I remember reading this years back, then lost the link but always remembered it in the back of my head (kept thinking fever for some reason). I came across it a few weeks ago, but there's an interesting parallel with Yoel's fight if its true that Yoel went into the Luke fight with an injured leg and likely why he missed weight.


According to his interview in Russian:
http://profc.com.ua/mma/mma-publika...v-moya-osnovnaya-zadacha-pobeda-intervyu.html


- Khabib was training with Gray Maynard in AKA, when Gray fucked up his leg during sparring.
- The fight was on May 25. Maynard injured Khabib's leg on April 22.
- He couldn't train for 2 weeks, up till May 5th.

So he effectively had 19 days for camp and weight-cut. That is TOUGH. When you take that into consideration, you realize why Khabib flipped out at Abel during the weigh-ins. Khabib also mentioned in a post-fight interview he had tried to shake Abel's hand and apologize backstage but Abel snubbed him, then when Abel pressed against him at weigh-ins Khabib felt the disrespect so he pushed back.

Khabib mentions he had originally planned to fight Abel on the feet, but because of his leg injury he kept it exclusively on the ground. Hence, we got the record breaking 21 takedowns.


Wait, Maynard was at AKA?.. I did a google search and this is what came up:

Maynard didn't move into a one-bedroom apartment right next to the gym. He bought a house that required a remodeling and was located in a beach town an hourlong drive from the AKA mats. In 2013, he became a father to a girl, Estella.

He worked out at AKA but he was never really an AKA "guy." Before his last fight, a TKO loss to Ross Pearson in August, he switched camps again, electing to do a one-off fight preparation at Power MMA in Arizona.​

The Pearson fight was in August. So basically Maynard fucked up Khabib's leg in mid April and then ran off to another gym 2 months later. What a loser.


Khabib had it tough and still showed up for fight night. The dude gets a LOT of unneeded hate. Like how they keep bringing up "he pulled out from Cerrone" fights, his fault is even taking whatever fights they offer him. He pulled out way before fight camp, fights get scrapped all the time but you don't hear about them. He gets shit on for fighting Horcher when its Tony that pulled out that time due to lung injury. Eddie ducked him, so he fought MJ. Realistically he's only had 1 bad weight-cut which is also the only time a fight got scrapped last minute.

Khabib does pull out a lot, dude. A lot more than the average MMArtist. So basically, your last paragraph is number one bullshit.
 
inb4 someone posts a tiramisu pic for likes, probably in reply to this
 
Thx for this. War Khabib

Which is still his fault for training like a dumbass all those years? It’s no excuse considering how many times it’s happened to him specifically.

We all know that. What's your point?

I'm just revealing the story behind his missed-weight. He wasn't slacking off, his leg was injured. And its interesting because Yoel seems to have had the same situation in his fight with Luke.
 
Maybe Maynard should have stayed at aka longer than a few months lmao.
 
Do you get paid to shill for Russian fighters? How do I apply?

I see you're butthurt. <VinceCa$h> Tell Conman to let us know when he's done with the maternity leave. You live right by him don't you.

Regardless of all this ^
It's still the fighter responsibility if they get hurt in camp. Maybe train smarter.

That fight's over and done with. Khabib made TD history in it already.

Its just the parallel with Yoel that I found interesting. It went totally under our noses.

Added.
 
Gray probably felt bad about the incident and took his camp at the other place. I doubt he felt welcome at AKA after that.

Anyway, Khabib is a beast.
 
I'm confident he'll make weight this time with new nutritionist. Now all we can hope for is no injuries. He has cancelled like 4 bouts with injuries. Melendez, Cerone twice and Tony once. 5 times if you count his kidney shutting down an injury instead of missing weight.

Tony has way more fights like 14 and only missed one due to injury so something is wrong with Khabib's training.
 
Interesting read, thanks for sharing.



That said, Khabib still has had issues with weight more than once and still pulls out of fights frequently. I don't think anybody is accusing him of pulling out for no reason or for poor reasons - it's the frequency which is a concern. Whether he has poor luck, trains irresponsibly or trains with guys who are careless he isn't reliable as a fighter. What would LW look like today if Khabib had only a couple of injuries? Or none?


Really hoping that he finally is able to face Ferguson this time so we can see who's better.
 
Can you explain why an injury would affect his weight cut? My understanding is that a weight cut is mainly about dieting
