Pretty much thisNope.
If he was to win quick, it'd be 'fluke'
And if he wins any other way, it'll be cos Khabib wasn't as good as people thought and he lost to his first true top competitor...
Then everything will shift to how he's ducking tony/Lee and they would humiliate him.
Are you new to sherdog ?
Maybe in the eyes of the casuals.
Like those that think that Tyson or Ali are goat contenders in boxing.
Even if he beats Khabib. Both GSP and Fedor would still have more wins over top 10 P4P fighters.Conor will have more P4P names on his resume than anyone in history, and at two weight classes no less.
Of course a bunch of old Pride and UFC dorks will claim their favorite fighter from 185+ was the GOAT when they defended a belt a few times by beating garbage tier fighters on PEDs 10 years after the sport even became a thing, but it simply won't be true.

so you can only make the argument for jones being goat. but then you cant because of peds. everyone in the discussion has lost and lost to those that aren't the elite. apart from DC .I remember when GOAT meant that you cleared out everyone at your division, had a huge winning streak, and didnt struggle or get beat by journeymen/gatekeepers. Those sure were the days.

Ali is a GOAT contender. Tyson was pretty great too considering his size, and the fact he had three years shaved off his prime.
I'm guessing in the eyes of all knowing knowledgeable 'hardcores' - Ali isn't?
