In all of these interviews and press conferences you see young fighters mentioning Conor and GSP, or even veteran killers like Aldo for changing the game and inspiring them. Nobody ever mentions Khabib.

This seems to be bothering him as seen by him calling himself the best fighter for the last 10 years or whatever the quote was and taking jabs at OGs still fighting like Aldo.

You have the OG type guys (guys like wand, Royce, Rampage, etc), the GOATs (Fedor, GSP, Jones) and the game changers (Conor, Rhonda types) and then khabib falls in this weird no mans land where he is basically forgotten already and quickly having his legacy surpassed by the Yans, Izzy, Usman type still fighting.

He seems irritated. Meanwhile you never hear Fedor say anything about his legacy, truly no fucks given and true alpha behavior
 
With haters like you bringing his name everytime he should not be worried about being forgotten. #rentfree

Khabib was solid he's up there with Weidman and Hendricks only they didn't retire in their prime

It's also a legit question, he seems much more concerned about legacy than GSP or Fedor for example
 
He owns his own promotion with some big names and gets all kinds of invites for Russian media. He also has pretty high level business connections in the UAE that he's done PR for (dumb crypto crap I think but still high level). So no shit he's a public figure. Why are you like this dude ? Is this a bit or mental illness?
 
Not as much as it bothers you that he retired without a single blemish on his record and the most dominant champion the sport has ever seen. Never knocked down, cut, hurt or ever in danger. No other fighter can boast such peerless dominance. He was winning more and more convincingly with each fight against the best of the deepest division on the roster. You should be thankful he walked away when he did.

Khabib has moved on. You should to.

I've always assumed mostly the later and some of the former.
 
Except when he is given lay-up questions regarding current exciting match ups with big fighters, he always says it does not matter because he is done. I honestly do not think he cares because he retired but still is involved with mma through his own promotion. And people talk about him all the time whenever tony, garth, charles, conor are brought up

It's hard to say for sure because he isn't being forgotten. You see his name is all over the front page of these forums and any place having mma conversation and he's widely recognized as the best fighter from 2015-2020.

Nice try. Khabib paved the way for the Caucasian fighting style, with its unique wrestling / judo / sambo / striking blend. Since Khabib, your favourite murrkan fighters have been getting ragdolled by Caucasians.
 
I think if he did care, he would have kept fighting

Just let him quietly be forgotten, making threads like this is weird
 
No, he's confident. I think he rates what he did a bit too highly, but he's not delusional. Focuses on other things now and Islam becoming champ. The venom towards Conor is a bit much, though.
