But Khabib didn't avenge the Tibau loss whatsoever.
Conor has more ranked wins in non-title fights than Khabib does. He finished #5 Poirier, finished #10 Siver, decisioned #5 Nate, finished #5 Cowboy. Khabib decisioned #5 RDA, finished #6 Johnson, decisioned #4 Barboza. Very arguable that Khabib has worse top ranked wins outside of title fights.
Khabib should have at least given Conor a rematch.
HAHAHAHAH,this guy again.Conor is currently at #2 in GOAT list. Khabib is not even in top 5.
"The array of finishes, across 2 divisions, with champion status in 1, Anderson Silva is No.1 MMA GOAT," said McGregor.
McGregor, who has a 22-4 record in MMA, claims his "champion status" in two UFC divisions - featherweight and lightweight - is enough to secure him second place behind former middleweight champion Silva.
"My array of finishes, across 3 divisions, with champion status in 2, I'm No.2. If not tied one.
McGregor's top four is rounded out by former middleweight and welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre and current light heavyweight belt-holder Jon Jones.
He added that had he taken into account failed drugs tests while determining his rankings, he would have installed himself at the top.
Silva and Jones have both tested positive for banned substances during their career.
"I didn't mention PED results on multiple entrants, even though that makes me the clear current No.1 MMA GOAT, along with still being active," said McGregor.
"Although it shames, as well as puts all runs and finishes in complete doubt, I've snored multiple juice heads. A true GOAT must do it all."

Conor went up 2 weight classes the first time, so that’s really something to be ashamed of. Also styles make fights. Nate is very difficult opponent for Conor because of his length, endurance and durability.Imagine being 1-1 with NATE DIAZ, going life and death in the rematch with him. Muh Conor is da best doe!
Conor would do fuck all, it wasnt even close the first time. Conor had his best camp ever and still got humiliated. Give the bullshit trolling a rest.Conor probably wins a rematch
Khabib should have at least given Conor a rematch.
I'm not arguing that Conor has the greater legacy in terms of sport, though I think it's close. I want to respond to your second paragraph, because you can say a lot of the same things about Khabib...
Khabib hasn't always looked peerless. You even mentioned the Tibau fight. True, Conor didn't emphatically avenge the Nate loss. But Khabib didn't avenge the Tibau loss whatsoever.
Khabib has also avoided a lot of tough stylistic matchups. I think he'd have been in trouble had he fought Gaethje earlier. He's not fighters who can stop his takedowns or defend against the pressure. Tony Ferguson, Jorge Masvidal, Kevin Lee, Gregor Gillespie. And I guarantee he wouldn't risk fighting Usman or Covington.

Pay attention. Look at the post I was responding to. If my argument WASN'T devoid of title fights, then I wouldn't be responding to the guy I quoted.Crazy that you're argument here is devoid of title fights. Almost like you're finding away to praise McGregor for never defending a title...
And the Tibau comment was just bitter fanboy shit... By that logic Conor is 0-2 against Nate. Put on his running shoes for the past two rounds and saved by the bell in the 3rd... Majority decision, lol
