What's the logic Khabib challenging 40yr old 170 GOAT GSP, but scared to fight current 170'ers?

Who has Khabib shook more? Conor fans or GSP fans?
Everyone knows Khabib beats the shit out of GSP, including GSP.
The fight will never happen so you can stop making these threads

He knows GSP is the only person who might test his grappling, no one else up to 170 will. Khabib still plays his game at will with GSP prime or not.

Usman is terrified of Khabib

If it was that much a walk in the park, he would have retired a double champ. He didn't.
But his team knows people are dumb enough to asign him goat level status at 170 without him even testing himself there. So he wins both ways.

People with records/legacy to lose don't like making risks. It's why DJ wouldn't fight TJ, but Cejudo was more than keen.
Why GSP didn't want to fight Silva.
Why Silva didn't want to fight Jones.
Why Jones took forever (and still has yet to fight) at HW.
Is normal.

Really? A division with Maia, Burns, Usman, Colby, & Chiesa couldn't test Khabib's grappling??
That might be the dumbest thing I've ever read on Sherdog, & that's saying something!

Because GSP has a respected name and is considered one of the all-time greats?

Fighting GSP is still a risk to his legacy. If he wanted a risk-free 30-0 he could accept $$$ to fight Conor again.

I agree. But don't think GSP is a risk the way Usman is a risk.
Who knows though. Maybe it's Ali thing as well.

Not really, he seems to focus on one task at a time and finish it.
Cock hopping from division to division like Conor is embarrassing
Dedicating your career and cleaning out a division with 29 wins is far more impressive

Really? When DC openly says he struggles with Khabib?
People know Khabib is an amazing grappler, but he really is something special when it comes to MMA grappling.
What did Usman do to Woodley for 5 rounds? Just hold him and barely laid a beating.
Burns is a great Jiu Jitsu player and world champ, but I dont think he gets to utilize his BJJ that much.
Maia would be his best test, and I still think Khabib would get top position and impose the smesh

Stopped reading at "DC says..." as if his word is gospel. He said the same hyperbolic shit about Rockhold & Cain.

Any person that participates in grappling arts even at high a level, or is a grappling fan knows how unique Khabib is, and how good he is at using his style of grappling in MMA.
