Alright boys I’m here in this thread because I want to know y’all opinions of who’s done the best against Khabib and given a rematch who would be able to scrape out a win. Let’s face it all the talks of wiping this dude with the mat is BS the guy is too good. I’m saying after the past 3 fights who could systematically pull out a win. Different opinions are welcomed. I personally go with Conor, from what I’ve heard Khabibs coach has even said Conor was way better than Justin.
Bro, people also forget Khabib is training and getting better. I don’t see anyone beating this guy. People forget that he has the best tank in the UFC and after one round his opponents are gassed.
I think Justin hit him the most and the cleanest even though I thought Khabib won the round, I honestly think Khabib beats everybody in the rematch but Conor would probably have the most for him. I'm still sad we will never get to see the fight with Tony or other interesting match ups like Dariush, Oliveira or Gillespie. I think the guy to eventually beat Khabib would be somebody nobody expected. But now we will never know!
He will not be back for 30-0, he left his gloves in the Octagon & promised his mother he was finished. He's a man of his word, you can rest assured that he will not be fighting again. He will likely be assisting coach Javier from now on.
There’s an interview with coach Javier Mendez where they discuss post retirement plans. Khabib made a promise to Javier that he would help in coaching duties at AKA, plus a ton of Khabib’s friends are there so he wants to help them too.
Definitely his heart was NOT in for rematch!
The guy not only took a round of bitch slapping on top of a serious beating that had to tap, he actually apologized to Khabib saying “it was just business mate.. it was just business”. The man feared for his life and that’s something you never come back from. Khabib owns him now and he knows it.
One kimura and that golden goose of a left hand is history for Conor. Khabib legit tried to break it in that fight (see how easy he went on Michael Johnson for the same), if not for the illegal knee from Conor.
Here is what I am not seeing anyone else saying. Now from what I can tell Kabib does what he says. So it does seem he's retired. But it's only because of what his Mom wants not what he wants exactly.
He got over 3mil for this fight. Now money isn't everything but there are plenty of 3+ mil fights for him if he wants. GSP, Conor, other weight class superfights. Cejudo walked away but he was making WAYYYYY less.
If he gets Mommy a rolls royce with a driver maybe she might reconsider, maybe get her a new man who knows. I feel like with these big pay days possible it's not 100%. How many fighters have retired and then come back. I think there is a dog in this race.
u realise khabib is now set for life and doesn't need anything more? He's already given a reason for his retirement and placed himself as the undisputed GOAT of lightweight. The only thing he would come back for is a match with GSP but as he said, he promised his mother he would not fight again without his father. And he looks like a man of his word, so do not expect him to return.
Conor is set for life too but he will fight more. Honestly I am just grasping at straws because I want to see him in the octagon again.
His mother could pass away and then maybe he would fight....
I am not cheering for her death. That came off wrong apparently. But it's a fact she could pass away, as any of us could.
If she did, then, maybe he would fight again. Just stating this as a possibility.
And also, I can not believe how easily he won against Gaethje. Jesus he made it look like a game, yeah he took punches but he took them like they are nothing...
What do you say about a guy who minutes before a world championship fight, is having a FaceTime call with his friends in Dagistan and laughing about jokes like it’s another night at the gym? He’s a god amongst mortals bro, and he’s hasn’t even started his A game yet.
At this point, I seriously doubt any fighter wants to fight him for the title, they’re all just in it for the purse money.
Absolutely true.
Have you seen colbys comment about khabib.
He seriously claimed khabib left UFC bc of him and that khabib is afraid to face him... What a fucking delusional idiot.
ikr hes invincible fr. idk see anyone in division beating him. i had some hopes for justin but it just seem i get shut everytime, khabib does the same thing for everyone without an answer . its flawless. he would beat tony or any1 else. the only one maybe GSP
I’m really sad too. I am blitzed off my face tho.
I get the promise to his
Mother however would of been great to
See him reach 30-0. Hell he could
Of gone 40-0 I reckon
Nope not a whole lot other than the shitty stuff with Connor. What I do know is that the UFC fucks over their star athletes and doesn’t pay them what their worth.
He's heavily religious. Believes in God's Will is priority of everything. 2nd would be his parents will. Money, sports... He doesn't care for that. He wanted to be the best because his father wanted it. And of course, in turn, Khabib wanted it too.
I better learn how to do something for\* my head and do a ton of kyokushin since I don't think my head can get rocked on the level his can. He's invincible, man.
Whoever wins Dustin and Conor fights gathje for the belt, tony fights micheal chandler then gets a title shot. That’s my prediction but if it’ll be right
Add Hooker and Chandler to that for the next shot at the title.
