He’s given over a hundred interviews since he “retired”. At 30 As all men do as mom wants you to retire at 30. Now don’t give me danger it’s not a too 100 hazardous let alone deadly occupation. Especially by money Khabibs an awesome fighter. Dariush and Islam has shitty resumes. At least Islam has been active and I don’t want to see poirer gaetje or chandler fight for s title. But Islam should have to beat someone. His best wins are hooker green. And Arman. Those guys short notice and had a combined 5 weeks to fight Islam.

[@benlewis5312]

I agree with Khabib. The best fighters aren’t the ones that finish fights the quickest, but those who are so dominant that they receive virtually zero damage in their fights. Khabib and Schevchenko don’t finish their fights quickly, but they are in control of the fight the entire time. They don’t get dropped or bleed. I believe Islam is of the same breed

[@forthelordoflords10]

No. Styles make different fights, and Khabib did not fight ground specialists like Charles, like Gillespie, like Dariush, etc.. So Khabib talking about not being hurt is irrelevant, because he won't be above to hurt Charles on the feet, and he has never fought a ground specialist who can negate his submissions and threaten him from the back.

[@andreasfriberg9325]

@@forthelordoflords10 ehhh, rda is a bjj black belt? You really dont understand what you are takling about. The thing that made khabib unbeatabable was his relentless pressure. Yes, his striking is not perfect, but the pressure allways opened up possibilities for some strikes to land.

@Maxwell I've been in this community for a very long time. Mma community is the most racist and toxic in all sports. Sorry for judging, coz he may not be racist, but there are many who are. You must be new to the community or born yesterday to dismiss it. When fans have nothing to counter khabib in terms of his perfect fighting career they resort to personal rcist hatred like attacking and slandering his wife, his goat farming passion, his religious practices, etc. There are so many mma pages where it's so blatant how much people hate on these muslim fighters. Watch belal's post fight interview where he said Americans from crowds called him dirty arab although he being an American himself. Usman still receives tonne of hate despite being p4p 1.
