I see a lot of posts mentioning that Khabib is not really dominant as the people he faced went on to lose but... Isn't that how the lightweight division has always been? Fiercely competitive where anyone can beat anyone on a given day?
The stuff that is said about his opposition can be said about Tony's too.
Kevin Lee went on to lose.
Edson got dominated a few times although khabib mauled him worse.
Cowboy has a number of losses, so does Pettis.
Even the people has not yet faced do have loses like Justin who was knocked out a few times.
IMO, khabib deserves credit for being undefeated where keeping a win streak going is so hard, as evident. So does Tony, both are two of the best lightweights ever, despite their opponents going on to lose because that is to be expected in the division.
