How people forget Anderson Silva's reign is really beyond me. The highlight reel ko's over and over vs very good competition AND he wasn't afraid to fight at LHW. Making very good fighters look novice. Not to mention the short notice fight after his prime vs a prime DC who wanted absolutely nothing to do with Silva's standup. Also his recent success in a totally different discipline (boxing) vs a former legitimate prize fighter. Still holds the record for most consecutive title defenses and the manner in which he did it.

Yeah but Anderson Silva lost his shine as soon as he got knocked out by Weidman then lost again to him then went on to lose to Adesanya, DC, Cannonier, Bisping, Hall & even got popped for steroids after the Diaz fight.

Not sure about you but the majority of the mma community is disappointed with him after he popped for steroids. Also it of course makes you think that since most of his dominance was pre-USADA, it's easy to say that he was most probably roided during those times as well. It's also why people forget about GSP as well (the running away from big rig didn't do him any favors either).

[@ctc1996]

Not really lol. Poirier and Eddie Alvarez starched gaethje and it’s a known fact Justin only a white belt in jiu jitsu. Lmfaooo he’s a c+ fighter at best. Conor would have rearranged his facial structure. People gas Justin cuz he beat up Tony who has zero boxing skills pretty much and uses a wing Chung dummy to train. Tony just stood there with no head movement and a granite chin. Justin is alright. He loses to poirier , mcgregor, Khabib , every time .

[@jessiejoy1703]

@@ctc1996 I’m sorry friend if you’re gonna sit there and claim that both Dustin porier (whom I like btw) and Eddie Alvarez are better than Tony Ferguson then ur gonna need some pretty impressive points to back that argument up lol. Ferguson is a one of a kind fighter and most ppl know that. Ppl were psyching up Gaethje because he slaughtered Ferguson, and no one has done that before, so yeah, that’s is something to be impressed about. And even before that all of his fights were always competitive and thrilling to watch honestly. He did lose. But he lost in good fights and learned from them. And finally the icing on top was Gaethjes world class wrestling. Khabib is a wrestler, he had never fought anyone in the UFC who was also a decorated wrestler. That is why the hype for Gaethje was real. And his ass beating from khabib says nothing about Gaethje and everything about khabib. Gaethje didn’t lose because he isn’t good. He lost because khabib is practically indestructible. Gaethje gave him some staggeringly hard hits and khabib brushed them off like it was nothing. And then he outclassed a world class wrestler in seconds. The dude is next fucking level. I don’t I know of anyone who could beat him. But I would’ve loved to see Ferguson get that chance too.

[@ctc1996]

@@jessiejoy1703 “people were hyping Justin bc he slaughtered gaethje which never been done before” um yes it had been done before. Michael Johnson beat Tony already.

Khabib is not only undefeated but never bled! Almost everyone I know has bled and no one in mma is not only undefeated but has also never bled, no one as far as I know, except Khabib. I have gotten more hurt by myself, tripping or being clumsy, than khabib has in his career.

[@civilwarwasaninsidejob7405]

Never bleeding has nothing to do with whose the greatest of all time. You can tell who all the new age MMA fans are. Most have never watched a fight pre 2015. Khabib is in the conversation, but I'll take GSP's and Jon Jones resumes. Also, both Jones and GSP have moved weight classes and didn't suffer any drop in performance. Jones was banging coke lines and partying 6 nights a week, while still beating greats.

[@tackmerci9313]

I believe that if Khabib had not retired, he would have continued to dominate his division and defeat any fighter who challenged him for many years to come, as he had already proven his abilities in his impressive undefeated record. This was also evident in the recent performance of Islam Makhachev, who showed his strength by defeating Oliveira, a highly hyped fighter at the time.

[@marcorosas7614]

Exactly, the new contendants for the title, Oliveira or Chandler, would be defetead by khabib.

[@bengough6772]

Yeah lol people complain he didn't beat enough top guys... Who was left? Charles? After what Islam did I believe Khabib does similar... Tony... Well after gaetjhe Tony doesn't look so good so khabib wins... And then? Chandler? Doubt Khabib woukd have had an issue... So why do we doubt he's one of the greatest

[@notpaper-cr6ni]

Not exactly. While khabib may have had more in him when he retired but not enough to gap jones. Jones has shown a very diverse style and he doesn’t just fight the best strikers. He fights the best. Jon is on a whole different level. In conclusion Jon bones is the best. Khabib could have gotten close if he didn’t retire.

[@dannywhite7786]

Nah buddy shoulda coulda woulda. I believe Khabib was getting knocked tf out in his next fight by guys who actually present the threat of grappling also. HE DIDNT FIGHT OLIVEIRA CHANDLER OR DARIUSH. You don’t just give him those wins. Ducked Tony his whole career

[@jaelonwillis2336]

@@bengough6772it really doesnt matter though, he retired early so it is all just speculation. It means as much as me saying “Khabib would have been the greatest gladiator alive if he was Roman”. Meanwhile we can prove Jons, GSP, and Andersons dominance. He just didnt prove himself, especially with those dozens of wins he got in those weird two round russian mma matches against cab drivers and streetsweepers. I like Khabib but he is always going to be the biggest “what if”. And dont sleep on Chandler and Oliveira, those dudes probably have the most threatening atylistic matchups for a wrestler like khabib. Chandler never fails to keep the fight standing with his insane explosive wrestling and striking, and oliveira has proven he can submit just about anyone from anywhere. Khabib is definetely a different beast but I believe they had a better chance than most people let on.

