Is khabib proof MMA has not evolved at all?

Besides his boxing and muay thai. Khabib might be one of the most multi-dimensional fighters on the roster. Nobody's combing the amount of techniques that Khabib is.

That dude is doing everything. We don't see most fighters even attempt suplexes, slams or judo throws. How many fighters trap legs and arms like Khabib does and then GnPs? He's doing BJJ and all that combined. He's even trying his hand at striking.

lol @ making such a massive aspect of MMA seem small so you can talk your boy up.
 
u are dumb, one dimension? does conor makes some flick flaks or what? he strikes to land the left, what else does conor do ? ( one dimensional ?). that guy cant grapple, wrestle nothing.
wtf u complaining about?

takedown attemps from different angles
grappling
clinch
ground and pound
etc.
thats not one dimensional, thats a lot of skill. khabib is a high level grappler not a circus artist.


Exactly!!!! ;) Look how few seconds Connor lasted on the ground with Nate before giving up his neck. Once he hit the ground, it was over. He had absolutely nothing to offer. His ground game blows compared to Barboza's, who admirably did a good job of not getting caught in a submission despite the constant beatdown. If poor little Connor finds himself on the ground against Khabib, I think he won't fare anywhere near as well as Barboza did. He will be slaughtered. On the other hand, if Connor catches Khabib standing..... But anywho, Khabib shows an infinitely more rounded game than Connor ever has.

He tries his hand at boxing and muay thai, that's a lot more than the other guys who don't even have an inkling of an attempt of what Khabib does at Judo, suplexes and arm/leg traps.
 
Khabib is proof high level grappling is (still and always) a PITA to defend against

He specializes in it just like a QB specializes in throwing (QBs can also run and tackle but they rarely do or how some NBA players specialize in passing assists or defending (some guys can dunk but you would never know cus they don’t do it)

I don't care?
 
Anyone in the 11-15 section could take MJs place.

But what about the 1-10 spot. You say he's the same as the top 15, but what about the top 10 he should have fought. You tell me. Your posts are absolutely meaningless.

I'm reading it right now. MJ beat 3 of the fighters on your top 10, including one just before he fought Khabib.

How on earth is Poirier in #7 but MJ not even top 10? MJ just beat Poirier before he fought Khabib.

And how the hell would Lee even be ranked when Khabib and MJ fought? Lee had wins over unranked nobodies.​

He was landing punches on Barboza standing too, even in the 1st when Barboza was fresh

Nate takes Khabib all day too, too big for Khabib, stuffs all day and lights his shitty boxing on fire.
I can't take this level of stupid... fucking hell man.. mma fans are actually retarded. How does anyone have an opinion so wrong?? How does someone live in reality and come to these conclusions? Nate has been grapple fucked by mich lesser men than khabib
