Is Khabib ducking 170?

[Ted Williams' head]

All the beta soyboys were ragging on Cyborg for fighting Holly and other 135lbers, but Khabib brags about walking around at 200lbs yet wants to fight at 155 and 145.

So my question has to be is he ducking 170? Does he fear Woodley? Lawlor? RDA? Wonderboy?

I kinda think Wonderboy would beat the shit out of him.

Holy shit I didn't realize he cut so much.

Khabib: Weight cuts without IVs will be ‘difficult’

Хабиб Нурмагомедов: "Мы не имеем права драться на улице. Наши руки – это холодное оружие"

That's crazy. I was going to no right away but after seeing this it's clear he's avoiding 170lbs, that's exactly why anyone cuts weight.

 

[La Paix]

“No, I will never fight at 170. I can make weight. I make 155 all my career, all my amateur career. I make it all the time. Of course, I think about 170 super fight, but I want to say I never fight at 170. never, I know this and I will only fight at 155. I want to show world I can become UFC lightweight champion. This is my motivation,” he concluded.

See You In September!

He will never make championship weight in a lightweight bout.

He's 0-1 so far in his attempts.

Was this a joke or is he serious?

“We’re thinking about 145 now,” he said during a UFC 219 media event. “We’ll see about this, but, first of all I’m going to fight this fight and beat Edson Barboza, and I’m going to fight with [interim 155 champ] Tony Ferguson, and after I’m thinking about going to 145.”

If he makes the weight then he can do whatever
Just don't call out guys in smaller divisions and then refuse to drop the weight... like other certain fighters

They've said before that he will get the belt at 155 and then immediately move up
I wasn't even a fan of the guy until Saturday and I knew this

When was This?
His camp says the exact opposite

Edit: after he missed weight, trying to save face imo

He said it and it has to be a joke due to people saying he should move up

Huge if true

No way he could make 145.

Yeah I'd love to give Khabib and "Optimistic" or "Go Have a Toke" for this 145lb talk.

If a fighter is cutting weight he's avoiding the division above. I think that's pretty clear no?

Its just a knock on effect because you fight at your normal weight then theres also guys cutting a tremedous amount of weight avoiding the division above them.

Unless you’re a great athlete like GSP or Whittaker you’re never going to become champion fighting at your natural weight while there are guys cutting weight.

Khabib would get Mauled at 170 he is too one dimensional, the only reason he is having success at 155 is because the size advantage and his grappling go hand in hand.

what size advantage? he always looks the same against all of his opponents. he was around 170 when he entered the cage against Barbosa, no?

His one-dimensional style seems to work pretty well against all comers . *cough* (25-0)
*coughs* (25-0)
*cough, cough* (25-0)

did I mention he's 25-0? I don't know what else to gauge Khabib's success.

Khabib's a very methodical fighter, he does things step by step, doesn't get ahead of himself. Khabib had issue with a weight cut and now we know that that's under control, Khabib still has unfinished business at 155, which is getting the title.

I believe he's going to make some crazy ass run, watch.

I dont know what he weighed in the cage but the fact that he has missed weight twice proves he is too big for the weight class.

Well lets see how he goes when he has to fight Mcgregor or Ferguson.

He is capable of making a run but the way he closes the distance he is bound to get knocked out sooner or later.

SN bet anytime!

Or it proves he wasn't working with the right people, or disciplined with his diet. This camp he worked with Tyler Minton and by all accounts, his cut went flawlessly.
