Oliveria is the uncrowned but Khabib is a - WHO IS THE NO.1 UFC LIGHTWEIGHT EVER!?!?!

[@dechef3009]

Oliveira in my opinion. Way more exiting fights and he isnt afraid to strike with anyone even though his strength is on the mat.

[@crocop1582]

Charles is the Goat. 1. Charles have more submission wins in UFC than khabib has total fights in the UFC. 2. Charles finished every top opponent that Khabib faced, in a faster and more dominating fashion. 3. Charles dropped the most dangerous striker with bombs, Justin before finishing him which khabib could never do in his lifetime no matter how much he try.

[@88RISINGupdate]

There is no easy road for anyone in this division when charles is at the top, he struggled to get there so Islam needs to struggle a bit also.

[@hebt9mlk]

What Chael said about Khabib was really interesting, he said “ Khabib never showed us how good he was, he showed us how better he was than the other fighters” that describes why many people, including me sometimes, that would hesitate about Khabib winning his next fight due to “Khabib’s next fighter is the real challenge” and this stuff. Really sad we couldn’t see more of him, and really glad he retired on the top, which not an easy thing to do.

[@slurp3194]

Lol khabib took zero damage so was never worried about khabib not finishing on top. His work eithic and mentality was just different level khabib never bleed in the octogan thats how much ahead he was.

@Shattered having the most 10-8 rounds is far more impressive. Literally means you were more dominant and your fights were more one sided than anyone else. And khabib and Charles had their first fights in the ufc about a year apart. Difference is khabib ragdolled everyone he fought since then and Charles got finished multiple times and couldn’t string together 5 wins for years let alone break records for dominance or consecutive rounds won

Khabib never took damage in any of his fights, GOAT status IMO

[@burekskremicem]

If you mean never got busted or cut, that's true. But his style complements it. He dives for legs and lays on top of you, wet blanketing you. Not really a realistic statistic to use. If he was a boxer that would be much more impressive than that. In the same sense you can tell he was never truly tested, what would have happened if he was in trouble, aka cut/stunned/wobbled/dropped etc. Charles definitely passed that test and evolved.

You can be like Sean O'Malley and fight unranked fighters for most of your career, get a few impressive wins in top 15 and you can use the argument he's undefeated in lets say 15 UFC fights.

Charles could arguably be the most dangerous LW in terms of his ability to finish a fight from just about any position. He does get caught a lot tho, and while he’s been so brilliant I always feel like in the back of my mind I’m expecting him to get caught and not come back in fights, khabib is the closest I feel I’ve ever seen to a FLAWLESS UFC fighter

A tone of respect Michael your a legend much respect from Ireland. My personal opinion comes down to this, Khabib never lost, Khabib made great fighters look extremely average out of place like they didn't belong in the cage, he's in the octagon taking harder positions or choke-outs chasing not to break bones. Khabib was taking pity on his opponents Khabib has nothing to prove every great light weight it was "This is the one, this is they guy who's gonna give Khabib trouble" no one ever did shit. He made them look completely out of their depth. The GAOT of GOAT's and extremely decent generous guy outside.

Very well said and agree on all points. Jones as a fighter is amazing sure but that tainted career and his personal shit outside the octagon just make him so unlikable. My biggest take with Khabib is that the man took more damage training than in an actual fight lol that's just badassery at it's finest.

[@nimzzor]

Khab did that to Justin and Justin only, let's not over exaggerat. Khab fought like 5 actual good fighters and the rest were PFL quality... Charles has fought WAY BETTER competition. Hence the losses on Charles's record, you don't go undefeated in the UFC unless your cheating or ot fighting the competition you should be. Usman, P4P, with a loss. Islam, most likely going to be top 10 p4p, has a loss, Charles, has losses.. Khab got to jump the line rather quickly once he got into the top 15. Much like Islam is going to.

Everything he said he wanted to do, he did. He said he would smash people, he did. he said he would make people tap and talk to them in the octagon, he did.

