How many top 10 wins Khabib and Conor each have?

[JustOnce]

I am just wondering how many top 10 wins Khabib and Conor each have. A lot of haters shit on Fedor's for fighting cans, but he actually has a lot of top 10 wins that's comparable to GSP and Anderson, though GSP has more, I think.

 

[DarkneT]

Hold on let me just google that for you

 

[Sonny Qc]

Khabib

RDA (not even sure he was a top 10 at that time)
Barboza
Johnson probably was top 10, not anymore.

Conor
Aldo
Mendes
Eddie
were top 10 for sure.

Poirier & Max weren't top 10 when he fought then.
But looking at it now, it's pretty impressive.

 

[mirellale]

Khabib has four

Pat Healy
RDA
Barboza
Johnson

Conor has five

Poirier
Aldo
Mendes
Alvarez
Diaz

I could be wrong tho

Poirier was ranked 5 at the time of the Conor fight

Dennis Siver
Well, he was available. (no pun intended)

 

[xyzxyz94]

Yes. Healy was 10 and the Tibau fight was before rankings were made but I looked it up and he was #10 in the UFC in the consensus rankings prior to fighting Khabib. https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/4/...ion-april-2012-consensus-rankings-lightweight

Both Conor/Nate fights took place at WW and neither of them were ranked at WW.
Nate doesn't get the distinction of beating a #1 fighter either. He beat the #1 FW at WW.

After Khabib-Conor, Khabib will have one more top 10 W

 

[PROlogic]

Khabib has 5:

Barboza
Johnson
RDA
Healy
Tibau

Iaquinta was 11 at the time.

Conor also has 5:

Siver
Poirier
Aldo

Khabib's list ABSOLUTELY PAILS IN COMPARISON TO Conor's list

It's downright comedic how much more superior Conor's resume is

Other even greater things to consider, Conor has beaten many more top 5s and #1s ....that's what matters

Khabib has ZERO wins over any currently top 5 ranked LWs

Conor has 3 over currently top 5 ranked LW

 

[Ken Fresno]

lol Khabib doing just enough as usual. Bunch of #10s

Also a nice "where are they now" list. As opposed to the relevant guys on Conor's list.

 

[lagofala]

Thing is, less top 10 guys wanna fight Khabib. Connor get's them paid. It's not really a useful comparison if you think about it.

Conor's resume is no stronger than Brock Lesnar's.
Both of their resumes are weak compared to the greatest of the sport.

Not Khabib or Iaquinta fault if Conor did'nt wanted step in the cage, after saying he will

heavyweight is a joke though, it's like a round robin between the top 10 for 10 years. I mean Mark Hunt and Brock Lesnar are top 10

Simply by being a contender in the UFC you should be fighting top 10 fighters in your division.
After Conor beat a top 5 opponent in Poirier he beat an unranked opponent in Siver. After Khabib beat a top 5 opponent in Barboza he beat an unranked opponent in Raging Al.
Their resumes are weak compared to greats. Just accept that reality.
