Who is the KING of Can Crushing now that Ben Davis dropped the crown!?

Ben The Immortal Davis started his career 3-7 before BEASTING with 15 straight 1st round W’s (on an average of 30 seconds per fight). He retired in 2022 at the young age of 45. Khabib is thought of as the king of can crushers. This is nonsense (see below), and although Davis was a 300 pound slob, his super heavyweight opponents would probably be no match for for Khabib’s early opps (see below). https://preview.redd.it/9n53jm6bfape1.png?width=1152&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c93ea7ac3fe087a91b75ecbe4e3c9d514d05042 Yes that's right - this 15 fight win streak had opponents with a career Record of 0-66. And they never won after that either these are what cans are. Question: Who today is the King of the Can crushers? As in: Which active fighter: [Has a winning percentage above 80% every win coming against an opponent with a winning percentage under 10%]? I am asking - I dunno who the answer is. Now let's look at Khabib, the imposter to the crown: When he was 5-0 he beat Eldar Eldarov, who is now 14-1, his only loss ever being to Khabib. Eldar holds wins over Mounir Lazzez (now in UFC), Brian Hooi (KSW and Bellator vet), Leonardo Mafra (UFC vet), Tanner Saraceno (LFA), Denis Maher (now 9-1 and in ACA) and even Gaidar Nurmagomedov, another Nurmagomedov who has a 67 win%! Eldarov is ranked higher even today that UFC fighters like Billy Goff, Darrius Flowers or his former foe Lazziz. That’s no can, that’s a spoon. When he was 6-0, he beat Shakhbulat Shamkhalaev who is now 11-3, including a 3-2 run in Bellator. In Shamkhalaev’s first 3 Bellator fights he KO’d Mike Richman (who was 13-1 and has KO’d David Rickels, Nam Phan, Jeremy Spoon, and Alexandre Bezerra). That means Shamkhalaev was no can, man. His 8th fight was against Ali Bagov, who went on to become ACA LW Champ! Bagov has 32 wins now, that’s 10 more than GSP, and he has beaten: Former UFC fighter (with a winning record) Elias Silvério PFL’s Bubba Jenkins (former Brave FC champ) who went 8-3 in Bellator UFC vet Leandro Silva Khabib was 2-0 when he faced the 1-0 Ramazan Kurbanismailov. Kurbanismailov today is 12-4 with a win over Bellator veteran Shimon Gosh (6-2-0) He fought Vitaly Ostrovskiy (5-5) who had some impressive wins throughout his career, including a knockout victory over Abdula Dadaev and a submission victory over Anatoly Safronov whose 28 pro MMA wins total more than Jon Jones! Finally, Khabib beat Arymarcel Santos. Khabib had 15 wins and Santos had 28 - and now has 44! Could he be a GOAT contender? No. So why is he still going. Anyhow, Santos had solid wins vs Rod Carlos (30 pro wins, and 2 fights booked in October), Weguimar Xavier (17-6) and more. submitted by /u/sarsfox [link] [comments]

Question: Who today is the King of the Can crushers?

As in: Which active fighter:

[Has a winning percentage above 80% every win coming against an opponent with a winning percentage under 10%]?

I am asking - I dunno who the answer is.

Now let's look at Khabib, the imposter to the crown:

When he was 5-0 he beat Eldar Eldarov, who is now 14-1, his only loss ever being to Khabib. Eldar holds wins over Mounir Lazzez (now in UFC), Brian Hooi (KSW and Bellator vet), Leonardo Mafra (UFC vet), Tanner Saraceno (LFA), Denis Maher (now 9-1 and in ACA) and even Gaidar Nurmagomedov, another Nurmagomedov who has a 67 win%!

When he was 6-0, he beat Shakhbulat Shamkhalaev who is now 11-3, including a 3-2 run in Bellator. In Shamkhalaev’s first 3 Bellator fights he KO’d Mike Richman (who was 13-1 and has KO’d David Rickels, Nam Phan, Jeremy Spoon, and Alexandre Bezerra). That means Shamkhalaev was no can, man.

- Former UFC fighter (with a winning record) Elias Silvério
- PFL’s Bubba Jenkins (former Brave FC champ) who went 8-3 in Bellator
- UFC vet Leandro Silva
Khabib was 2-0 when he faced the 1-0 Ramazan Kurbanismailov. Kurbanismailov today is 12-4 with a win over Bellator veteran Shimon Gosh (6-2-0)
He fought Vitaly Ostrovskiy (5-5) who had some impressive wins throughout his career, including a knockout victory over Abdula Dadaev and a submission victory over Anatoly Safronov whose 28 pro MMA wins total more than Jon Jones!
Finally, Khabib beat Arymarcel Santos. Khabib had 15 wins and Santos had 28 - and now has 44! Could he be a GOAT contender? No. So why is he still going. Anyhow, Santos had solid wins vs Rod Carlos (30 pro wins, and 2 fights booked in October), Weguimar Xavier (17-6) and more.
