Media Michael Jai White: Khabib Can't Claim to be the GOAT, Jon "Bones" Jones Is

This whole thing is so infuriatingly stupid.

Khabib never claimed to be the best all time, just P4P number 1 at the moment.

Jones for whatever reason conflated Khabib's claim to be P4P #1 as somehow claiming to be the GOAT.

If you asked Khabib right now if he thought he was the best ever he'd say no. Actually he already dubbed GSP the mma GOAT in multiple interviews.

So literally all these conversations over the last few weeks have been pointless lol.

Khabib defended his title 3 times and some newbs want to call him GOAT. GTFO. As far as UFC goes, it has to be MM, GSP or Anderson.
 
Did this guy really just say a 48-44 against Anthony fucking Smith and two Split decisions against Santos and Reyes is more impressive than finishing Conor Poirier and Gaethje.

If he means by they are not comparable cause Khabibs are soo soo much more impressive then he's right.

To be fair to Jon this is at the end of his run after a lengthy run. Before that Jon was smashing fools.

Lets see Khabib go on the same type of run and see how his fights look when he's on the same "timeline" as Jon is right now
 
If ever there were a person whose opinion on professional fighting I was deeply concerned with paying heed to, it was Michael J White.

Yeah this pretty much wraps up the debate. No more goat threads.
 
Didn't michael jai white just whoop on jones in the gym? Hes just trying to make his win look better here nothing to see.....

Seriously tho everyone knows jon has a better resume. Khabib being considered #1 p4p currently has nothing to do with that tho. I think everyone understands this EXCEPT for jones (unless he thinks his last 2 split decisions are better than khabibs recent performances).

As for goat its just a matter of your stance on PEDs as the resumes aren't really comparable. Jones really needs to stop his tantrum on this, and stop letting actors beat him up in exchange for props. Its a bad look. Actually, by jones standards its not THAT bad a look...
 
Jones used PEDs and arguably lost several of his fights while having a size advantage.

Khabib has dominated everyone he’s faced

Did you miss Jones' early UFC career? (Your point about PEDs is fair enough)
 


  • Makes a scenario where he excuses Jon Jones PEDs and still says even without it, Khabib's wins don't compare with Jon Jones
  • Acknowledges Jon's outside of the octagon issues, says Khabib has no outside blemish really but can't compare their resume
  • People like khabib more because there's no blemish
  • Vlad brings up both total fighters record, but Jon Jones want to just focus on each fighters championship run and says Jon is more impressive(I get the sense that neither Vlad nor Michael J. White knew that Jones' only loss is a disputed one??)
  • Jon beat 4 champions in his first 4title fights
  • The rest of the interview they talk about don frye

MJW, The more the guy talks about how tough he is the more I start to think he’s overrated and Khabib doesn’t calm himself the GOAT other FIGHTERS did
