Media Jon Jones Shuts Down Khabib Goat argument with one pic

[Ackmed]

Without even discussing resumes, dominance, PEDs or lack thereof, Jones disqualifies himself from the "greatest" conversation through his insecurity towards Khabib.

The greatest can't be so insecure that he constantly seeks validation from the internet and gets butthurt over differences of opinion among fans.

Well yeah, can't change what you don't have
("GOAT" after 3 title defenses)

Cool, bro. Neither of these guys are the GOAT. Change my mind.

Jon Jones last reign alone, which is after he returned clean, saw him do Khabib's entire 30 month reign in only 14 months lol.

It had 2 questionable decisions and 1 where he could have lost the belt if his opponent was not stupid

 

[dogsdonutsdragons]

jons goat.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Nah, Jon can entertain himself all he wants. It's totally fine to break down both of their careers right now since both are retired. So Jon's got plenty of time to debate online

He was in his 10th year as #1 and people still hadn’t figured him out lol

The difference between these two is that Jones has actually looked extremely beatable, especially in his last outings, while Khabib has looked literally invincible and is a nightmare matchup for basically anyone. Jones off the juice looks average as hell. He's a piece of shit mental midget that had to juice to the gills despite his physical advantages over 90% of all his opponents. He didn't even have the balls to fight Chael on short notice. lmao. Khabib mauls him p4p

That's not even true though. Khabib looked like shit against Tibau. Hell, just watch his own reaction to the decision, you get Rampage vs Machida vibes lmao. except of course Rampage had the integrity to admit that his opponent probably should have gotten the decision while Khabib just cried

His return after PEDs has been questionable. He beatup Gus but Gus is a broken man. He beat Anthony Smith and Smith could have won the belt if he accepted the DQ. He has questionable decisions against Santos and Reyes. He looked shit against OSP too.

That's implying he only abused PEDs from the moment he was caught.

Wasn't he suspended twice for doping too?

 

[herbertderbert]

Based on his body of work Jon Jones is arguably the GOAT, I'm not sure if anyone has ever looked more dominant than he did in his prime. However him testing positive for PED's multiple times will always put a stain on his GOAT claim.

Jones vs Khabib? It is not even a conversation.

I respect and like Khabib, but he has not even surpassed José Aldo, let alone Jones. Something about "levels to it"

 

[nintey]

Khabib was amazing but ended his career way to soon to ever be in the GOAT conversation.

Jones, Silva, GSP, Fedor, maybe Aldo. I don't see how anyone else could be in the debate.

 

[mudrubble]

15 title defenses if we count Jon beating his wife!

They weren't married so it doesn't count towards defenses, unfortunately.

 

[kingmob6]

Khabib was a journeyman

he journeys through your head and lives rent free

j/k

 

[g*r*b]

If you don't want to entertain these argument anymore, Jon, STOP TWEETING AND PUT DOWN YOUR FUCKING PHONE.

Benson has a stronger claim to LW GOAT than Khabib does.



That’s probably because Jon Jones had been reigning since before Khabib ever even entered the UFC and still was.

When he was on his 13th fight in the UFC like Khabib was, he was looking just as dominant. If not more so.

Benson most certainly does not. In terms of just performance and not shitting the bed, its pretty clearly Khabib unless Oli or Islam do something crazy.

Jon most certainly was fortunate to enter the UFC with little difficulty and made the absolute most out of that golden ticket. Man was a fucking force up until his last couple fights. Him and DJ are still who I consider the most well rounded MMA fighters of all time. If not for the constant PED controversies it'd be pretty unanimous that he's the GOAT.

 

[Islam Imamate]

Except one is an honorable fighter that never popped and the other is a piece of shit who was busted MULTIPLE times and beats up his own finance when he's not busy drunk driving into pregnant women.

Basically this. Lots of fans know that Jon has accomplished more in terms of strictly numbers but he's a proven steroid cheat as well as a wife beater and a drunk driver.

Also Jon has never, ever been in a bigger fight than Khabib has. Overall JJ has sold more PPVs but Khabib's last three were blockbusters and the Conor fight was obviously the biggest fight in MMA history last I checked.
