How GOOD was Khabib Nurmagomedov Actually?
Khabib Nurmagomedov is without a doubt one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time. The wrestler from Dagestan dominated everyone that came his way. This lead to him capturing the UFC Lightweight championship, a belt he defended 3 times. And those title fights did huge numbers for the promotion. He retired undefeated with a record of 29-0, leaving the sport as the pound for pound best fighter. But that doesn't necessarily make him the greatest of all time. So how good was Khabib Nurmagomedov actually?

Ben Askren raised an excellent point when discussing the Khabib vs Jones title defences on the Schmozone. He mentioned that the UFC didn't give Khabib a title shot until very late in his career. If he'd been given the chance earlier, he would've had many more championship defences considering he retired undefeated.

people don't realize that khabib had 200 sambo matches and all his fights prior to ufc were not in a cage. his opponents in ufc were handicapped by ufc rules and the octagon which is why he dominated it even more soo than prior ufc competition. all these guys out of the caucasus region are dominant if not really really good competitors in the UFC cause they have been facing tough competition prior to UFC. if khabib fought 16 bums , he would've been exposed in the UFC but that never even happened not even for a round.

The countless times he got involved with law enforcement? How about the countless eye pokes and the twelve to six elbow? He might have more defenses but his career is stained all around, while Khabib was never caught using roids, and never caught in controversy ( despite jump kicking conor team which was hilarious)

[@incidentlyaniguana2193]

@@zenmorte2793 Before I get into this just want to say Khabib is my favorite fighter and I agree that his legacy is much greater than Jones. However, Jones's USADA pops aren't as prolific or as damning as many seems to think. The partying and cocaine usage may speak to him as a person but not as a fighter. The eye pokes are the biggest issues for me, but 12 to 6 elbows are a jokes. Overall, I think the steroid and eyepokes are what prevent him from having a great legacy. But I do think he is the best fighter of all time. Silva has the same steroid issue, I don't really care about his recent losses though as he is clearly over the hill.

Khabibs first 16 openers had a combined total of 19 wins most of them had zero wins and he didn’t face ranked opposition until his last 5 fights GSP’s first 7 had combined 46 wins with 5 of them having less than 2 losses it honestly isn’t even close

[@JLewis1979]

@aditya bramanta I'm not dissing GSP, but Khabib never had to avenge any loses. That's why he's #1. Every time he had a 'tough' opponent in front of him, he worked them over. The only 'knock' anyone could say on his career is that he retired too early.

[@stanleygluegunkelly793]

Khabib does everything great This guy: although he did everything great, he still won

[@hariskhan3761]

100% agree with the greatness and much more challenging career GSP has had. Plus the times his body has broken down and he again n again kept coming back is a virtue of a true competitor and just utter dedication and hardwork. Taking nothing away from the mountain climbing, bear fighting and never losing a round kinda guy who absolutely dominated everybody. Although knowing his game plan everytime, nobody was ever able to stop him. It was a career which nay have the GOAT status 20% questionable but FLAWLESS status undoubtedly belongs to Khabib. Im a GSP fan and I'm a Khabib fan. Would've love to see and pay for tha fight. But so be it. Huge thanks and best wishes to both the fighters and conquerors.

GSP had the longevity that Khabib didn't have.

Loved your energy and your production, as for Jones I'd take a fighter with 4 clean title defences over a fighter with 50 PED tainted ones.

For me he is the best pound for pound UFC champion of all time and the win over McGregor cemented it for me. He totally dominated that fight and made McGregor look very average. It’s not his fault not getting a title shot earlier in his career as I truly think he would have successfully defended it for as long as he was fighting and he showed he could beat the best when he did defend it.

Jones was handed the title shot just after 4 fights. Where khabib had to wait years for a title shot simply cause ufc didn't want him to be the champ, but in the last fights he became the Golden goose for the ufc, which was not something dana wanted to be. Just imagine if khabib trash talked and fought dirty like jones with his opponents and had no moral values or self respect whatsoever, he'd be like twice bigger than conor and ufc had to fondle khabib's balls.

[@SaftonYT]

You summed up the Tibau fight "controversy" perfectly IMO. I remember watching a KZbinr's video on it -- don't recall who -- but he said it best: "At the end of the day, following a close and uneventful fight in which not much happened, the judges scored the bout to the more active fighter." Or something to that effect. It was not a robbery. However, I absolutely believe that Tibau did enough that he probably should have been given at least one of those rounds in all honesty. Just one man's opinion.

[@p1ntu_]

The fact that everyone knows khabib's gameplan and still cannot do anything about it, it's just magnificent. Khabib, in my opinion, is the greatest grappler of this era

[@mewtationnation3554]

100% agree. There just isn’t any way to replicate it in training either. It’s a simple gameplan, but no one can do it as well as him. Just constant pressure and flawless grappling rounded out with insane cardio. I’m his fight with Dustin, you can hear Dustin in his corner between rounds saying “I can’t get him the fuck off me” and he is visibly frustrated by it. Just such a hard thing to deal with in many different levels and demonstrates the importance of grappling as a foundation of MMA.
