automatically give mega special weight to fighting in multiple weight classes.

It's perfectly possible to fight harder fighters within a single weight class than someone who fights across multiple weights even giving some sort of multiplier for weight differences.

Conor fighting Cowboy or Diaz at 170 is not harder than Khabib fighting Tony (or probably even LW Dustin) at 155, even giving a boost for weight differences to Conor (for example).

Cerrone's losses at 170 were to wws.. that doesn't mean he is not a bigger threat for Conor at WW
Saying fighting at WW is at Cerrone's advantage doesn't mean Cerrone should fight at WW.. WW are much bigger and stronger

That's not what I said, I know welterweight is a totally different weight class. I was laughing at theidea that Conor 'challenged' himself fighting other lightweights at Welterweight. He just didnt want to cut weight that's all. He has never fought real WW's like Usman, RDA, Masvidal,(I know the two are former lw's but they are fully grown in their new weight class now) or Lawler.

This is also why Khabib is never going to fight at welterweight, because it is not his real weightlclass and he knows that. Unfortunately Conor fanboys and haters don't understand that.

 

[Juventud]

Because he sandbags & is trying to deflect.

He's a middleweight cutting to 155.

So is most guys at 155.

Yknow all this stuff started with Conor. Before him no one really gave a shit about cutting weight. Now it's used as a tool by the weakest most light in the loafers sissy boy "fans" ever when they get mad at success.

 

[Hellhammer84]

Doesnt matter if he stays at lw or not. He owns that Irish prick

10 mostly finishes.

If Khabib cut to 155 and Nate came in with no weight cut, Khabib would still win.

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.

Conor was always a LW. He just cut 30 lbs and used IVs to make it manageable. Poirier has stated that he's contemplating moving up to WW.

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.

No he couldn't have. He moved up because he can't cut the weight anymore. He even struggled with his last LW cut

He really did look like shit at the weight ins for 145 sometimes. Like death warmed over
