@@keyboardwarrior6591 Jones kicking game, clinch and elbows is superior tho. It’s not boxing it’s MMA striking can’t just say Islam is better at one thing and negate the fact Jones is far better at kicking, elbows and knees. Also have to factor in Jones stood with legit kick-boxers and outstruck them without even trying to take them down Islam just takes all the strikers down whenever he feels like he’s getting tagged. Edit: 100% the most complete since Jones but come back to me when you have 2 belts and 10+ title defenses before your getting called more complete, Jones took down Olympic calibre wrestlers, submitted multiple black belts and outstruck multiple elite strikers in Islams title matches so far he’s fought a two strikers and a jiu jitsu guy with good striking who gets dropped by literally everyone. Impressive, yeah but better then jones nah he’s just not had anywhere near the amount of tests to confidently state that.

Also fighters always train almost daily for hours fight or no fight the difference with a camp is they put more hours and make it bespoke to the guy they're fighting and islam prepared for charles so it was also short notice for him. Don't just throw short notice out there analyse how it was different for each guy and how they may have been affected. Truth is that head kick was coming whether it was full camp volk or short notice because it happened so soon and volk has a tendency to block with 1 hand and in high level mma an X block is required.

Can’t just go around comparing him to guys with multiple belts or 5+ title defences. Gsp, DJ, Jones, Anderson, Cormier, Aldo, Cruz, Cejudo and even Izzy have to be ranked higher of the strength they’ve competed at the top way longer. Khabibs best wins are against McGregor post mayweather when he wasn’t training consistently and was drinking and sniffing coke every week, poirier who has lost to Olivera and gaethje and Gaethje who’s lost to a 145er and Olivera. What would happen if khabib fought someone like Volkanovski who’s hard to take down and doesn’t get tired and has 10x better striking? He’d probably lose imo, especially if he fought Volk in Perth the night Islam fought him. Khabib was a specialist eventually he’d have run into someone rounded enough to beat him, Islam is way more dynamic and imo will end up top 5 all time Khabib doesn’t have the resume to warrant it unfortunately. Why not just say he’s your favourite fighter? It would make more sense in all honesty.

[@peterherrman5092]

I disagree with all those guys here who say their religion is the biggest factor. Otherwise there should be more Elite fighters from the middle east and some other regions. imo it has a bit more to do with the fact that they take some sunnah like wrestling much more serious, which made it basically a part of their religion and national/cultural identity. Also some historical/cultural aspects are relevant. like the fact wrestling plays a big role in basically every central Asian and Caucasian culture which shouldve complemented the positive influence. Would be interesting to know which influence was stronger. On the one hand basically all these regions were dominated by Islam for a long time. On the other hand pagan turks and mongols also practiced it for a very long time before they converted. I think the training methods employed by the ussr can also be taken seriously into consideration.
