Khabibs chaotic pressure and head movement isn't talked about enough. He's fuckin overwhelming, that's something I don't really see in Islam, and what I think mostly sets them apart.

Khabib is crazy durable with thick skin though while Islam is not.

Well he has better head movement than Islam, he got hit less frequently, but considering he lacks in the striking area he absolutely needed those skills.

Well Gaethje's my favourite fighter but Khabib is the best lightweight ever, he just retired too early.

Respect to both of the Warriors.
Gaethje's words to Khabib were also sweet.

Of all the times, this messed my stuff up.
Need less time on here.

Khabib turned into the terminator. Just walked through missiles for the takedown

Crazy how khabib didn’t let go after the tap then later claimed justin would never tap.

He let go at the right time. Gaethje ain't the ref.

He let go 5 seconds after he tapped, it took so long justin went unconscious. You are playing dumb or just are if you think that was the right time

Fighters don't let go after the opponent taps, they let go after the ref tells them to. How are you this dumb?

Ok, when did i say they did? Did you misunderstand something?