Jon jones is without a doubt a Great Fighter, but as he said Khabib was just flawless... i mean i just recently had my Khabib Full Story dose were i rewatched his start and end of his fighting carrer and there is no other word as Flawless... he is simply a different Animal, he fought against the Top Fighters and made it look like it was nothing! He dominated every round, he is respectful and humble. Befor Khabib i always hated it when Fighters started Grappling and Submissions, but seeing him do it, was like a work of Art, just like his Punches and Kicks and now i wish for that and hope to see another artist at work. Khabib was for me the first Fighter who was perfectly balanced and was not only great in all aspects, it also looked great, from Grappling to Hand to Feet Combat, Great intuition, huge Stamina and endurance, i mean he never sat down after each round against Mcregor, he escaped a Guillotine choke just to Submission Poirier seconds after...thats crazy!

I base a Champion a Goat in all their aspects, and if that person can make me start thinking after he said something wise. Thats something i never had of any ufc fighter and jones is far from it, they all lets say simple.

This is the best comment here. JJ is a trash star. Sure he accomplished a lot but nowhere near worth being considered the GOAT. The goat is more than a record.

JJ needs to fight against his own character to convince weak minded fans that he is the best to ever do it. The real ones know what it was to watch GSP and Khabib truly own their sport and display an otherworldly level of dedication. Jon Jones was blessed with genetics and coming from a sports family and put his weight class on blast for years, no doubt. But his scumbag nature detracts from his legacy and IMO he is tarnished gold. Khabib and GSP are platinum.

[@americangangster1911]

It's because Jon Jones has had 16 world titles wrapped around his waist and Khabib has only had 4. Jon is still undefeated in the UFC, nobody has ever beaten him, he has only disqualified himself and had a no contest because of picograms of a steroid which Jeff novinsky said had no performance enhancing benefit and were caused by a tainted supplement that usada tested and proved that the supplement was tainted and it was consistent with what was found in Jon's body. The steroid excuse is just an excuse and a way for haters to discredit him. Jon's body of work literally dwarfs Khabib's. Khabib is not the first guy to have a 13 fight win streak in the UFC, Anderson Silva did it, GSP did it, Mighty Mouse did it, Tony Ferguson did it ect, and if you want to talk title defenses Ronda Rousey has more title defenses than Khabib, Tito Ortiz has more than Khabib, Chuck Liddell has more than Khabib, Jose Aldo has more, Matt hughes, Tyrone woodley, Renan Barao, Pat Miletich, Frank Shamrock, Amanda Nunes, all of these people have more title defenses than Khabib and at the end of the day that's really what matters, title fights because they're the highest level fight that a person can fight in the UFC.

@@batman_diaries I agree that just because someone is good in one area of their life (i.e. being a good son), it does not make them a great human being. I also agree that Manny is an amazing person, in and out of the ring. However, I disagree with the implication that Khabib is not - if that is what you were implying...I may have misunderstood you there. Khabib has done a lot for his home town, specifically helping the local kids and the schools...in fact, he and Pacman have a lot in common with their philanthropy choices. Though, I don't know how much he "has changed" Dagestan as a whole...I honestly donj't keep up with any celeb's personal life that much...I just know what I see/read. God bless bud.

[@tasadiri54]

The GOAT for me is not someone with the most win or title defences...It's someone who is best in his game and can make people fall in love with him with his nature and actions..N for me that is KHABIB

[@LosHitman]

Wrong Gsp is he did all that aswell

[@Itsyourboy_ray]

first he has 13 ufc fights(all wins), but if you are talking about the 29 wins being impressive then you should take a look at a fighter called Dan Severn who has a record of 101-19-1. Now which is better, 29-0-0 or 101-19-1? The latter of course. However, the reason as to why Dan Severn is no way near the goat talk is because in the ufc he had 13 fights same as khabib but Dan's ufc record was 9-4-0 and never secured any belts. So yes Khabib's undefeated run is impressive but a mere 13 wins is nothing compared to gsp 13 title fight wins (26 wins overall) and jones 14 title fight wins (26 wins overall) and anderson silva 16 win streak (34 wins overall) title wins is what makes a goat in the mma world

@@bonez_206 In which he also knocked tf out and tapped tf out of the same people who did that to him after, losses don't matter unless if it affected the fighter themselves and made them worse. Boxing is probably the only sport that emphasizes the "iM unDeFeAtEd" thing so much. GSP lost some and then came back 10x better and won it back there's a reason it's called a 'record' it's just your history of fights, GSP when he lost is not as good as the GSP that avenged his loss. Being undefeated in the UFC is amazing because the competition's always spicy between two top contenders I'll give khabib that, but with your logic, everybody from the hall of fame other than khabib aren't good because they lost against opponents too? (Which were really good by the way)

You cant have this conversation w/o GSP in the talks. Fight resume's of both GSP and JJ far out classes that of Khabib. GSP jumped up in weight and that is why I think JJ is doing that. He understands that a title in another weight category and go up to boot, gives him the nod over GSP.
