I'm not going to lie, this made me legit laugh
"Khabib couldn't finish a realtor'
So 'a plumber' came to the sport and became the highest paid fighter, won two belts at different weights simultaneously and got to make over 100 mil boxing Floyd Mayweather.
See how fucking stupid it sounds?"
You kind of have a point.
But Iaquinta is still a real estate agent
Conor stopped being a plumber to persue MMA and dedicated his life to martial arts mastery..its one of the most beautiful rags to riches story in history.
You can't compare it.
People say that about Iaquinta because Iaquinta is literally a part time fighter. He still does real estate. Iaquinta refuses to dedicate his life to MMA.
There's also another reason why. I highlighted the post below, because my response is perfect to talk about that reason
Al was also super short notice. As you said that's not Khabib's fault, but it wasn't the most convincing opponent to be considered the undisputed best fighter in the division.
It's the fact that the UFC crowned Khabib the "undisputed" champ for that win. Nothing excuses that B.S
If it were simply am interium title or a normal fight, no one would criticise. It would simply be looked at as a decent win for Khabib on short notice against a game opponent
But when people try to act like Khabib beat some elite fighter or that Khabib is now the "undisputed champ"
It's like, calm down Khabib beat a #11 ranked "real estate agent"...Conor is still the real champ
Everyone is just upset that Khabib is always catered to and was gifted a fake paper belt - and that because when Conor the real champ was stripped, it destroyed the real lineage of LW title history. Conor must beat Khabib to restore the lineage
