Oh sorry. 8X the amount of fights125 fights?

Being undefeated helps a lot, but right now he only has like 5 notable wins.
To be GLWOAT, a win over Ferguson and 3-4 notable wins will do it.
To be absolute GOAT, he has to get into the same realm as GSP, Fedor, and Silva. Which means like 8-12(depending on how dominant, how elite the fighters are, and if he remains undefeated) more notable wins.
At least, that's how I see it.
The problem with GOAT is that it's never perfect or rarely-if-ever. Some guys will give someone with 50-0 that title while some wont on subjective opinion.
GOAT should be limited to weight class and eras because if they didn't fight or they "woulda' coulda' shoulda'" then MMA math or Boxing Math isn't something to base it on.
Examples...
Cyborg: she has 1 loss on her record and an " * " for PEDs... but based on performance i'd say right now she is.
Mighty Mouse: Has two loses on his record and is in an Era where it seems 125 is lacking the depth. but based on performance i'd say right now he is also.
Jones....
Anderson....
What about Mayweather with 50 - 0 ...how do you feel about that? the right fights at the wrong times? lack of depth?
What Khabib has to do to make every single person on this call him GOAT is almost not worth the trouble for anyone lol
just win the title, defend 5 times and move up for a couple fun matchups then defend a few more times... then i'll call him the '155 GOAT'
How does Khabib become the GOAT in your opinion?
Me personally, I think when he beats Ferg, and becomes Champ, he needs to defend at least 3-4 times, then go up in weight, and fight Woodley if he's still champ, an defend a few times there.

I’d respect those guys a lot more if they actually fought at their natural weight. Weight cutting is for pussies.He is beating guys that are 5'11" 180lbs. That is a grown man unless you're an American fat fuck.

Has a 5-10 year title reign with multiple defenses. If he’s able to accomplish that he’ll be one of the greatest lightweight champions ever and that’s about it.
