Lets say Khabib goes 30-0. Does he surpass Fedor?

[MuayThai101]

Lets imagine he stays healthy. He is only 29 years old. What if he continues his run and dominates the LW division and goes 30-0 beating all the top contenders. Will he surpass Fedor as the greatest Russian to ever do it?

If not, what else does he have to do in your mind?

 

[faustian]

Still just a LW tho

 

[DaviVasco]

I did try to visualize that scenario but khabib got injured . Sorry op, not happening. Injuries get more often and worse as we age, not the other way around it

 

[Frankie Baby!]

Yea

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

Half of those wins are certified can wins

 

[galleryy]

he surpasses fedor in tiramisu consumption /thread

 

[mb23100]

He would need 6 more wins so he would be well into his 50s with how frequently he actually makes it to the Octagon

If someone could actually win the LW belt and defend it 4 or 5 times, you would have to at least put them in the GOAT discussion. Nobody stays on top of the LW division. Nobody has ever gone on that kind of run at LW.

 

[elreece]

he has been can crushing like fedor so sure why not

 

[Kingz]

Julio Cesar Neves already did it. Since a win is a win

 

[Chivas GDL]

Half of those wins are certified can wins

That can be said for both guys

 

[pick999]

not better than phil baroni

 

[theleerygoose]

Fedor or Khabib? Cuz Fedor was the mutha fukn king of crushing cans.

 

[greenhawk]

Yes he would. 8 wins in UFC is better than Fedors whole record.

 

[MattyPeq]

He already has surpassed Fedor, in the p4p rankings of all time.
Not quite at Demetrious Johnson level, but he is working his way up there.

Still just a LW tho

 

[Summoning]

One rule HWs for a decade... the other want to cut to Featherweight.

 

[Katsumi Yamada]

That can be said for both guys

Fedor was fighting world class opposition by his 4th fight and won the world title in his 14th fight.

Very different from khabib who didn't fight anyone decent until he was 17-0 and in the UFC

LOL this is such an underrated comment. Don’t know if it was planned out or just turned out this way.

 

[RoyJonesJr]

if he can win the belt, stay healthy, and defend it more than 3 times than ya i suppose


But he can;t just keep winning, get injured, then disappear for a year and expect to be the GOAT. He needs to stay healthy and win and defend
