Not even close. Cejudo arguably lost to MM, TJ was fighting 125 and looked like death, Moraes is a good win, but it came with adversity. Cruz hadn’t won a fight in 4-5 years before facing Cejudo.The nature of the GOAT discussion is that it is subjective. Okamoto is being clear about what he is considering.
That said, I don't know that according to his criterion Khabib should be the goat. Top of my head, Cejudo's back to back victories over MM, TJ, Moraes and Cruz is p4p a better stretch than Khabib's (Conor-Poirier-Gaethje)
Khabib completely dominated 3 guys who were all ranked among p4p best fighters in the world in that exact moment. No one has done anything similar.
