khabib in 13 fights lost 1 (well 2 now) and the first was mcgregor is debatable consdierng how much he cheated. Khabib never looked in trouble, any fight.

guys like jones/silva will take hits for getting popped, to say otherwise is dumb. if lebron got hit with a ped suspension, do ppl think his goat convo would still be there lol. Jones needs to dominate heavyweight to help his rep back up. Provided he stops getting caught lol


Disregarding PEDs wasn't my stipulation (it's just for fun anyway) and I was talking about his first 13 fights since that is all Khabib has in the UFC. Also not sure what you mean about Khabib losing 1 or 2 fights including one to McGregor?



sorry i meant in the 13 fights, he lost only 2 rounds. one to mcgregor (bc he cheated numerous times) and one to Justin who offcially won the first round

also I meant santos not smith.

The judges who gave JG round 1 should have been left in the desert. Khabib cut through Justin's guard like a knife through Jello and had him in a finishing hold at the bell. The previous 4 minutes were not nearly enough to counteract that.

I probably would have had Khabib winning the 1st Round as well.
Although he should have had 3 rounds lost against Tibau so I’m sure he’ll take that trade off legacy wise

Khabib was in control the whole round I don’t even know how anyone could give it to Justin.

I always thought it was being very generous to assume Justin was some grappling master because he used to wrestle like a decade ago. It has been very clear for a while that he spends very little time grappling at all, and probably even less time actually working off his back and defensively.

I thought it was very telling how Ben Askren said his wrestling suffered immensely when it wasn't his focus even for a fight or two.
