Wait a minute... are you saying khabib has a better resume than Pettis??
How does Khabib have the best resume? He has the potential to become the GOAT, but he's got very few wins over actual top tier LWsKhabib is the LW GOAT since he has the best resume and is undefeated, never even looked in trouble
The other contender would be Tony, but he decisively lost to journeyman Michael Johnson, almost got KOed in another journeyman Lando Vannata, got manhandled by Castillo and TKOed by wire
Maybe BJ Penn could be in there too but his prime was brief
In todays world these snowflakes would throw a fit and cry racism if he was on the wheaties box.Well he has the Wheaties Box thing going him, what other fighter could say that. I don’t think even connnir has been on a Cereal Box yet.
How can you rank Bendo top 6 over showtime?Top 10 after:
BJ
Edgar
Gomi
Aoki
Alvarez
Bendo
Ferguson
Khabib
Resume wise, BJ is the LW GOAT, but the best LW fighter ever is Khabib (26-0).
Aoki? His resume is not as good as Pettis'. His resume is better than khabib's too. Cerrone, bendo and Melendez are better than khabib's best 3 wins.Top 10 after:

Being dated shouldn’t affect ones status. Examples: Jordan, Ali, Tyson. Obviously those are some of thee GREATEST names in sports but if more recent LWs can top BJ Penns wins and championships then it’s on them to do so (some have) and shouldn’t be a knock on Penn and the competition during his time.
Penn and Gomi are in the mix for top 5, imo. What they accomplished was incredible. Don’t let the Ferguson’s (interim champion) and Conor’s (one time, one off champion) fool us. BJ was a 4x UFC LW champion, fought the old guard in Pulver to veterans like Sherk to newer TUF era contenders like Florian.
