If you look at Khabib and Islam, their weight distribution is different. Khabib had bigger legs/glutes so his upper body always looks less toned, but that makes it so when he has people on the ground, he feels heavier. He can control them better. Islam has more weight/muscle upper body, so he can punch harder and have a harder clinch. When it comes to the ELITE level, these small things make such a big difference.

Punching comes more from legs, so if anything, bigger legs would lead to better kinetic chain through your legs. Your analysis is kinda incorrect.

@@jasminhoxha9073 He wont have to get him down. He will clinch him hard forcing Islam to react. And if Islam does a foot sweep or anything like that Khabib wont let go and they will both go down. On the ground we all know how it will end up. That being said Khabib is much meaner and more aggressive. At the same time Islam is probably his favorite cousin who is like a little brother to him. In sparring no one has been able to hurt Khabib besides Islam. Final note: Khabib said one of the reasons he wont come back is because it is Islam's time to be champion. Reminds of Vitaliy Klitchko retiring so he younger brother can reign as champion. It is family and culture thing, not everyone understands it.

That's what I was gonna say. Islam doesn't perform in the moment as well as Khabib. Maybe in the gym he's the same or better. To me what made Khabib the most special was when the fight happens he just had that mentality nobody was gonna beat him. Doesn't matter if he's injured, hurt. He just always performed best at the biggest stage. His fight against Gaetchje and McGregor stand out to me the most. Islam seems to fight more methodical and lower pressure. Which leaves him susceptible to getting knocked out. I'm not saying Islam isn't good. He is and can def be champ. All I'm arguing is he doesn't have the invincibility Khabib had.
