Lineal GOAT - not the peoples GOAT.Then its official. The Eagle Khabib is GOAT
I don't see how there's an argument.
McGregor is the MMA GOAT because he sells more than anyone else. That doesn't mean he's the best fighter ever. Floyd Mayweather is considered the GOAT of boxing of this generation because he sells more than anyone else, but he's not even close to being the best boxer. Dude is a 150lbs manlet, journeyman heavyweights who could beat the living shit out of him are a dime a dozen.
He's 5'10", has a 70" reach, and weighs about 180lbs. He would get mauled by virtually all of the Top 15 Welterweights, not named Gunnar Nelson.
I see were you are trying to go with this, but Conor is not near Mayweather level in his sporting achievements. He has never defended a belt, while Floyd has well in excess of 20 title defences.
Floyd arguably lost one fight (against Castillo), but record books show a guy that stayed undefeated for twenty years.
Khabib was 195lbs 3 weeks before UFC 209... ypu should have remembered that, it was controversial.
It wasn’t a poll asking who their favorite fighter is. It asked who the GOAT is. Try harder
