145 : Ilia Topuria (16-0)
155 : Khabib Nurmagomedov (29-0)
170 : Shamil Musaev (20-0)
185 : Khamzat Chimaev (14-0)
205 : Jon Jones (28-1)
250 : Prime Fedor

One two more fights and I would say Islam > Khabib.
 
Overall... a bit hit and miss.

Ilia left 145 before he got to claim any sort of all-time status. Khamzat ain't won no titles yet, so too early for him for sure. Too early to say for Tom too.
 
I like how your "history" only goes back 10 years...

skill level and talent of competition only increase over time.
it makes sense that fighters in the past 10 years are, on average, better than those 10,000, 1000, 100, 50, or 30 years ago.
 
Khabib, GSP, Silva, Jones and Fedor.

Below lw I dont care. MM is great fighter but who give a fuck.

would prime anderson silva (no wrestling) beat dricus and khamzat ?
would 6'0" prime fedor beat 6'5" aspinall ?

I respect fighting. I am not saying X would lose. They will show us by fighting.

I would bet on Silva and Fedor with 50/50 odds.

Silva could survive td from Khamzat but Khamzat cant survive ktfo by Silva.

I think prime Fedor is too fast for Tom. I see blitz tko.

BUT I do think its unfair to put khamzat and aspinall in those fictional fights. We can enjoy their art in 2025. I am happy we have them around.
