We finna act like career FW Max didn't move up and dominate half of Khabib's elite wins?

[Rampage_Jackson]

While what you said is factually true, let's remember that the Gatheje and Dustin that Max recently fought were 4 to 5 years after they fought Khabib, and those two had a lot of miles since then

like Max doesn't?

 

[Lars6]

Khabib finished Dustin who literally beat Max for an interim title

 

[Lars6]

By your logic, Khabib >>>> Max since Max lost to Conor and is 1-2 against Dustin

 

[MrBlackheart]

Now use that same logic with Ilia people love to act like he beat Volk, Max and Charles in their primes.

It’s funny how Islam beat a prime Volk and Olivera(both combined for a 23 fight win streak) and his wins get brushed off. But when Ilia does it, it’s the greatest wins in ufc history.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Peak Max would murder Khabib!

Is that the reason Khabib was -550 vs Holloway at 223?

Huh? Islam was on top of P4P lists because of those wins.

 

[Mike]

I'm not even a Khabib fan but how the hell can someone reasonably think beating the same dudes years later is MORE impressive?

That's fucking stupid.

 

[Preston broadus]

Khabib retired 10 yrs ago

 

[Adamant]

Finna?

 

[Pierce 34]

Doubt max could have beaten RDA

 

[hogwash]

As the resident slang officer, I'm here to clarify that "finna" means "fixing to", which means "getting ready to" or "about to", it's just been bastardaized through southern vernacular over the years. It likely predates anyone on this forum and their parents' parents'.

That said, it's fucking goofy to read

 

[MrBlackheart]

Huh? Islam was on top of P4P lists because of those wins.

Islam was #2 when he fought #1 Volk, Olivera was #3 when they fought.

The Dustin rematch Max was still flabby and didn't put on weight properly because he was still FW champ and going back down. Dustin was able to bully him physically in a way he couldn't this time.

Max with time to properly gain muscle and weight

DOMINATED Gaethje who was Khabib's last fight. Max was gonna win 50-44 or 50-43 before one of the most iconic KOs in MMA history.

Then he 49-46d Dustin arguably 50-45 shutout on a guy who just gave Islam a tough fight his last outing. Dropped and had him hurt badly 2 times.

Khabib's elite wins

RDA
Conor
Dustin
Justin

Max after a proper bulk straight up DOMINATED two of them. Just further shows how shallow Khabib's resume is and why he should not be anywhere near GOAT convos. Just left too much on the table with his legacy and resume. Max will be above Khabib on any respectable GOAT list.

He got absolutely destroyed vs the Dustin that Khabib fought. He beat Dustin who was already retired… I give you Gaethje, but Gaethje had much worse KO’s before. Khabib dominated all of these guys like they were nothing and he didnt got KO’ed by someone who is smaller than Joe Rogan and he didnt lose 8 fights either like Max, there’s a big difference.

2 of the guys on your list easily beat Max lol. Terrible comparison…

Nate beat Conor 2 years before Khabib did. And he did it in under 2 rounds whereas Khabib took nearly 4 rounds. Nate literally slapped Conor and turned him into a panic wrestler 2 full years before Khabib fought him.
