Jon Jones does not have 17 consecutive wins, he has 13 and then a NC because he was pulsing. Hate to nitpick but to me its an important detail.
As far as the conversation goes I actually think Khabib's GOAT status is a bit inflated as I agree that he needed to win more title fights to get there. Not as many as the others since he fought at LW where the competition is tougher, I think if he had five title defenses I'd be more willing to put his name among the likes of Jones, GSP, Fedor, and so on.
In my book the GOAT is GSP since he avenged all his losses, won 12 title fights in arguably the toughest division, won a belt up a weight class, and never popped for roids. I'd have Aldo at #2, kind of surprised more people don't rate Aldo as highly but I guess he does have some bad losses in the last few years.
