He's not retiring for good at 30 years old and even if he 1 punched GSP, he'd still be well behind GSP, Silva, and Fedor for GOAT and even behind DC.
Holloway and Poirer were both not even close to as good as they would become. Conor does have an underrated resume by his haters, but wins against Max and Dustin look much better on paper then in reality considering the time he beat them. If Al develops into a top fighter in 5 years, it won't make him a great win for KhabibHow are Holloway, Poirer and Eddie not good wins? Certainly more solid then anyone Khabib has fought besides RDA and Barboza.
Fighting GSP isn’t a smart move for people that want to stay undefeated.
He wants to fight tony too
If he were to beat Conor and look really good doing so, there’s no way GSP would fight him. GSP will only cherry pick winnable fights at this point
when people talk about retiring undefeated they tend to lose not long after it
Diego Sanchez and Ronda to name 2Examples? Floyd has been talking about it for like 15 years, but besides him?
JJ as well now that i think about itDiego Sanchez and Ronda to name 2
Connie has 1 big win over Aldo. It's a great win. He doesn't have any other really tremendous wins. Mendes is definitely good and that's it.

Yeah, that scallywag GSP, cherry picking all those top contenders at WW to defend his belt against. And that bum cherry picker Conor, cherry picking Khabib who is going to smesh him. What a pair of pussies, fighting in a cage for your entertainment and cherry picking top opponents.Sounds good to me. Fuck connorr and george. Both cheater cherry pickers.
They're in the discussion by old fat guys that "MMA experience" amounts to getting hammered drunk and trying to watch a few juiced up monkeys fight each other.
Anderson was a very good fighter, but he hardly beat enough talent to consider him the GOAT. Then when you factor in the PEDs, there's zero chance.
Don't even get me started on Fedor.
Jon could've been despite his abysmal division due to the fact he was undefeated and dominant but PEDs has ruined his career too.
Guys like MM, Cruz, Aldo, GSP, and Edgar, maybe even throw a bone at BJ, are the real GOATs. With guys like Cejudo, TJ, Conor, Khabib, Tyron, DC, Whittaker, etc. knocking on the door. They'll all most likely be rendered irrelevant when the new age of MMA comes too though.
Like the post, but Cejudo already?
He and Woodley seem like the odd ones out in that list
Pettis, Formiga, and MM. I thought he got screwed against Benavidez. I'd say he's definitely on his way at least.
Tyron clearly lost to Wonderboy, but he still beat Gastelum, Lawler, and Maia. I think he makes easy work of everyone else in the division too outside of maybe Till and that's including if GSP wants to come back. Lots of potential to add to his legacy.
Relative to all time, Khabib hasn't done much in MMA.
RDA and Barboza are his 2 good wins. Everyone else he has fought is somewhere between okay and good.
In the all time, wins over RDA and Barboza do almost nothing.
Connie has 1 big win over Aldo. It's a great win. He doesn't have any other really tremendous wins. Mendes is definitely good and that's it.
Khabib being 26-0 is a really nice number. There's not a ton behind it other than that he has won a lot.
I don't think beating Connie will do much. Beating 37 year old GSP isn't the same as beating 27 year old Georges.
While I do have GSP as GOAT, GOAT isn't a belt. You don't beat the GOAT then become the GOAT.
It's an accumulation of achievements and Khabib is just too far from that.
Not gonna mention Poirier or holloway?
Let alone Alverez and how it was won? You know, the actual lightweight champ...
Or even the two fights at welterweight straight from featherweight?
Fair.
Holloway and Poirer certainly weren't the fighters they are now. When you beat someone matters, and he beat them both before they'd done anything of note.How are Holloway, Poirer and Eddie not good wins? Certainly more solid then anyone Khabib has fought besides RDA and Barboza.
