Dude Khabib was a fcking monster, no one could touch this kid, dude never bled, never lost a round, never had to go the distance but he did with a few just for experience and pity, on top of all this he was so humble and lived a great straight life.

he lost rounds people just say that to make him seem better

[@danishkhan-pf3lk]

He arguably lost 2 rounds, Arguably.....Did he lost those rounds?

[@asicsjohnson]

He also fought at a deliberately unhealthy weight so he could smother lightweights, pulled out repeatedly, rarely fought in general, refused to even entertain a welterweight fight against Nate Diaz after the tiny and "lesser" McGregor did it twice, AND was shitty to random homeless people but got away with it "because Mooselimb."

it was an amazing era for sure. and all three of them tell an amazing story. conor rose to success from nothing and became bigger than everyone. that eventually got to his head and his greatness essentially consumed him. khabib was this unstoppable force that showed up, took the world by storm and left at the height of his career. tony fought like an animal to get to that spot, fought through pain and suffering like no other and in the end it all caught up to him and he faded away. the fact that between the three of them only one fight happened is such a disappointment. and as someone who is a huge tony fan, it is just sad to see how it all went for him.

Poor Tony, he is definition of giving it your all to the sport, it took his body and his mind. And then there is the other side of the coin, Connor, where arrogance and greed made him into a monster. Khabib it the only who made all the correct choices, I hope future fighters will take him as an example.

I personally believe Tony never fighting Khabib was the best thing that happened to him . Let's face it khabib would have beaten Tony the first time they fought and we wouldn't have goten their decade old rivalry .

[@Sdot-od8jf]

Huge Tony fan but I agree. He would’ve taken insane damage fighting Khabib. We know Tony has no quit, and Khabib’s GnP usually takes you to the brink of defeat, but ultimately his opponents give up rather than go unconscious. It would’ve been a bloody 5 round mutilation.

[@mansholm1768]

When I first started watching this KZbin channel I honestly didn’t really think much of it. I liked more MMA on point and TBF, but THIS video gave me the chills man.. Khabib went from being the most disrespected fighters to getting praised as a legend when he retired. Connors legacy will be talked about for years and man Tony is just this guy who was the most unluckiest man alive.. Never got to fight either of Connor or Khabib, it’s just sad but they really made that light weight div something special

[@MaxwellGriffin001]

"the most disrespected fighters to getting praised as a legend when he retired" - Dude, you were not watching during this time period. They were talking about a title fight as far back as the Trijillo fight. The title eliminator between Khabib and Tony was supposed to take place in Dec 2015. He was always praised by the commentary team and the front office.

[@mansholm1768]

@@MaxwellGriffin001 I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about Khabibs legacy, he’s always been that guy who always got slack if something went wrong, never really got truly supported cause he was a wrestler unbeaten and everyone wanted to see him knocked out. He also got slack for retiring at his peak. But now people look back at him as the legend he deserves to be

[@monzshohag269]

Who said "khabib is most disrespectful". Khabib is a perfect example of a real fighter. No drink, no bad habit, no trash talk, religious, respect his family & fans. He showed his anger because of conor's disrespect. Don't mix it up. Conor was the most disrespectful. He bullied khabib's family, wife, religion & everything. It was a good lesson to conor after being beaten by khabib. & other side tony showed too much attitude but it was a vain. Khabib is the best of all time.

Connor was a diferent beast... A marketing personality which allow ufc to grow bigger and himself, skill wise not as good as khabib, but still very impressive, and tony well tony was TONY, just the wild card of the divison... do i think he'd beat any of these two? no, but its still a joy to watch the man fight.
