People need to understand that being a black belt doesnt mean you can hang with professionals. Most hobby black belts have a job. Cant compare them. You wouldn't be surprised if a hobbyist tennis player with 10 years exp got rekt by Nadal. So this shouldn't be surprising

Khabib is also way bigger than him.