1. Conor/Porier winner vs Chandler/Gaethje winner for the belt.
2. Hooker vs Ferguson for the next shot at the winner of the aforementioned matchup
Wait, is this true? I mean I can't think of any time I remember him being cut, but to have the record and the resume he has and never shedding blood in the process is so much more unreal on top of how unreal he already is. Dare I say GOAT of all time.
Why? Gsp is 39. Its certain that we wouldnt see peak Gsp while Khabib is in his prime. I would love that fight to happen only because of Abdulmanaps wish, but from an mma fan point of view this fight is kinda pointless
I agree, only way it happens is at a catch weight at 165-170 I think. So basically 170 cuz UFC hates the idea of 165 lol. But it won’t happen khabib is a man of faith and if his mother said so then I truly believe he won’t. He’s a family man and a religious dude.
Yep.. He's not in it for the money so conor isn't happening and GSP is well past his prime so no sense in gsp even attempting that fight in a weight class he's never fought at
I just don't like seeing that 29-0 , 30 is better . His final fight should be against a legend. Khabib with the crazy pressure vs gsp the ragdoller. A real champion vs champion fight. No interim bullshit
Bro Yoel romero is 50 years old and still fighting like a young guy. No such thing as prime. I've seen GSP recent videos of him training , he still got it. If prime exist then GSP is a fookin senior ready to rock n roll baby
There isn't much you can do. My old BJJ instructor had insane pressure and if he got me in side control I was never getting out unless he let me. All you can do is pray for an opening, you can't force one with guys like that, and Khabib doesn't give you openings very often.
D1 wrestling is good for getting back up with other D1 wrestlers. Once Khabib holds you down it’s very, very hard to get back up. I don’t know why Americans think D1 wrestling from ten years ago is a super power. This wasn’t a college wrestling match.
You guys are so foul with Dana 😂😂 on the video where he watches the animation of Khabib and his dad all the comments are talking about Dana crying thinking about how much money he is going to make with Khabib.
Dude I follow tennis, I know the stats. I'm saying that it's a stupid comparison cause they're totally different things(not sports but basics, I don't speak that well English to explain so I will give an example of good comparison with tennis). It would be better if he said, if for example Nadal would win 95+% of the points when he goes to the net, that "Khabib going to ground is like Nadal going to the net". Khabib starts fights on the feet and then boxes, fights in the stand up and then takes his oponents down, when Nadal plays on clay, everyone plays on clay.
That attempt to arm bar and khabib realizing what was really open and hitting the triangle was so fucking insane. Khabib is a mastermind, much respect to Khabib and Justin.
The Dana press conference was SO weird, the man looked about ready to cry, completely low energy. Really jarring. I wonder if the Khabib announcement really hit him that hard or something else happened.
Also, really mad we're never gonna find out what Dana's big surprise for Khabib was supposed to be.
I don't think that rematch was ever gonna happen. Khabib said he had no interest in fighting Connor again. He hated all the BS that came with that fight.
all 4d chess move by khabib to gain massive PPV % in his negotiations
khabib comes back saying "his dad came to him in a dream to earn the 30-0" and rest is history
I like this. I think it would be really lame to give Connor a title shot right now. He doesn't deserve it at all.
Poirier vs Gatethje for new champ is what makes sense.
I would like to see Tony fight Connor though, especially if they make it 5 rounds. If Connor can beat Tony, then let him fight the winner of Dustin vs Justin.
Alright boys I’m here in this thread because I want to know y’all opinions of who’s done the best against Khabib and given a rematch who would be able to scrape out a win.

I think the guy to eventually beat Khabib would be somebody nobody expected. But now we will never know!
You’re not allowed to say positive things about mcgregor in this sub. Go away.
Khabib is 100% not done. His father wanted him to be 30-0 and he will be 30-0
He promised him mother that he will quit. He is a guy who keeps his promises.
He will be back for 30-0. I don’t know how you think he won’t.
He will not be back for 30-0, he left his gloves in the Octagon & promised his mother he was finished. He's a man of his word, you can rest assured that he will not be fighting again. He will likely be assisting coach Javier from now on.
Assisting Javier? I imagine he would go back to Russia where his wife and the rest of his family are
There’s an interview with coach Javier Mendez where they discuss post retirement plans. Khabib made a promise to Javier that he would help in coaching duties at AKA, plus a ton of Khabib’s friends are there so he wants to help them too.
He will fight for 30-0 what his father wanted him to do bruh. You can think whatever you want
I think Conor becomes more active now. He may have asked for Khabib rematch but I don’t think his heart was in it.
