Media Tom Brady gives his two picks for UFC GOAT

[loisestrad]

Please elaborate the difference. Why in the world is Khabib deserving of best ever?

He's undefeated. That's something. Had quite a few fights at the highest level, won them all, only lost a couple of rounds.Could probably, based on an assertion of skills have won a few more fights. Basically he was one of the most dominant fighters in history.

He's obviously not amongst the GOATs, as that takes a body of work that Khabib simply doesn't have.

It's pretty simple stuff.

Saying Khabib is like saying “I don’t watch”.

But you're claiming best 2 and you didn't really provide a difference between best and greatest. He's one of the best, but top 2 is laughable. Ilia Topuria has a better resume than him.

You can easily spot a casual or semi-casual or a new fan of the sport if someone names Khabib as their GOAT.

Like Jon Jones right ?

How is statistical dominance not evidence?

Literally the most round per round dominance in UFC history.


It doesn't get more objective.

Until you factor in level of opponents. The guy won the LW title off of Al Iaquinta ffs. When you compare other fighters they have better names on their records.

But then you look at Khabib easily running through RDA, Gaethje who just beat the shit out of Fiziev or Poirier who he crushed while Dustin gave Islam a hard time.

And you realize Khabib was doing better the better the opposition became.

Beating high level fighters even more brutally.

You see him manhandling Luke and DC.

Now he's the best coach ever too.

Swims upstream.

A force of nature.

There is only one.

Lol @ putting Fiziev there as a major win for Gaethje. Khabib has 4 good wins at best. Other fighters have more top wins with less total fights.

It’s not possible to accurately measure whether or not someone is the best. You can “look” like you’re the best when you’re facing poor opposition. It’s also possible for a better fighter to appear to be less dominant than another against a common opponent, and still be better.

Greatness is really the only credible metric.

So now we get credit for beating the guy who beat the guy.

People are so jealous of this guy

29-0 never scratched

Justin is still a top LW even years after Khabib ran him over in his prime

 

[Sycho Sid]

Justin is still a top LW even years after Khabib ran him over in his prime.

Easier to do when you have had 6 fights in 5 years, and two of them with the same person.

 

[Cletus Fertitta]

Tom Brady was so obsessed with football that his personal life went to shit. You think he had time to actually pay attention to fights and have a valid opinion?

 

[hbombbisping]

Sounds like excuses

 

[Gregoire1]

It's like saying basketball GOATs are Jordan and Len Bias.

 

[14 division]

Islam, Jones, GSP
