2004年10月20日 · I mean, Khabib is right when he says Russia has produced more top fighters than Ireland. But it's kinda an unfair comparison. Russia has (I think) the 4th largest population out of every country on Earth (USA is #3, India is #2, China is #1) Ireland has less than half the population of New York City alone, much less a country where 150 million+ ...

2015年1月22日 · Khabib hasn't faced 6 ouf ot 10 ranked lightweights in the UFC. And it's not like Khabib's old either, even everything considered, he's just 32. IF Fedor retired at 32, Fedor would have retired undefeated at heavyweight, 31-1 only loss that should have been dq if …

2018年7月26日 · A lot of tension leading up to this PFL match between Usman and Paul. Irish vs Dagestani fans fighting in and around the arena pre-fight. Khabib comes in like a leader with common sense and a heart full of gratitude… 🐐 #FREEPALESTINE 🇵🇸

2024年11月2日 · Khabib did better against Tibau than Khamzat did against Burns and Khabib was only 23 way pre prime. Burns is an ex LW too and Khamzat did nothing with the grappling and got dropped a few times, plus Tibau was roided …

2024年7月26日 · Khabib's striking was mostly just relentlessly pushing forward daring his opponent to try to throw a punch so he could shoot under it and grab them. Umar and Usman are that next step in the evolution, full-fledged strikers that …

2016年12月2日 · Khabib missed out on many top guys from 2 different eras because he was either sitting out injured or retired early. He obviously had the potential to do bigger things but coming back from a 2 year layoff to fight Darrell Horcher and Michael Johnson when you're already ranked top 5 doesn't exactly scream "best of all time".

2020年6月11日 · Khabib went to the hospital because he could not control his weight. Nurmagomedov weight issues scrap UFC 209 bout with Ferguson Khabib Nurmagomedov's UFC interim lightweight title bout with Tony Ferguson has been canceled one day before UFC 209 after Nurmagomedov was hospitalized due to problems making weight.

2024年9月8日 · I think it's pretty obvious Khabib was a better grappler than Islam and more gifted in terms of durability, strength and athleticism. Apparently he used to toy with Islam in training. Islam can make a case for GOAT LW if he keeps accumulating hardware but then you value quantity over quality.

2025年1月18日 · Khabib believes the champ was forced into the fight by UFC officials. “The difficulty was only because Merab didn't want to fight,” Khabib recently told Gorilla Fighting. “I believe that the UFC made Merab fight and they pressured him and made him fight [Umar]. The UFC needed a co-main event fight. That's my personal opinion.

2004年10月20日 · Khabib doesn’t have beef w young fighters. He doesn’t care when any of them call him out. As for Islam, his grappling is overrated at this point. He didn’t look like Khabib against Dustin and Volk gave him fits in the first fight. Ilia has the style to beat and possibly KO Islam. Usman would be a tougher fight for Ilia from a stylistic ...