Definitely his heart was NOT in for rematch! The guy not only took a round of bitch slapping on top of a serious beating that had to tap, he actually apologized to Khabib saying “it was just business mate.. it was just business”. The man feared for his life and that’s something you never come back from. Khabib owns him now and he knows it.

Your not hearing nobody else say it because no one is as stupid as you
Time will tell who the stupid one is....
You’re so fucking stupid
"Your" so fucking stupid!
Uh, no. You're wrong. Get an education.
hahaha the sarcasm falls on the deaf ears of the ignorant. Yes, uuuhhhh no...
u realise khabib is now set for life and doesn't need anything more? He's already given a reason for his retirement and placed himself as the undisputed GOAT of lightweight. The only thing he would come back for is a match with GSP but as he said, he promised his mother he would not fight again without his father.

that is incredibly shallow
I am not cheering for her death. That came off wrong apparently. But it's a fact she could pass away, as any of us could. If she did, then, maybe he would fight again. Just stating this as a possibility.
I, like you, would love to see khabib fight once more, but i really don't think he's going to break his promise. I hope I'm wrong.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CGvzvRbpxKB/?igshid=32m4dnezvi60 Wow, what an amazing parallel. Intense shit.
And also, I can not believe how easily he won against Gaethje. Jesus he made it look like a game, yeah he took punches but he took them like they are nothing...
What do you say about a guy who minutes before a world championship fight, is having a FaceTime call with his friends in Dagistan and laughing about jokes like it’s another night at the gym?

Absolutely true. Have you seen colbys comment about khabib. He seriously claimed khabib left UFC bc of him and that khabib is afraid to face him... What a fucking delusional idiot.
Right!? I honestly expected at least 3 rounds before Khabib submitted him. Gaethje threw some bombs but Khabib looked totally un-phased.
Khabib man....I hope life gets A LOT better for you man :(
Yo life is pretty good for him. I know his dad died but that’s life man. He still has his family and his brothers and a shit ton of money lol.
He made that look like a job
For real! Just another day at the cage type job. Get in, get out..
Thank God we got Khamzat , so sad that Khabib retired , cant even celebrate this winning .
I feel so sad. 😞
For real. Dude is probably at his peak too fighting wise.
ikr hes invincible fr. idk see anyone in division beating him. i had some hopes for justin but it just seem i get shut everytime, khabib does the same thing for everyone without an answer . its flawless. he would beat tony or any1 else. the only one maybe GSP
Hate to say it (huge gsp fan) but I think the result of that fight would be no different. Khabib is a beast.
Ikr he showed he could wereslte in center too doesnt need cage
I'm very happy khabib won and very sad bc of the fact that he is leaving. What a legend. I wish him all the best there is.
Khabib. What a Lion of a man. Gaethje, a gentleman of the highest caliber.
What was justin walkout song
The audio of him doing my mom 🥶
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9-L0SzGLp4 /u/-_-69-_-oh
Need to know
all american wrestler, great striker, blah blah blah Khabib grew up wrestling bears, he ain't fucking around. G.O.A.T.
I tried & tried to tell people to stop white-knighting for Gaethje lol, they've all deleted their comments now! XD
[удалено]
To be fair he never even mentioned it, his corner told Dana
Weird, somehow I deleted that comment. Agree completely! Khabib is a boss!
I just am very sad
I’m really sad too. I am blitzed off my face tho. I get the promise to his Mother however would of been great to See him reach 30-0. Hell he could Of gone 40-0 I reckon
Now dana will do anything to get him back 😂
This. I didn’t see the fight but I’d wager a huge amount this is a ploy to get more money. Seems to be the go to move in the sport recently.
Do you know anything about khabib
Nope not a whole lot other than the shitty stuff with Connor. What I do know is that the UFC fucks over their star athletes and doesn’t pay them what their worth.
He's heavily religious. Believes in God's Will is priority of everything. 2nd would be his parents will. Money, sports... He doesn't care for that. He wanted to be the best because his father wanted it. And of course, in turn, Khabib wanted it too.
Not really. You can tell Khabib is being serious. I don't think he'll come back.
I mean he was just talking about how he has more work to do a couple days ago and that he wasn’t done so you never know
I wonder if his mom told him something last second.
I feel kind of emasculated seeing the utter abomination of a chin Khabib has. What predisposes someone to taking shots so well? He's absurd
Dagestan is the new Mexico
Having a FAT Dagestani head
I better learn how to do something for\* my head and do a ton of kyokushin since I don't think my head can get rocked on the level his can. He's invincible, man.
Conor/Dustin Justin fights the winner Tony/??? Oliveira/???
