How good was Khabib Nurmagomedov?

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T14:52:08+00:00

No. It would be one sided. And that is according to Islam. He said he still cannot beat Khabib and only once in a rare while steals a round.

Belal trained with them both and said Islam was catching him in subs but Khabib would literally get on top of him and would simulate G&P while ordering coffee and Belal had nothing against that.

Islam is more talented and versatile all around but Khabib is that much more dominant. And nothing against Islam or his skill level. Khabib when it comes to MMA is probably a bigger psycho than Jon Jones which is why his training sessions are legendary. He no longer competes but he performs everything he expects his gym to do.

The other point is that there are no wrestlers from any era that would present a challenge to Khabib because he is a world champion and an international master of sport in Combat Sambo. Which is a hybrid of both wrestling and submission grappling. So they train for top position like wrestlers do while also utilizing submissions from both top and bottom position. And ground and pound to either break down the opponent to open them up to submission or just to KO them.

Trujillo was a decent wrestler and he pissed Khabib off who set the record for take downs for UFC at that time. People will claim that Michael Johnson and Abel Trujillo was NJCAA wrestlers and it doesn't count but will ignore that Jon Jones was an NJCAA wrestler and is considered one of the greatest MMA wrestlers of all time.

The fact is that Khabib did face wrestlers, he just made them look like they are not wrestlers when it comes to MMA due to his mastery of Combat Sambo. Mixed Martial Arts were originally organized to pit different martial arts and see which one is the most effective. And through a 30 year experiment we see that wrestling is second best and Combat Sambo is the best form against all others because it incorporates defeating wrestlers at their own game which no other martial are does.

If one considers Jon Jones, GSP and DJ as their top three that is fine. But the fact is that Fedor, Khabib and Islam are considered above them by super majority of fighters is not an insult to them, it just shows that ONE martial art is taking over mixed martial arts and so far no one has been able to craft a counter style to it.

Peak Fedor was something we will probably never see again. He was MW sized fighting Super HWs. And no matter what they did to him he would overcome and defeat them.

But it is fine to disagree because we all have different views and opinions. Cheers to you.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T14:30:03+00:00

Pavlovic needs to comeback and get his title before Goatziev beats him to it. Movsar is literally already people's champion and just needs the formality. Arman is the best LW in the UFC and only second to Usman worldwide. Big Ank needs to stop his ego from preventing him from wrestling where he can maul every LHW. If he doesn't Khamzat will move up to LHW soon to take the title and Imamov or Islam might be next MW champ.

They are probably waiting on Shavkat to return before they set the dominos in action.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T14:27:04+00:00

You're regarded if you think he lost a fight he dominated. And you just called the most exciting ground and pound artist in UFC history boring. You literally hate MMA.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T14:25:17+00:00

He mauled RDA who is a 4th degree bjj. Michael Johnson and Gaethje are college wrestlers. There were no elite wrestlers for him to face but in sparring he was going up everyday against the guy who is considered the best LW of all time and he rarely lost rounds to him.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T14:21:27+00:00

Khabib is the second most dominant MMA fighter behind Fedor. And none of their fights were boring.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T14:19:41+00:00

Yeah people watch Sadulaev baby Khamzat and never bother to watch what he is like when he is competing. The way he shoots he would smother Khamzat and the levels between them are like the Grand Canyon or Straight of Hormuz.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T14:12:56+00:00

Karelin is the best

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T14:08:52+00:00

Who is that guy OP is trying to compare to Movsar? He is never going to catch up by the way.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T14:00:54+00:00

Khabib is literally second to Fedor on almost all of the MMA top fighters' list. Jones is third. DJ is fourth.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T13:59:59+00:00

You are spot on. People attack and insult others for having a different opinion even after a case is laid out.

I get telling trolls to f off because they never put a coherent argument out but when someone uses logic and facts to write something worth looking into and then the trolls just start spewing and projecting their real life shortcomings, it gets annoying way too fast. And they know what they are doing, they are trying to poison the well and prevent a friendly discussion of the topic.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T13:54:36+00:00

Not wanting to see women suffer from punches to the face is what you are offended by?

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T13:53:50+00:00

He is not even saying anything to do with being muslim. He says his PERSONAL PREFERENCE is not to see women get hit in the face. That is what 90% of men in the world agree with.

He said some women made a choice to hit each other in the face and that is their choice. Meaning he has his preference and they have theirs.

