​​@@philippebaillargeon5204 I like him, he is very humble and you almost have to respect him and he's so easy to like unless... He is hated in America for some reason more than anywhere else it seems. It's like he was bound to clash with Diaz brothers who are a very American brand (tho Nate is less Systemic/American and is constantly clashing with Pretenders who are mostly American and struggles to fit into American Culture of Pretending.

[@berimbolosolo4953]

​@ExoXerxesTheStarSeed It's funny though Nick told a story about jogging through his own city or somewhere nearby in his own state and a lady stopped in her car opens the window and yells out at him "I hope GSP beats your ass!" LMAO, poor guy got too much hate from his own people so at that time it seemed like even the Americans liked GSP better, maybe they feel Nick doesn't represent US as well, he didn't deserve that though...

in a recent interview GSP said he really wanted to fight Habib but he retired. Imagine your favorite fighter, growing up, telling the world i wish could fight him.

[@shafqatishan437]

GSP didn't want to cut weight anymore and wanted the fight to be at middleweight or catchweight. Khabib wanted him at 155. After Khabib retired he already decided never to return. UFC tried to make the fight after Khabib's retirement, GSP agreed but still wanted it at catchweight. This fight was never happening.

[@SamzSKILLZ]

@@SamzSKILLZ yeah, but both also mentioned their weight requirements in multiple interviews. There was never anything between them.

[@Loganbub]

@@shafqatishan437 the timing never really worked out and yea weight was an issue. My thing is Khabib said he’d only do it at 155 which is unreasonable of a request for GSP imo. GSP never had issue from what I’ve seen him say with it at 170 which made all the sense in the world.

[@shafqatishan437]

@@Loganbub Khabib wasn't returning anyway. He wanted GSP at 155 when he was active. I agree that 170 was more reasonable if it had to happen then, in fact 185 would be the right weight if the fight happens now (which is unlikely anyway).

Take away that “if not the best” because I can name many off the bat who are far better. Jon Jones, Anderson Silva, GSP, Jose Aldo, Daniel Cormier, Miocic, Demetrius Johnson, Volkanovski even Usman. The criteria for the goat status is 1. Title defences 2. Who you beat 3. What you achieved. In none of those 3 categories does Khabib even come close to those guys. He may be the best lightweight we’ve seen in the UFC but in terms of best ever nowhere even close
