SavageMMa Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Khabibs first 6 oponents were in matches that were 2 rounds, in order for them to be considered a professional fight they must be 3(or more) rounds at 5 minutes. Khabibs REAL professional record is 22-0 which is still pretty damn good but NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK OR SAY, a 2 round mixed martial arts match is considered an "amateur bout", if they got payed and it was 2 rounds it's still considered an "exhibition bout" There are rules to these things. The fact the UFC or any Athletic commission could recognize these fights as "professional fights" and not "amateur" or "exhibition bouts" is completely baffling, we are giving this guy more credit than he deserves. needless to say, If I had an extra million in the bank I would make sure to fight to get those non professional fights off his professional record. As fans you can even go access pdfs and athletic commissions examples or definitions of a professional mixed martial arts fight, Khabibs first 6 fights can be compared to the ultimate fighter where they fight 2 round exhibition bouts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator001 Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 PFL fight 2 rounders and are professional fights, other orgs have fought 1 round fights that are regarded as pro fights.

damndaniel Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 So his pro record is a lie because his first fights were only 2 rounds? fine.. getting more credit than he deserves? 12-0 in the UFC, including the mauling of Conor. If he beats Tony, he still WONT get the credit he deserves. Khabib haters will start saying he needs to fight Justin, or Conor fans will say he's scared to get sparked by Conor in a rematch, or some other fighter can beat him, etc etc. 28-0, 12-0 in the UFC, UFC Champion Even if he loses to Tony, it was a hell of a run, and he deserves to be called one of the best ever.

10thPlanetKT Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 I mean he is still currently undefeated so whatever matches he had early on to get him to this point were valid imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentor Posted March 21, 2020 Report Share Posted March 21, 2020 31 wins. There is only one emperor, The Last Emperor. He did have a DQ loss in that run though (not that i am saying that his run was less impressive, in fact i think Fedor's run was more impressive, even if you count that DQ loss).

barney Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Also fought Nogueira at his prime and Cro Crop slightly over his prime, but still a beast... this has been your daily reminder that fedor fought zuluzinho and hong man choi while khabib beat rda like he owed him money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stpierrecanada Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Nog 2.5 times, and Absolutely prime Cro Cop, no question. The 2 and 3 HW’s in the whole world at the time behind him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mannetosen Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Khabib's record isn't any worse than Fedor's was at that point of his career, is my point. They both have some bums on there.Zulu wasn't a beast lol. He crushed a couple of cans and then got murdered a bunch of times. BUTTERBEAN submitted him for God's sake.Hong Man Choi wasn't a 'world kickboxing champion', let alone multiple times. He won a regional qualifier to the real Grand Prix by beating up a bunch of sumo wrestlers iirc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mannetosen Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Fedor is probably the best MMA heavyweight of all time, but his record isn't really any better than Khabib's. Khabib's record is impressive, even though he crushed A LOT of cans before going to the UFC.Tony Ferguson, on the other hand, has like the most ridiculous strength of schedule since Dan Henderson.

Rambo Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Off top or my head... Fedor's best opponents: Randleman Nog Cro Cop Arlovski Without googling records, pretty sure both Khabib and Tony have been in much more competitive fights. Evolution to the game. Different level then it was in the 90's. PRIDE was very... iffy... at times. Cro Cop head kicking a dude in a mysterio mask and freak show fights... let's not forget the let em juice to the gills WWF rules mentality. Fight fixing and padding records wasn't above that org (or UFC... see Silva vs Griffin, Jones vs Sonnen) Still, Fedor probably GOAT @ HW. Nobody else really went streaking vs top comp.