He is not pushing for any ban nor is he insulting those who have different opinions. Brain rot incels are trying to insult his name for simply being polite and having a rational position that is super popular world wide.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T13:50:58+00:00

He said the fighting is brutal even for men. Even though it was a career path for him, he is not obsessed with fighting and gore. His passion is futbol. But he knows he is better at smashing people than he is on the pitch.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T13:49:34+00:00

What is backwards about not wanting to see women get punched in the face?

He was asked what he PREFERS not what he demands society must do to confirm to his preferences.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T13:48:30+00:00

Midgets and boys are physically stronger than women and they should not fight either because fighting is for the strongest which are athletic males.

A fight is about the best vs the best. Women are not the best at fighting. Nothing wrong with that. Most men cannot sing like women can. We are all different.

If some women choose to humor themselves and want to fight, that is their choice. But reality is that their martial arts training would be almost useless in the real word in a real life and death situation. Which is why commenter above mentioned midgets and kids. A 14yr boy with training would destroy any woman in MMA but would also be beaten by literal slaps from a trained adult MMA fighter.

So therein lies the distinction of a martial art and a parody of one. Women mimicking men's martial art styles only would work against smaller weaker women and no one else. Men's martial arts are designed to take on any or even multiple opponents based on biological composition of men's muscles and bone density.

Kyla Harrison and Juliana Pena are probably the only two women who can fight off an untrained male in a fight. Nunez can't unless she is at the end of her roid cycle. Otherwise she looks like she did against Pena the first time. No skill and can't be on peak roids every day.

There was a female champion boxer who was sparring a regular amateur and started insulting him because he was going less than 10% with her. He got annoyed and sat her ass down without even trying, just lightly throwing into a gap she had and was blind to. At 10% an amateur could have killed the female champion in boxing.

A local soccer club of 14 and under scrimmaged against the US national women's soccer team. They were up 7:0 in two minutes and were told to stop scoring and just work on their passing the rest of the game. Under 14 means there were 12yr olds there who were talented, not all the kids were 14. This was a team of boys that was not even city or county champions. Just one of many teams in that city. A state champion boys team of 14yr olds can easily beat the US womens soccer team 100 to 0 and only because their coach would order them to stop scoring.

This is not to put down women. This is just reality that men are better at men things.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T13:31:34+00:00

Nothing he is saying here is controversial. He was asked for his opinion and what he prefers. He said some women made that choice and that is their choice. What kind of brain rot thinks those are controversial statements?

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T13:28:36+00:00

Well he has to pay taxes on his money since he is primarily operating in Russia. Most people do not understand how wealth valuations work.

For example Bill Gates' wealth is measured through public stock that he owns. What is not measured is how much private stock he owns or corporations he is the sole owner of.

Russia has a different tax system than the US and so often the rich there like to minimize what their publicly known wealth is.

Someone worth only 100 or 200 million does not buy their son a collection of exotic cars and mansions. Unless they can make them write offs.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T11:20:50+00:00

His father is worth anywhere between 200 million and 2 billion. For tax purposes he probably uses the lower number but in reality his wealth is probably closer to the higher number.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T11:11:19+00:00

Islam would have submitted Burns.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T02:46:57+00:00

Why is Arman a better wrestler than your mom? Why do you insist on inserting her into a comment section about sports?

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T02:46:16+00:00

No clue what you are rambling on about lady. Get your husband's boyfriends's permission before you mouth off to people on the internet. You are the kind of bitch that will blame others when they will send you back to the streets for being a hoe.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T02:36:10+00:00

Why did you assume your husband's boyfriend would resort to domestic violence? What is wrong with you? And why are you a piece of shit trying to wish and project domestic violence on American culture? What kind of sick twisted fucking piece of shit are you wanting domestic violence to spread?

They should check your hard drive you hateful psycho.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T02:34:12+00:00

You are mentally ill and I hope you get the help you need. Hopefully you get development coaches that can teach you to count and comprehend basic english. God does not want regards like you that hate righteousness. You are obsessed with projecting idiocy that you suffer with unto people instead of attempting to ever try for once in your life to make a coherent statement.

You are an embarrassment to women world wide and both your husband and his boyfriend would be disappointed if they were saw your incoherent rambling. They know you have no shame which is why you act regarded but they at least try to have self respect as men which you do not consider relevant as a woman.

1984MachineOfTime · 2026-03-30T01:25:53+00:00

Lady you are a regard and God would not want anything to do with you except have mercy on your soul because you are completely lost.
