For a second I thought Khabib was coming back. :(

There really wasn't much judging needed when Khabib fought. Why are y'all do salty? What did Khabib ever do to you?
I'm not. He lost a fight and the judges got it wrong. I don't really care one way or another. Why do you care about a guy that hates you?
 
Undefeated goat with nothing left to prove
Not sure if serious but Legit question: why do people make a huuuge deal of Khabib being undefeated but did not make a big deal of pre-PED-proof Jones not being bested?
(Sure that DQ loss against Hammil is a loss on paper - but should not be an issue in how to judge Jon's rank skillwise)

Sure Jon had debatable fights (Gus) but BEFORE that had 6 straight title fight wins .. while Khabib only had 4.

I mean - BEFORE he had any debatable fight (Gus) he had more title fight wins than Khabib.
Jones has always fought utter cans. Khabib fought the best of the best
 
Tibau beat him, then he avoided grapplers the rest of his career and cherry picked strikers he could ragdoll. Can’t be a GOAT if your only meaningful wins are all the same style of fighter.
GTFO, Tibau lost every round to the Biebster
 
Name the grapplers he avoided in the LW division.

Oliveira? Was at FW when Khabib was making his run. Gillespie? Wasn't even in the UFC when Khabib was n1 contender. Lee? Wasn't even in the UFC when Khabib was ranked nr2. Cerrone? Had a 2 year knee injury so wouldn't call that ducking.

The grapplers he did face though: Trujillo, Shalorous, RDA and Healy. 4 of his first 6 fights where against wrestlers or high level BJJ guys.

So again, which great grapplers did he avoid?
Oliveira hasn't fought at FW since 2016. If Charles had been higher ranked at the time or if Khabib had been more active, they could have fought.
 
A ton of MMA fighter/legends have said he's a GOAT, or at least one of the GOATs.

But lemme guess, the opinion of a random sherdogger like yourself holds more credibility than those that have actually shared the octagon with him, trained with him, etc. ?? Lol comical.
Oh 100%. If a fighter thinks Khabib is the GOAT, while numerous GOATs have proven significantly more than him, I take my opinion more seriously

The fact they've trained is not particularly relevant to me. Tons of great fighters don't think he is. Are you trying to tell me their opinion is less valid than you Mr. random sherdogger?

I am glad you think I am funny. I think I am too
 
Khabib never really cherrypicked, he always fought the guy they put infront of him

Cherrypicking is like when Usman called out Masvidal for a rematch right after beating him soundly

His camp turned down fights with Aldo for an interim in 2015 as a bad style match up and I heard rumours they didn't like a Cowboy fight around that time as well.
 
No. He dropped rounds to Tibau, Conor, and Gaethje
Whenever someone says this i just roll my eyes lmao. I've never seen a fighter as goated on false statements like khabib.
 
Oliveira hasn't fought at FW since 2016. If Charles had been higher ranked at the time or if Khabib had been more active, they could have fought.
My point is. Khabib was making a run at the title by beating RDA for example and by 2016 he was the n1 contender.. when Oliveira wasn't even in the division.

The only time Khabib could ever have faced Oliveira realisticly was in 2021, but then he was retired.
 
lmao dude's extremely salty. so salty that he's talking out of his ass.

when someone asked him to list the grapplers he avoided, he couldn't even answer.
This is Sherdog, so it's not surprising. I'll never understand how people can hate an athlete they've never met before SO MUCH but it is hilarious
