Who is a greater/better fighter: Khabib or Volkanovski

[markg171]

They had more losses than him too. Losses are what’s remembered most unfortunately. Hey, I was a huge Rhonda and Double J fan, both were champs, both undefeated but if I mention either name you only think about their KO loss, none of their wins and you know it’s true. Fedor, Anderson, GSP, all great but the first fight that comes to mind is the loss. The first thing that comes to your mind about Khabib is 0 losses and that he never fought Bobby Green.

They have more losses because they fought more quality opponents instead of 4-12 Russian bums.

Don't be retarded.

The learning impaired one is you. If Jon Jones got to fight 155 lb guys even though he weighed 205 he could not have done better than Khabib did with 0 losses, 0 broken bones, 0 blood and 0 bruises and still winning every round of every fight. Give Khabib some respect. Fedor’s loss to Hendo, GSP’s loss to Serra were not better opponents than Gaejthe, Porrier and Conor in their prime.

Easy. Khabib, because he would starch Volk in his sleep.

 

[Nightgunner05]

Khabib is the better fighter, but Volk has proven his greatness a lot more.

So the guy who went to a decision with Al Iaquinta would "starch Volk in his sleep".

For the official record:

Thinking that Khabib would beat Volkanovski is a perfectly reasonable opinion.

Thinking that it would be easy for him is a completely ridiculous one.

Jon's literally won more title fights than Khabib even had UFC fights.

In a much weaker division.

Volko decisions almost everybody so when he is fighting, I am the one asleep.

Volk by virtue of beating tough stylistic matchups, which Khabib hasn't so much done.

Yeah Volkanovski vs Ortega was so boring!!

It takes 2 to make for an epic fight. Prime Khabib’s skill level was so high that there was no opportunity for drama. One way traffic with him.

Volk is more well rounded and the 'better' fighter IMO.

 

[Spinkick KO]

Volk, as far as Aussie athletes Alex while having some wrestling background was running around playing 2nd division semi pro rugby in regional NSW at 220lb at 5 foot 5.

Khabib and Islam are the best of Dagestani wrestlers, all the best Australian athletic monsters go to Aussie Rules or Rugby League. Most of the Aussie fighters are athletic rejects, high school dropouts who got into UFC from watching TUF and realised their career options were just bleed or meth and prison.

If the best Australian athletes went into MMA it would be like an emu war, All the American, Brazil and European fighters would have to take up womens soccer to regain their dignity.

Well he didn't exactly fight the best competition. A handful of quality wins, right at the end of his career. Volkanovski would give him fits.

Khabib’s competition is underrated. He ran thru elite fighters such as Gaethje, Dustin, Conor, Barboza, RDA, MJ, like a hot knife thru butter, and he would do the same to Volk.

I disagree.

 

[Arcticman]

I disagree.

you still crying about khabib ? Lol Your are so mad that khabib retired a undefeated happy man and kills some of you.

 

[Noraaq]

I disagree.

What’s Volks path to victory?
KO? He’s not a ko puncher, and Khabib has an iron chin.
Sub? No chance
Decision? He got 4-1d by Khabib lite with a short rehydration time. Slim chance

the odds would be overwhelming in Khabib’s favor.

I'm not even a little mad. I wish him nothing but the best.

The issue is his delusional fanboys pretending that he was some unstoppable force.
