Media Bisping: If Charles wins he surpasses Khabib and becomes LW GOAT

and an army of chinstrap beard enthusiasts wail in usion

early? he ran through the division and faced all challengers...charles wasn't even in the radar when he retired...

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Not only that Khbab never lost a round, but he was never ever in any danger, never ever hurt, nobody touched him. Even if we ignore all the losses, Charles was still almost finished in all of his last few fights. He’s great, but we’ll never see anyone as dominant as Khabib again.

Never lost a round? Why do people keep saying this?

You haven't even watched his fights, I guess...

 

[BoomStronk]

Huge Olivera fan here. But I think he will need to win and defend the belt 2x to make it convincing. I think with a win this weekend we can open the conversation, but to take it over the top, he needs to defend.

This is his third defense. With a win he ties khabib in defenses and has vastly overshadowed him in elite wins for a long time.

Hes already there. 2 more wins would be icing.

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Didn't he get submitted by Jim Miller and TKO'd by Cerrone before dropping down?

This is true

 

[Joshuaace]

Accurate. Those losses are still better than Khabibs wins at a comparable point in their careers.

If your GOAT list changes over time, it means your original GOAT list was shit to begin with.

This doesn't make any sense

GOAT takes into account ALL OF TIME, up until the present, not the future.

 

[campbecc]

There has never been a goat in any weight class, and there never will be.

In literally anything there is always a GOAT. You do realize that "all time" means up to this point? Like future times that don't yet exist don't count, you get this right?

 

[Verderglen23]

They both beat Justin and Dustin, and Islam >>> Conor, so the logic is there

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

There would be arguments for both guys, I think Khabib is a better fighter by far to be honest, but he didn’t really stick around long enough to prove it so that doesn’t matter

I’m just very much in favor of rewarding a fighter for WINNING, as opposed to not losing… a huge part of not losing is not fighting

If fans want to incentivize fighters to avoid certain fights at certain times, and retire early, then Oli needs another 10 defenses to become LW GOAT

 

[forRealHuh]

Never lost a round? Why do people keep saying this?

You haven't even watched his fights, I guess...

On cards he lost a close round standing and making it close with Conor, while making a point that he can stand with the assumed best striker in the division at the time and get in zero trouble. I’d say he won more than he lost in that round.

Do you get how language and concepts work? Rhetorical question, of course you don't. Do I really need to dissect that dumpster fire of a reply and explain how every part of it is dumb as fuck?

 

[cburm]

Agreed he surpasses khabib but the lw goat is still penn with 4 consecutive defences

 

[WuDi]

Everyone is trying to to troll Khabib back into fighting Charles...

If he beats Islam and fails to call out Khabib then it would be extremely disappointing.

He's a risk taker during fights, I think he should call out McGregor, who ironically has a fair chance to win that fight.

He already did and it was pretty lame.

Conor is the money fight, Khabib is for the glory... And a huge bag of cash.

 

[Sickbro69420]

Yeah. I guess momentarily. If he loses 3 in a row after beating Islam. Then I'd say no. I'm saying it's too early to say. People like to get swept up during big events. It doesn't really matter regardless. Hope the fight delivers and if that's what it takes for Khabib to come out and fight. Then fuck it. Gas him up.
Let's go charlie!

 

[Kungpowking]

Sure... maybe.... I guess.

Khabib only has 3 maybe 4 top talent wins and went undefeated through 29. But Charles has 4 or 5 wins against top talent but is 33 and 8.

So its really what you care more about.

 

[aali14]

I think 2 more title wins and he surpasses Khabib

 

[LoveMyMMA]

lol Khabib will forever be above Charles.

8 LOSSES.

 

[Eric Silva 2.0]

Khabib doesnt have a win like Islam. He'd have a really solid argument.

Khabib's win against RDA is very underrated. That was prime RDA at LW, where he belonged.