[@alphared3772]

The thing about Charles' losses are that most of them were at 145. If we're talking about the 155 GOAT, we should consider only their matches at 155. Charles is 23-3, and Khabib is 18-0. Lot closer than people imagine, as of now I think it's still Khabib due to more title defences, but I feel Charles will overtake him soon.

I THINK recent biasedness is coming into play slightly... Charles ofcourse looks unstoppable right now.. he's the man no question. But if this is a year and half ago and khabib is at the top where he was, then it wouldn't even be a question who is number 1 in my opinion. The main thing for me that makes khabib number 1 is the fact like Michael said, he was unbeaten, he didn't lose a round, and also.. he didn't get dropped once, didn't shed a drop of blood, didn't get a scratch. From anyone.. in mma this Is unheard of fullstop. 🐐

[@Sdot-od8jf]

Bro Charles looks unstoppable but still very stoppable considering he’s been knocked down and bled in round one of his past three fights. He’s got razor sharp focus and getting hurt only makes him sharper, so I’m a fan.

None of Charles’ recent wins have been as decisive as everyone says, even against Dustin he and a little trouble in round 1. He nearly lost to chandler and got nearly gets knocked out in every fight. Clearly the best 155er right now, but not on Khabibs level

[@papadiamond5925]

@@joeyz6415 he’s definitely in the conversation but the guy came into the ufc 16-0 and didn’t fight a ranked opponent until he was 25-0 and when he was on top didn’t reign for that long so it’s hard for me to put him over someone who has the most submissions and finishes in ufc history and most performance bonuses in ufc history and also needs 5 more fights to tie Anderson Silva’s longest win streak of all time and he needs like less then 10 fights to break Donald cerrones record for most fights all time so when it’s all said and done Charles will be 1st in alot of things.

[@stefanomasci7104]

But to assess who GLOAT is, we must only take into account the fights made within the lightweight division. Khabib is 29-0 but 11 of his 29 fights have been at welterweight. If we take Khabib's only lightweight fights into account, he's 18-0 being 13-0 in the UFC. Charles is 22-3 being 14-3 in the UFC, Khabib had to beat MJ and Edson to get the TS while Charles beat Kevin Lee and Tony, as champion they faced similar competition, Charles joins the GLOAT conversation with Khabib today.

[@VibhasPatil]

One aspect that has to be considered is the quality of opponents Charles has beaten - Tony Ferguson, Michael Chandler, Dustin Poirier, and Justin Gaethje. Also, the 8 losses cover his fights at featherweight as well as lightweight. Truth be told, if Charles wins against Islam and then perhaps beats Conor (Let's face it, we know Conor will fight for the title), he does unseat Khabib as the LW GOAT in my opinion. Personally, I like Charles' story more because it clearly shows someone who has almost risen from the ashes like a phoenix. When you see someone face a lot of adversity and then come out on top, it makes you appreciate them more. Oh and don't forget that we could see Charles v Volk some day too. That will be one hell of a fight but Charles beats Volk in my opinion.

[@yukfooo4784]

but you have to look at a matchup between them their is no way Charles could beat khabib he was unstoppable he would just keep smashing until he wanted to end the fight

Another stat to look at is Charles had 30 fights in the UFC and khabib had 13. I don’t think that favors anyone but it’s just a neat thing to consider. And it’s something to wonder about, if khabibs 29 fights were all in the ufc, would his record be the same?

[@marquistics7795]

Yeah man, that's what i don't like about khabib, he never fought enough or defended enough to be the GOAT imo. Plus he left in his prime. If he had cleaned out the division like what Kamaru's doing then we can say he was the greatest lightweight.

[@shufflerindamaking15]

at the same time khabib didnt need that many ufc fights to get to the belt, which should also be in consideration

Who’s more dangerous, though? That’s a tough call. Charles doesn’t just have better striking, it’s MUCH better. His muy thai is SCARY. And the way he jumps on people and submits them is scary. It’s not as simple as what you’ve listed. Charles takes damage but he finishes guys in 1-2 rounds.
