So because he had one fight in the year and retired at 31 that warrants fighter of the year?
The name says fighter of the YEAR, not “greatest guy to have his last fight in 2020.”
and khabib is in the discussion among the greats for his dominance (huge factor) and streak but loses huge points on activity (more active = greater odds of loss), top level fights, defences, rematches, and arguably quality of competition. Not the greatest. He had the easiest shot at making himself the clear uncut GOAT with even 3-4 more defences with his dominance making up for all else but he drowned in his fake nice guy I don’t like to hurt people I’m not an insecure manlet act. Conor does the same thing these days on Twitter “oh I’m just a calm guy secure in my skin. All about peace and love.” It’s the new alpha for hotheads. Both are similar in many ways. Both exaggerate their claims. (I didn’t want to arm bar Gaethje so I went triangle because I didn’t want to hurt him in front of his parents - which is exactly why he tried arm barring him in the first).
I don’t like Kevin Holland more than Khabib but in 1 year he had more than 1/3rd of the number of fights khabib had across 9. So no it’s not literal insanity it’s well deserved.
I woulda went with figgy had he won.
