Khabib doesn't have a single win over a TOP 10 fighter.

[Alpha_T83]

Over half of his wins were against nobodies in Russia and his only notable win is against RDA - which isn't even that impressive.

He does have top 10 wins: RDA and Edson Barboza.

And I disagree about RDA: that's his one win that actually impresses me. But the rest of your point is well taken: he's become the LW champion without fighting any of the top 5 current contenders in the division. But that's not really Khabib's fault. He tried to schedule fights against Tony Ferguson multiple times, and Tony was even more injured than Khabib was!

It will be interesting to see Khabib fight guys like Ferguson and Kevin Lee, who will not be as easy to dominate. Khabib seems to do really well when things are going his way, but let's see how he does when he faces some adversity.

RDA, Barboza, and Michael Johnson were all top-10 IIRC

RDA counts.
