Khabib is not Eddie Alvarez

[flowoftruth]

Fans need to stop comparing a grappling world champion to a hapless brawler. Their styles are not similar. In just a few short hours all u fools who parrot this bs will understand the difference.

agreed, Eddie has multiple top wins in his career... and actually fights top competition.

Agreed, Eddie has better defense on the feet

 

[toutadixballes]

Alvarez is a good brawler, Khabib is a high level wrestler.

People who compare them are delusional.

Eddie Alvarez isn't Barbara Streisand. (No one's comparing those two either)

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

And Conor isn't Al Iaquinta

Who compares Khabib to Alvarez?

agreed, Eddie has multiple top wins in his career... and actually fights top competition.

Don’t forget, Eddie finished RDA in the very first round. TS is right, He isn’t Eddie.

Agreed. Conor is going to be just another can on Khabib's list of wins.

Khabib is not Eddie Alvarez

Great observation.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

It is an entirely different match-up.

Khabibs wrestling and ground game is far superior to Eddies, but Eddie is miles above him in striking.

The fight itself isn't difficult to break down.

If it stays standing, Conor eats him alive. If it hits the ground, Khabib mauls him.

The whole thing boils down to who can control the distance.

Y'all have no idea who Eddie Alvarez is

agreed. Eddie is a world-class fighter who has proven himself time and time again, in multiple promotions.

No one really knows what Khabib will do when he is tested, because he doesn't have the experience against elite fighters.

Also one of them is boring. And it's not Eddie.

You’re right, Eddie knocked out the dominant LW champ and #4 ranked WW RDA for the title where as Khabib decisioned an unranked remax broker...

Nailed it.

Eddie is moving out of his prime but the Eddie that Conor dismantled would beat any version of Khabib.
