Fighters who run, have huge reach advantage considered GOATS (Jones, Izzy), but not Khabib?

Struve has an "unfair reach advantage".

He sucketh.

It's likely without his size and reach advantage Struve never would have made it to the UFC.

I just want to know how guys who run in their fights can be GOATS?

the same way a one trick pony that cant strike to save his life is considered a great.

How can Jon Jones and Izzy be considered the GOAT when they both run in their fights? They also have an unfair reach advantages over their opponents. How would they do if they didn’t have this advantage?

Since when is reach unfair?...

Jon jones didnt ask for those arms...and as vitor showed its make him susceptible to armbars..theres always an answer in fighting...

And this running biz is just funny lol ...avoidance has been part of fighting since the beginning of time..armies even use to fake run away to trap the enemy... Also how can u run away in a locked cage...

Khabibs not goat cuz he hasnt accomplished enough... Simple as that reach or movement in fights dont matter...he just hasnt done enough..not to say he couldnt..just hasnt

But does a God given gift mean that you are a better fighter? A Goat should be someone who is the best without any advantages over their opponent.

also you didn’t answer the running part

I hope your attempting to make a long running joke or troll thread, because if not then you have VERY limited knowledge of combat sports and should probably still to start threads about simpler topics like best episode of the ultimate fighter etc...

The underlined is supremely stupid....... By your logic extended into non combat sports MJ, Lebron, etc... can't be goats because they had such physical advantages over their competition. And by your logic a heavyweight fighter can't be Goat overall because they would have physical advantages over all other weight classes. Mike Tyson made a career out of beating the shit out of guys taller and with a longer reach then him do you know why??? Because he learned how to utilize his physical advantage of a lower center of gravity to get inside their reach and generate power shots in close that they could not deal with. Advantages are non - factors unless you know how to use them and their is so much more to Jones skill set, and ability as a fighter then reach. And please stop embarrassing yourself with that running question of yours.

"Running" HAHAHHA.

It's called strategy, TS.

Go watch ice-skating, dingleballs.
