"I Would Beat Khabib" Says Two-Time Olympic Gold Medalist

[Torrid]

Her quote is less stupid than the TS made it sound.

What she said is still stupid, but there's no reason to twist it.

 

[punky brewster]

She'd need to come correct for him to get on the mat with her

 

[tasticles]

She's close in weight to Khabib and specified she could beat him in Judo.

Rousey fought at 135 and claimed she could possibly beat the HW champ in MMA.

Still a retarded and delusional statement from her. strength and power plays a pretty significant role in being able to execute the throws in real time

 

[The Schmoop]

I already hate you, woman

exactly. there's a huge difference

 

[HelloJapan]

in a Judo match.

 

[Psychojoe86]

So annoying. Besides khabib wouldn’t fight a woman.

Not a fan of these absurd call outs.

 

[Hatorade]

She's close in weight to Khabib and specified she could beat him in Judo.

Rousey fought at 135 and claimed she could possibly beat the HW champ in MMA.

With a little training, Khabib could probably hold his own against the current #1 male Judo practitioner in the world (in his weight class).

He would absolutely fucking demolish this woman in a Judo match 100/100 times.......GTFO

 

[sherdogwantedtonamemekiki]

Ronda Harrison?

Kayla Rousey?

 

[Fight Professor]

Rousey fought at 135 and claimed she could possibly beat the HW champ in MMA.

An ex-HW champ who is perpetually injured which was implied by “under the right circumstances”.

Come to think about it, Khabib is injury prone too.

 

[Taric]

There really isn't when it comes to professional athletes.

The fastest woman on the planet is slower than top tier high school track stars. It's just biology.

I tried to explain why. People dont understand how this stuff works. It can be thought of as wrestling. Yes of course technique is important but how are you going to take your opponents balance if you dont have the strength to force them to move?

 

[Dionysian]

Either she doesn't know that Khabib has extensively trained in Judo, is an idiot, or is saying it just to garner interest knowing it is BS.

EIther way, not a big deal. Let's move on.

 

[mkess101]

First of all, she's not beating Khabib in judo or any other combat sport. Let's just get that out of the way.

But...

If you know anything about her, this isn't the same as when people were talking about Rousey/Cain or any of that idiocy. Harrison physically is MUCH different than Rousey:

She is built more like a man. She's likely insanely physically strong for a woman. Still miles below someone like Khabib because it's just the way it is physiologically, but she's closer to Khabib than Ronda ever was to any 135 lb male fighter from a pure strength standpoint.

The other (and way more important imo) part of this is the fact that since she first phrases it as a question ("Am I gonna beat Khabib?"), that says she almost surely was ASKED about competing against Khabib (be it in judo or whatever). She didn't bring it up, the interviewer did. So, she gave her opinion. She thinks she could beat him in judo. She's wrong, but why is it a big deal that she has that confidence? I say good for her if she thinks she'd beat him.

Also, she is managed by Ali just like Khabib is. Pretty good chance Ali (who knows how to get media attention for his fighters) had a hand in setting this up to get Harrison more attention on the eve of Harrison starting her run to the $1m PFL tourney prize.

 

[Serenity Now]

Ill beat her in a Street match.

Ronda does destroy Under-Anesthesia Cain inside a round.

 

[mkt]

Both are ridiculous, but there are clearly levels to ridiculousness. Rousey couldn't beat Kane the pro wrestler in a real fight, much less Cain V.

 

[Oeshon]

LOL

please let it happen. I would love to see a woman try to fight a man so they can truly know their place. It doesn't even have to be Khabib. Just pick the worst guy in the UFC

 

[frye666]

Meh..... Maybe she could. She is pretty fucking man like and Judo has a pretty specific rule set that she knows a hell of a lot better than khabib.

 

[Tuf_guy]

Not this shit again.
