Jones is the GOAT. Not Habib.
This is something him and his father started together, I don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to think he wouldn’t want to continue without his him. On top of that he promised his mother he wouldn’t continue to fight.The point is his father wanted him to go 30-0 and he is using his father as an excuse to stop 29-0, which doesn't make any sense.
I've listened to multiple media outlets, read multiple articles and it seems like everyone values a loss or adversity for MMA and find some way to hold that against Khabib(but not Jon or Izzy)
As @Ufcmaster , Dan Hardy has been preaching for about a year plus about Khabib not having a loss as a fighter. Says a fight on your record forces you to correct your mistakes and get you better as a fighter. I listened to a pocast which shall be named where one author argued that they value GSP's record over Khabib's because GSP has losses on his record and how he over came that. What? It's one thing to value his record, the quality of opponents, but simply because he has losses on his record? What?
Khabib is fighting elite level competition and dominating them. Why does he need to lose to prove he's great?
I agree failure can be life's best teacher, but I don't think you need to lose to necessarily get better. Khabib has shown us how much better than he is against everyone else, but he hasn't shown us the best khabib out there.
Wait, have people actually said that about usain bolt? LOLUsain Bolt has 12 golds, but can’t be goat unless someone beat him at the Olympics..
That sort of thinking is weird.
Some People like seeing someone come back from adversity, but I don’t think he needs to lose to be considered great
I bet you will find someone with that weird logic.Wait, have people actually said that about usain bolt? LOL
I loved when that kid said I'd have as big a chance as you had to beat gsp if i went in the octagon with him, which is true, because hardy had no fucking chance against gsp at all.Dan Hardy is a one dimensional fighter who gets triggered by 13 year olds on twitter. Wouldn't be ranked in today's division
Well putObviously it’s stupid to hold against someone not having any losses. People go to the extremes in these discussions. Losses are overstated as well.
Khabib’s record and performances have been amazing and he’s clearly among the best to ever do it. He wasn’t at the top for as many fights as some of his peers in the goat discussion. So ultimately his case will have supporters and detractors and there is no right or wrong answer, but he’s obviously in the mix.

That's actually good advice.You're way too invested in the accomplishments of others. Try to find your own identity and sense of self-worth.
Barely should've been ranked back thenDan Hardy is a one dimensional fighter who gets triggered by 13 year olds on twitter. Wouldn't be ranked in today's division
What's a hard style match up for Khabib?Hardy speaks some truth here but he came off in the wrong way. Khabib never fought a hard style matchup like other guys have. His resume is still great but he lacks the very difficult stylistic challenges i'd say other GOATS like Aldo,GSP and Silva face.