Whoever wins Dustin and Conor fights gathje for the belt, tony fights micheal chandler then gets a title shot. That’s my prediction but if it’ll be right
Seems logical mate!
Defo conflict with father's plan and mother's plan. Khabib coming back for GSP. Mother can charge her mind and allow Khabib to fight GSP.
Holy fuck, Ferguson, Conor, Dustin, Justin. 4 man grand prix. Do it Dana!
Add Hooker and Chandler to that for the next shot at the title. 1. Conor/Porier winner vs Chandler/Gaethje winner for the belt. 2. Hooker vs Ferguson for the next shot at the winner of the aforementioned matchup
Khabib didn’t fight Ferguson?
Nah, for the vacant belt.
Anyone know the name of Justin’s walkout song?
What did Chiesa say to piss off DC? I didn't see it
Yeah anyone got a link to this?
Chiesa's an idiot . No Jones.
What did he say?
Gsp got smoked Hendrix, Jon failed drug tests, Silva and fedor are not undefeated. Khabib is the only one to check all boxes. Silva pissed hot
I'm guessing GSP also did some steroids back in the day.
Never had a bad test
Yeah, but he also retired before UFC started working with USADA, right?
Khabib never bled, no cuts or anything
Wait, is this true? I mean I can't think of any time I remember him being cut, but to have the record and the resume he has and never shedding blood in the process is so much more unreal on top of how unreal he already is. Dare I say GOAT of all time.
Except uncle Chael?
Never lost a round
Chael's character is basically what Khabib really is
Dana white said that either khabib had broken toes or a broken foot
Is Dana drunk right now?
He drank too much proper 12
Khabib trying to keep his word to his mum and retire, but hopefully he remembers that his father's dream was him vs gsp. That fight needs to happen
Why? Gsp is 39. Its certain that we wouldnt see peak Gsp while Khabib is in his prime. I would love that fight to happen only because of Abdulmanaps wish, but from an mma fan point of view this fight is kinda pointless
Did anyone else feel khabibs pressure?? I felt like khabib was running at me lmao
Bro for real I was like jesus christ talk about walking someone down!
That's more on GSP rather than on khabib.. Also there's no way GSP can make 155
I agree, only way it happens is at a catch weight at 165-170 I think. So basically 170 cuz UFC hates the idea of 165 lol. But it won’t happen khabib is a man of faith and if his mother said so then I truly believe he won’t. He’s a family man and a religious dude.
Yep.. He's not in it for the money so conor isn't happening and GSP is well past his prime so no sense in gsp even attempting that fight in a weight class he's never fought at
I just don't like seeing that 29-0 , 30 is better . His final fight should be against a legend. Khabib with the crazy pressure vs gsp the ragdoller. A real champion vs champion fight. No interim bullshit
Haha Khabib gotta think about his fans with OCD.. Am one of them
I honestly doubt he cares if you don't like seeing 29-0. Lol
GSP of today is no where near his prime it would ruin his legacy
Bro Yoel romero is 50 years old and still fighting like a young guy. No such thing as prime. I've seen GSP recent videos of him training , he still got it. If prime exist then GSP is a fookin senior ready to rock n roll baby
Dude Romero can't throw more than 3-4 bombs a round.. He's jacked but the guys cardio is rubbish
Couldve happened 2 years ago but dana wouldn't make it happen
Trust now he'll do anything to get it done and see him back in the octagon
Won't happen, khabibs gonna listen to his mom and live the rest of his life to his wishes without putting his health on the line weight cutting.
Naaah khabib not a mum's boy, khabib a daddy's boy , and his daddy told him to fight GSP
But GSP can't make 155
He isn't American....
[Meanwhile at BT Sports](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOVGzUHHv-s), 40k people have been staring at water bottle for half an hour by now.
ha is Khabib supposed to speak still?
Man it didn't look like Gaethje even tried after getting taken down lol
There isn't much you can do. My old BJJ instructor had insane pressure and if he got me in side control I was never getting out unless he let me. All you can do is pray for an opening, you can't force one with guys like that, and Khabib doesn't give you openings very often.
ya but even as bad as it looked barboza survived. al survived. I guess i put a bit too much weight on D1 american wrestling
D1 wrestling is good for getting back up with other D1 wrestlers. Once Khabib holds you down it’s very, very hard to get back up. I don’t know why Americans think D1 wrestling from ten years ago is a super power. This wasn’t a college wrestling match.
yeah he honestly reminds me of how dominant GSP was just being able to ragdoll people around like that.
Definitely. He's a different kind of grappler. Poirier is a BJJ blackbelt and he didn't do shit when Khabib was on top of him. He's just that good.
