Is Demetrious Johnson on your Mt. Rushmore of greatest MMA fighters?

[FrankDux]

Sorry. No manlets or women on Mt. Rushmore.

 

[old school 2]

No, but maybe on the Manlet Mount Rushmore.

I don't think they're really thinking clearly. 13 fights as a pro and a title win off the #11 fighter in the division doesn't get you anywhere near GOAT status.

Khabib had only 13 fights as a pro?

I don’t see how this isn’t the case. 16 were fights setup by daddy against regional nobodies, likely for peanuts.

How is that not the case for anyone else? Not many regional fights are between high level fighters. Making claims like that makes it easy for people to dismiss you are silly and blatantly biased.

If you want to argue Khabib not being on the Mt Rushmore I would go with retiring in his Prime, Only fought 4-5 top 10 ranked LWs, only had 3 defenses. Use legit reasons if you want to be taken seriously.

Of course this is Sherdog so maybe you are not looking to be serious?

Lol, nobody had a career that started with 16 uber scrubs, don’t be ridiculous.

Youre not being objective. His resume and career look generally weak. Great fighter, shame he left so soon.

You can argue all you want. He got to the UFC after 16 fights. Lots of fighters have regional fights. McGregor had a 12-2 record pre UFC. Only 1 of those 14 fighters have a wiki page and Conor lost to him and lost to an Uber Scrub in Artemij Sitenkov.

You are right he is a great fighter that left too soon.

His position depends on whether you are disqualifying fighters caught juicing.
