Media Khabib Nurmagomedov "I have to beat Dustin, Tony Ferguson & GSP to be P4P Number 1

[TheLastEmperorReurns]

It's a completely made up belt.

He won the 'belt' by fighting someone who has literally never once participated in the lightweight division. It was a cool 'super fight' of sorts but it wasn't anything related to the lightweight division.

He got to the belt by building up a win streak against absolute killers and then he beat a reigning champion going up in weight.

Reigning champs fight for titles in higher weight classes often; Nunes, Cejudo, Cormier, etc.

It would easily make him GOAT

So, Khabib figures he'd be the goat if he accomplished a 2nd and 3rd defense of his belt against and then a fight against GSP.

Compare the following legacies:
Khabib: defends his WW belt 3 times before taking on GSP, whose prime was easily a full decade ago
GSP: Lords over his belt for 9 consecutive defenses over 5 straight years before coming back from retirement. 4 years later to take the MW belt from arguably the weakest MW champion in over a decade. Holds 2 wins over the previous undisuputed WW Goat, Matt Hughes

khabib is a mile away from threatening GSP's claim to greatness.

Khabib would need to do what he said and then go on to defend his belt for a few more years and rack up some significant title defenses to even sniff at GSP's title of WW GOAT

He got to the belt by building up a win streak against absolute killers and then he beat a reigning champion going up in weight.

He went 1-0-1 with Alvarez and beat JG coming off a KO loss. Good but I wouldn't call that 'absolute monsters.' Pettis was also in a career spiral and substantial losing streak.

Reigning champs fight for titles in higher weight classes often; Nunes, Cejudo, Cormier, etc.

Yes, they can challenge for a belt. Obviously you can't WIN a belt from someone whos literally never fought in the division. That is ridiculous at face value.

He barely beat ragin al,the diamond coming in swinging,all of khabib fights are top 5 gatekeepers and no motivation conor,dustin by tko

He barely beat Al? Dude literally won every round.,Sometimes I wonder if y’all actually watch these fights Lol

 

[MMA Crazy TV]

al was a tough fight for him but was short notice

 

[Roljo]

He seems really unmotivated. Liked he’s fighting cause he feels he should and not because he wants to.

More like tired because he has given 110% his whole life, he feels it's close to the end, a few more fights and his legacy will be done.
