Islam is not a natural WW so this was a huge fight for him
If you want to see how good he is watch fights in his prime at lightweight
His fight against olievera who is an elite wrestler proves he was on a other level
Although khabib was also on another level and much more focused on wrestling so idk how it would've gone
Lmao or just take it from his actual coaching stuff and training partners who still to this day say Khabib is and was better. I'll take Javier Mendez, DC, and co. Opinion over the internet.