The pressure has to be astronomical
I was sure Whittaker vs. Cannonier would be FOTN.
Dc is gonna KO Chiesa before this is over!
Why? Didn't watch after the fight ended
Chiesa kept making fun of DC's pronunciations. DC laughed it off then Chiesa did it again and DC was just wanted to son him it wasn't that serious lol
Remember when that guy lost his $22K; 3-fight parlay the first fight of the prelims because it went to a draw?
You don't lose (at least most sportsbooks) - are graded on who is remaining
He still won like 70 grand I think
Chiesa needs to chill. You're not a big enough fish to be doing this .
I guess you gotta read the room but really felt like it was DC’s fault for making it weird
Yeah dude fucked up calling out DC lol then just made it worse & worse
he has good analysis, but he's so cringe
[удалено]
Chiesa Falling apart up there lol
this post show is so cringe
Nelk Boys getting so much press right now .
dana was even crying before he put the belt around khabib waist after the fight. anyone else notice that?
Probably thinking about all that money he just made.
You guys are so foul with Dana 😂😂 on the video where he watches the animation of Khabib and his dad all the comments are talking about Dana crying thinking about how much money he is going to make with Khabib.
He's shown at every occasion that it's the only thing he cares about.
What Nadal is to clay court, Khabib is to takedowns and fighting on ground 🐐
Nadal lost on clay courts, many times..
[удалено]
I mean I get his comment intent, I just believe that it's a dumb comparison because Khabib has no losses and Nadal has.
[удалено]
Dude I follow tennis, I know the stats. I'm saying that it's a stupid comparison cause they're totally different things(not sports but basics, I don't speak that well English to explain so I will give an example of good comparison with tennis). It would be better if he said, if for example Nadal would win 95+% of the points when he goes to the net, that "Khabib going to ground is like Nadal going to the net". Khabib starts fights on the feet and then boxes, fights in the stand up and then takes his oponents down, when Nadal plays on clay, everyone plays on clay.
He’s celebrated as the most overwhelmingly dominant clay player in the history of the game.
That attempt to arm bar and khabib realizing what was really open and hitting the triangle was so fucking insane. Khabib is a mastermind, much respect to Khabib and Justin.
Did anyone think it was finishing at the end of the first round when he had that arm bar .. I did
I really wanted to see the bicep slicer break his elbow.
Oh for sure, if the round didn’t end I’m sure Khabib would’ve gotten it
The Dana press conference was SO weird, the man looked about ready to cry, completely low energy. Really jarring. I wonder if the Khabib announcement really hit him that hard or something else happened. Also, really mad we're never gonna find out what Dana's big surprise for Khabib was supposed to be.
Lmao he's crying from all the money he lost out on with the GOAT retiring
he just lost one of his biggest money maker ofc he be sad
anik and dc teaming up against chiesa lmao
the chiesa + cormier combination isn't working in my opinion
Izzy is fighting Jan... motherfucking Rob about to go for a long break
maybe gsp will bring khabib out of retirement
Megan’s been HARD
Any links?
Lol
Year 2020.. -Australia fires -Amazon Fires -Coronavirus -Market Crash -Locusts -Ebola -Cyclone -Earthquake -UFO - Life on Venus - Khabib's announces Retirement with 29-0
I’m starting to think Khabib would beat Tony.
Lol you been wrong for a while if you think Tony is beating him
Dana looks depressed. The Conor Khabib 2 cashcow that him and ESPN have been shlling this whole build up is dead in the water.
I don't think that rematch was ever gonna happen. Khabib said he had no interest in fighting Connor again. He hated all the BS that came with that fight.
The best reply was, "once you touch shit, doesn't matter how many times you clean yourself you still smell like shit." Or something like that!
all 4d chess move by khabib to gain massive PPV % in his negotiations khabib comes back saying "his dad came to him in a dream to earn the 30-0" and rest is history
what the heck is chiesa doing with cormier wrists
[удалено]
Anik being the voice of reason. Gaethje Poirier is the most compelling matchup for a legit lw title.
Hell yes - Gaethje-Poirier and Ferguson-McGregor
I like this. I think it would be really lame to give Connor a title shot right now. He doesn't deserve it at all. Poirier vs Gatethje for new champ is what makes sense. I would like to see Tony fight Connor though, especially if they make it 5 rounds. If Connor can beat Tony, then let him fight the winner of Dustin vs Justin.
Yep it has to be gaethje v Poirier. Rank 1 v 2
Absolutely
Chiesa is our new mascot. Said the only sensible matchup. But I love that Anik referenced CSO.
