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

[DoubleTrouble]

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?

They will say Alvarez :-D

 

[notsojollyrogerRIP]

Sir, you have 7 fuckin tabs open on your phone lol.

Lol you've never gone down a Wiki rabbit hole?

 

[Volumes]

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.

29-0, perfect career, let it go man

 

[tozot]

Didn't Khabib win every round of every fight, ever?

Against bears... no less!

Olivera became champ 7 months after Khabib retired. He was already on a 7 fight winning streak at LW at that point.

Wtf are you talking about?

Did you want him to be ranked at the same spot as Justin and Dustin. Did you expect for 3 people to be ranked at the same spot at the same time?

 

[notsojollyrogerRIP]

Oh totally.
Anyway, we should never wish anyone bad things (when realistically possible lol).
Not for the others' well being, but rather for our own mental health ; living in anger only makes you sad and lonely.

Thus spoke Sashathusthra.

Wise words.

3 titles defense = goat... lol

All three judges had him losing the 3rd round to Conor

Lol you've never gone down a Wiki rabbit hole?

Honestly, if I look at something I look at it thoroughly enough that I don't have the time to open another.

My mind likes to gather a lot of information, and if im dicking around looking at other things I feel like I'll miss something important about my original query.

Im not hating your style sir, I just had ocd seeing them open and not being looked at lol.

Oliveira was at FW when Khabib was n1 contender in 2016. When Khabib became champ in 2018 Oliveira wasn't ranked in LW. So how the fuck did he duck him? Khabib defended against both the top ranked LWs which where Gaethje and Poirier. Oliveira was like 6th when Khabib retired. So how the fuck did he avoid him? Oliveira was never near Khabib in the rankings until after he retired.

They will say Alvarez :-D

Or Oliveira....

Are you a parrot?

Because Khabib is goat

 

[Daelh]

No. He dropped rounds to Tibau, Conor, and Gaethje

Which shows his greatness. Instead of talking about losses were talking about of which few rounds he might have dropped in all of his career in otherwise dominating wins (except Tibau).

 

[glavinator]

The goat

Iikely Could have been, had he not taken his ball and gone home to mom after three title defenses. Thats not a bad thing, but it removes him from the convo. No one will ever know how he handled being at the top for an extended time and thsts the unanswered question. He quit before he proved he could it which quite simply is a huge variable

Haha spot on. On each wiki article, there's like twenty hyperlinks worth opening (to be read later) and I litteraly spent entire nights (many) on Wikipedia because of this. Some of the themes which always end up like this for me are biology, especially animals, classifications and evolution... Also anything health-related as l'm a healthcare worker. History is also source of the best wiki rabbit holes lol. I don't know anymore if I'm curious or just addicted to data consumption hahaha
