Here is the difference that’s a major one between why Khabib is over Jones...

[UFConFOX]

You have to remember to not give up your masquerade as a psuedo Khabib greatness acknowledger.

You didn't list RDA in his absolute better-than-everyone-but-Khabib prime but you found room for the Tibau lolz. Ok champ, we definitely believe you think Khabib is #2 in this era (HAHAHAHHAHAHA)

You have to try harder. Anyone you tricked in to reading all of your long ass post can see right through you. I know it's tempting, but if you'd have just hid it a bit longer you could have fooled some!

GG's my man!

Khabib rolled over cans & only Gaethje, Porier, & Conor are his three toughest opponents. Oh & Tibau lol. That's all.

Khabib will literally kill Aldo because he is way bigger and stronger and top grappler with iron chin. Who are u kidding here?

By that logic, Frankie Edgar, who is smaller than Aldo, would never have beaten BJ Penn for the LW championship.

That thread title.

Sherdoggers.... butchering the English language one title at a time.

Khabib is the top grappler ever graced the UFC and would literally kill Aldo, please get a grip on reality brother

The same Aldo who wilted under midget, Pee-Oder Yan.

Jon Jones only faced 2 people his height.

Alexander Gustaffson and Dominic Reyes.

Very close decisions/arguable losses to both.

Jon Jones has been a bully his entire life, facing tiny opponents (4-7" shorter than he), 90% of which have faced him after their prime years.

He beat Daniel Cormier twice — who was a midget overweight by about 60 pounds.

If he ever actually faces a heavyweight, the truth will be made known.

Which is why he hasn't faced a heavyweight.

Dude I'm a jones hater as much as anyone, but that's retarded. We have weight classes for a reason, not height classes. Height matters, and so does reach. Jones had advantages, but weight is still the biggest physical advantage and jones makes weight fine

Khabib refused to fight old af GSP at not just 170 but at 165 too, he literally expected grandpa GSP to go down to 155 in 40 years old

You are probably worshipping 6'1 FW Zabit

Remind me again how that Gus rematch went?



Lol Jon won the belt a year before Khabib even joined the UFC, and only finally relinquished, not lost, the belt 3 months before Khabib retired from MMA. He has more title fights than Khabib even has UFC fights period.

They are not remotely on the same stratosphere.

more PED busts, hospitalizations and losses than Khabib as well. As far as dominance, you are correct. Jon is not on Khabibs stratosphere. Scary part is, the gap between Khabib and challengers was widening. He hadn’t even reached his prime.

Ha! Ok my bad, a whopping 4 actual contenders! Lol. & Wtf about the "tricking" talk? I share my MMA thoughts & been watching longer than you. Stop being a fanboy.

Jones has beat 3 x as many quality fighters ….I wanted Khabib to get there …but he ducked out

 

[chinarice]

When the fight between Khabib and Tony fell through, Khabib agreed to fight anyone who could make weight at 155 and the UFC went through 6 opponents until they found him the so called real state agent Al. Meanwhile, Jon Jones the goat refused to fight Shale a natural MW after his fight against Dan fell through, just let that sink in! That’s not goat actions. What do you think and be completely fair?

The one major difference I noticed was Jones has 3x as many quality wins as Khabib. I thought that was the major difference.

Lots of speculation…..Khabib was 3 quality wins away for being on jones level ….Then He retired….I’m a fan of both ….Khabib resume isn’t close

MMA fans can be frustrating…nice to see someone else that gets it

 

[Stalingrad9]

Jon Jones is above on resume alone, despite the last 2 shaky decisions.

Dude hasn't actually lost a fight in like ever. Even his last two fight fall more in the coin toss category than flat out robberies (even tho the Reyes one ).
Khabib is the only one who can claim that, but he retired before doing enough quantitatively.

And how many fights did he cheat to win? Either eye pokes or groin shot( against Gus2) or roids? Get the f out of here!

Don’t care …..Khabib ran home to mommy and gave up his chance to be the goat …..you can cry all you want …it won’t change it

Don’t hate on Jon because he was aware enough to realize Henderson and Sonnen had a plan ….smart move on jons part

what part is speculation exactly? In no universes is a man that has had his ass beaten (even in winning efforts) with several controversial decisions more dominant than an undefeated champion with a 100% finish rate in title defenses in a deeper weight class.
