I guess its worth to discuss for me GSP and its not even close
 
Khabibs career isn't even over yet. Isn't this a little early?
 
Clearly GSP right now.

This topic needs to be made 4 years from now.
 
I was going to answer but I saw you answered your own question. But GSP is obviously the far better martial artist as far as being well rounded.
 
Khabib is the better wrestler/grappler, but GSP is the better overall MMA fighter.
 
WHY incomperable?Havent you seen their fights?

They're not even close for a position to compare.

A fighter that has finished his prime career (on a higher note, but finished) and a fighter who hasn't picked his potential yet.
 
GSP is voted by most the mfin goat, and you're comparing him to someone who just became champ his last fight and hasn't come close to cleaning out his division?
 
Khabib hasn't fought the top guys yet imo, GSP ran through all the top guys for years. Gaethje fought a tougher opponent in Eddie in his second ufc fight than Khabib has gotten to fight before or since his win against mj imo.
 
GSP is the best ever, Khabib is not the best ever.
 
GSP was a complete martial artist that could beat other great fighters at their own game. He had no weak points to attack. Khabib is a specialist that has been able to survive on the specialty. It remains to be seen if Khabib can continue to do that as he defends his belt.
 
Khabib isn't in the top10 discussion for all-time fighters and Georges is argued as the best of all time.

How is this a question?

Yep. Let Khabib fight some wrestlers (like GSP did) and we'll have a better idea. It's pure speculation at this point.
 
How do people put Khabib into GOAT after having one title fight. I'm not saying he can't be one of the best but cmon. Comparing him to GSP is an insult. GSP set up his takedowns by having better standup and mixing it up. Khabib looks like a fish out of water after his spam takedown starts getting stuffed. We must have a casual here
 
GSP is the best WW ever, Khabib won the belt by beating an angry real estate agent & hasn't defended.

Ask again when Khabib has a pile of defenses.
 
Khabib hasn't done anything compared to GSP. Have him defend the belt around 8-10 times in a row and then we'll talk.
