Some people are, in fact, fight fans and still care about cheating.that's not how you use that. some people are, in fact, not scotsman.

Anyone who invokes the "muh title defenses!" fallacy is a moron. GSP was gifted a title shot after 2 UFC wins. Khabib had to win 9 in a row. Case closed.
Sure, that would be awesome.Cool, bring Brock Lesnar to UFC again.
"To be honest I would myself put Jon Jones at #1 spot. I think he defended his belt 9 times and he is unbeaten even if he has 1 DQ loss. He’s beating big names, many legends. But his last couple of fights he’s not showing his best performances, lost many rounds, many people even argue that he lost a couple of his last fights. There are also PED scandals. But if you look at his skillset I think he’s #1 P4P, justly."When did he say that?
It's the one asterisk on his career I agree.Sure, but 90% of his wins are against sub par competition. I guess the point is if he had to fight the number one contender 10 times in a row like GSP, Anderson and Jones did, he would eventually make those mistakes and look less dominant.
RDA, Mcgregor, Porrier, Justin, Barboza, Michael Jhonson. Everyone except from mcgregor was at their peak when he beat theme, RDA was on a 5 fight win streak and became champ after, Johnson had just ko'ed porrier the fight before, porrier was the interm champ, so was justin after dominating Ferguson, Barboza was on a 3 fight win streak before facing khabib. Point is, he fought the best lightweights at his time except for Ferguson but judging how he looked in the justin fight I don't think he would have stood much of a chance either.Sure, but 90% of his wins are against sub par competition.

But I really don't see anyone on the roster today or in the past that has anything for him. He disposed of today's big dogs (Poirier & Gaethje) with ease. At LW, he would maul Oliveira, Dariush, Chandler, Ferguson, Hooker, Gillespie, Ferreira, Gamrot, Riddell and Tsarukyan, which is the complete top 15 bar Islam Makhachev and the fighters he already defeated.
If he went up to Welterweight, I'm convinced he would maul Covington, Burns, Edwards, Masvidal, Chiesa, Thompson, Luque, Magny, Diaz, Jingliang, Ponzy, Brady. I think he only would have a hard time against Usman and even then I still favour him. I'd also favour him (albeit very close) over prime GSP.

''Accomlishments'' are subjective.
You probably meant title defenses = accomplishments.
Then again, nobody robbed Jon Jones from his deserved title shot, and made him wait for 2 years. That happened to Khabib in 2016.
Khabib is a special case in terms of title defenses, due to UFC's Conor favoritism, that should be considered when it comes to Khabib, and put an asterisk to his title defenses on why he could've more but UFC didn't give him the chance and made him wait for 2 years. Just like asterisks that Jon Jones has due to USADA.
found the emasculated McGregor fanKhabib quit without ever challenging himself to fight at WW in the UFC -- and he tapped out early on his LW GOAT Run
so all this nonsense you blather on about Khabibi taking on WWs is All Filler, No Thriller --
coulda woulda shoulda, BUT DIDN'T -- Khabib gets ZERO CREDIT for your active imagination
He said there many GOATs not just one later;Sure, that would be awesome.

what was the name of your previous account?
okay, but the original quote is NUMBER 1 SPOT. that can only be one guy, and he put Jon Jones there.He said there many GOATs not just one later;
Khabib Nurmagomedov says he shares GOAT status with six other legendary fighters
Speaking to ESPN, Nurmagomedov said that he is on the same level as Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva, Fedor Emelianenko, Demetrious Johnson, and Daniel Cormier.
Very good point. Jones, Anderson, and GSP got title shots early. Khabib had to clean out his division first.
But 5 round title fights are different and even though it's not Khabib's fault, it's something his detractors will always point to.
all of this.I like that Khabib bowed out at his peak.
But it also means that he didn't rack up the numbers to be a GOAT contender, imo.
Also, in 2 or 3 years Rogan will probably be calling someone else the GOAT. He's the kind of person who is caught up is whatever the big thing is right now.
He's the most dominant fighter of all time. He's far from the most accomplished fighter of all time.
