Can we stop adding new goats everytime someone gets two defences

BS for Khabib

it took him 10 UFC fights to get a Title Shot and GSP 1

He is the only fighter to beat 3 10 Top p4p fighters in a row by finish


He was not boring lnp either, he would beat you on the ground like you owed him money

The only GOAT candidate go through his career in the USADA era successfully

He has never bled or got finished like everyone else

29-0


Undisputed, Undefeated

statistically the most dominant fighter in UFC history

Khabib has good case. It’s probably between him and GSP if you care for PEDs. If you don’t, Johnny Bones Jones is the GOAT

I have Khabib over GSP because he's a better fighter.

There's arguments to made about size and accomplishments but Khabib is just more skilled, dominant and a better fighter. End of story.

 

[GOATtalks]

I think Khabib came about 3-4 good wins off genuinely entering the discussion. And Usman and Izzy are now about 5 good wins away too. So theres potential, but yeah, people get carried away too quickly.

If Izzy beats Jan, he might be ahead of Anderson already. Usman needs 2-3 solid wins more to pass GSP

He should've stuck around longer to set the LW title defence record and try and get in the list for most UFC wins; Jones and GSP have 20 UFC wins, Khabibs lagging with 13.

Most of Jones and GSP's wins were in title fights and when you're champ you're fighting the best guys in the division instead of playing grabass with Darrel Horcher. Khabib's got more work to do to be the GOAT.

I agree that Khabib is a better fighter, but GSP has way more defences and that 2nd belt. It may tip the scales in his favour

Khabib literally has no case at all. None.

When did GSP finish 3 top 10 p4p in a row? The LNP decisionator.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

GSP, Jones, Fedor, Anderson, DJ, Khabib.

 

[AnotherOldGuy]

the goat conversation has become a cluster, a mess there are only a group of people in the conversation first of all another if you count Fedor but that is Jon, Anderson and GSP, even then there is only one goat those are just the fighters in the conversatiom

There are over 30 title defences between these 3 men

Can we please stop acting like usman izzy and khabib are goats they're not not even in their own divisions, izzy is not better than Anderson and Usman is not better than GSP there are like maybe 7 title defences between Izzy Usman and Khabib combined, PLEASE STOP CALLING THEM GOATS, this is really embarrassing as an mma fan having new GOATS every month, the competition is stale the divisions are more shallow than ever and the champions take long breaks between defending

Jon Silva and GSP set the bar high lets stop this nonsense already

There is no objective criteria for GOAT (unlike say being champion, which is whoever the UFC says is their champion). That means its subjective, and everyone is free to make their own criteria and have their own GOAT.

Its like asking what the greatest rock band is. Or even what the greatest style of music is. Or what the greatest book or writer or movie or painting is. Its subjective and different people are going to give you different opinions. That's the way people are, and its probably a good thing, the world would be a boring place if everyone liked the same thing.

Khabib literally has no case at all. None.

Khabib is the most dominant fighter ever, fighting the best opponents in the most stacked weight class. No loses and no PED issues. One of the longest win streaks in MMA and in UFC. The man is nearly invincible

It's mostly just salty Conor noobs trying to trash Khabib after the number he did on them.

Been three years guys, this is ptsd territory.

 

[SecondToNone]

Rankings have existed for 5 years

No.

I’m a Conor fan, but I can’t deny a great fighter when I see one. Khabib is legendary

He has fewer wins in a major org than a minor one

Compare GSP, Jones and Silva to khabib in that regard and see how ridiculous this argument is

 

[GBJohn]

Honestly, GoAT is a pretty silly discussion, anyway. That doesn't just apply to MMA, it applies to all sports. Different eras, rule changes, personal criteria all affect who one sees as the Greatest. The only person I can think of with a true claim to GoAT status in his sport is Wayne Gretzky, simply because he put his records in a different stratosphere to others, but I haven't followed hockey in years, so that may have changed.

This is probably one the most objective and best criteria to compare fighters. Khabib is up there with the very best.

Silva fought worst competition, has a shitload of loses and failed a PED test.

Jones failed multiple tests.

GSP got finished twice.

Khabib is definitely top5, with a solid case to be higher

 

[Emjay]

No such thing as GOAT

 

[tehMoose]

But I read today on sherdog that Gane is the GOAT
