I don’t see how the argument of khabib cuts weight so he was the size advantage is valid when hes within a few pounds of his opponents on fight night . Doesn’t make sense to me
This is a troll thread, but I’ll respond since I like the discussion.
We have never seen Khabib against a real MMA wrestler or BJJer. We have seen Colby against both. Khabib wouldn’t be bringing anything to Colby that Colby hasn’t already seen before from bigger, better guys, whereas facing someone with Colby’s wrestling skill would be brand new for Khabib.
Khabib’s issue has always been the glaring lack of depth in competition.
I’ll give it to Khabib that he got out at the right time and keeps his “legacy” in tact. But hiding at 155 will always be a knock. He missed weight multiple times including a brush with death. He even missed weight his last fight, while naked, and still needed a home cooked weigh-in. Many of his best wins were against guys who fought or fight at 145 as well. He lacked budo.
What’s an MMA wrestler/grappler? Shalorous? Breaking the TD record on Trujillo? D1 Gaethje? 4th degree BJJ Blackbelt RDA who Khabib ran through and took Colby down 4 times?
Colby has never fought a Russian wrestler grappler. You’re basing this statement off Colby’s losses to Usman lol
