Outside of Khabib, who are the most DOMINANT fighters in UFC history?????

[Lionheart7167]

Several of the fighters we know as GOATS have questionable wins.
Jones wins over Santos, Reyes and Gus (1) were closely contested, as was GSP win over Hendricks.
Islam got KO'ed early in his UFC career and was in a super close fight with Volk.

So who has the best record of domination? Not necessarily the best or most wins, but the fighter who was (or is) seemingly the most unstoppable?

Up until the Weidman fight, honestly it's very hard to imagine Anderson Silva losing to anyone.

The only time in his UFC run where he looked to be in trouble was the first Chael fight, but he absolutely dismantled GOAT Sonnen in the rematch

He dismantled all his challengers. It was especially impressive to see him wreck Henderson who was supposed to be a stylistic nightmare, and front kick TRTor Belfort into Bolivian

Khabib win over Tibau deserves to be there with these fights you listed

 

[Gregoire1]

Khabib have questionable win over Tibau and very questionable quantity and level of competition.
Jones, GSP, Andy, Fedor, Islam all are more dominant.

 

[Fergelmince]

It's not dominant to duck the weight class above you because you'll put your meager win streak in jeopardy.

 

[Ibm]

Anderson and he made it look easy.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Khabib have questionable win over Tibau and very questionable quantity and level of competition.
Jones, GSP, Andy, Fedor, Islam all are more dominant.

 

[Sycho Sid]

GSP won 33 rounds in a row, and only finally lost one because Shields was gouging his eyes.

But hey, he struggle with Hendricks in his last fight as an active competitor, so he obviously isn't dominant.

No he didn't chael was dominating the fight some more he just decided to do a dumb spinning back fist not saying Silva wouldn't win but just saying Silva did not dismantle him, he capitalized on chaels dumb mistake

You clearly don't understand what the word dominant means even if you think those guys have better resumes, none of them were close to as dominant given they've all had close fights and all of them have loses.

The funny thing is you bring up the Tibau fight for or Khabib, but fail to bring up the numerous close fights and EVEN LOSES the other guys have on your list.

Id rather have that close Tibau fight then the crazy ass wars every other person on that list has been in.

Forget outside UFC his 13 UFC fights no one comes close to that dominance


Dos Anjos, Michael Johson, Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier, Conor McGregor, Edson Barboza are not questionable level of competition

He dominated every single one of those.

The only thing you can say is its only 13 UFC fights, 3 title fights and he got out to young so it will never be a fair comparison.

If you exclude him based on that, thats totally fair, but to make up some BS about his level of competition is not fair.

Khamzat will probably be up there in the future, with his finishing and 10-8 ratio. He's yet to lose a 1st round. Aspinall, Topuria and Shavkat also have the potential.

 

[MarioLemieux]

Why are people mentioning Al?

Khabib dominated him 50-43 with 2 10-8 rounds

 

[RichardHarrow]

No one feel sorry for the dude who got slammed - he later became a bodyguard for Epstein.

Save a miracle - No one will ever best Khamzat in a first round.

Khabib was most dominant career but the man only fought 5 killers n last 5 years fought like 1 fight a year maybe 2 once. Tough to call him most do ina t when he wasn't tested enough

Right. Khaibib retired in his prime at age 31 and only fought a few Top 5 fighters. Jones and GSP both beat like 6 to 8 D1 wrestlers as well as strikers. Khabib doesn't belong in these kind of discussions. He was great when he fought but more of a "what if/how far could he have gone?" fighter. He didn't even break the LW title defense record but tied the record with BJ, Frankie and Bendo.
