Does Khabib surpass GSP if he beats Ferguson and Conor afterwards.

[KingBeef]

Short Answer: No

Long Answer: Hell NO

 

[Lyoto Jackson]

Surpass him at what?.....

This was my question as well. I suppose he surpassed him in consecutive pro wins a while ago, but not at the same level.

 

[Sonny Qc]

nah, Georges is like 10-2 in UFC title fights and WW's no joke. Khabib's got a better start as a contender though so he wouldn't need as many defenses, and LW's, imo, the best division right now.

11-2, 12-2 with interim title fight Vs Hughes 3

 

[analog fuzz]

he basically has only two legit victories in his career (RDA & MJ) lol, so fuck no.

 

[MPD-Psycho]

Nope, Never. You also gotta have personality, charisma, and star power to match. Da riddum, not impressed, and so on.

 

[chinarice]

Khabib isn't even sniffing at GSP's doorstep and 2 wins isn't going to change that.

Also, GSP would embarass korn on the khabob if they had fought in the cage.

Not even close. GSP is arguably top 3 GOAT at this present moment. His only main downfalls were the Serra fluke loss and criticism of not finishing his opponents, especially with a close split decision win with his last fight.

 

[tenniswhiz]

19 UFC wins.
9 titles defenses.
17 top 5 wins.

Lot of excellent guys in the Top 5

You mean right now or...?

 

[tithas]

He will never defend the belt enough if he ever gets it. He is off for long stretches of time to go pray and AKA will make you miss 1-2 fights a year also.

Discuss.

Surpass GSP at what?

 

[liddellfan90]

He's already the GOAT people just haven't caught on yet. He will retire around 36-0 forcing people to believe.

 

[bigbangspiritbomb]

No. Needs to defend belt for a long time and clear out his division while doing so.

Given Khabib punch drunk vs MJ. Khabib needs striking and defense not using his face to protect shots or he will get slept.

11-2, 12-2 with interim title fight Vs Hughes 3

well there you go. I'd count the Interim as well, as Hughes was better than Serra and it was their rubber match.

 

[bigbangspiritbomb]

He's already the GOAT people just haven't caught on yet. He will retire around 36-0 forcing people to believe.

Punch drunk doesn't win you belts kuz

 

[Migdagen]

absolutely. not taking anything away but GSP was not as dominant as people remember him. he lost 3 times and had some close fights.

He lost 2 and only had one close/debatable win. Get your story straight bro.

 

[Apollo33]

what?

 

[NeverAgainPlaya]

What in the name of fuck are you injecting into your veins? The guys a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way off from even being considered in a conversation alongside GSP.

 

[knock_you_out]

Khabib has already surpassed GSP in time taken off fighting, due to injury.
