This will still have to settle in, but the more time will pass, the more people will realize that we witnessed history surrounding a man, raised and trained in the Dagestani mountains, becoming bigger then the sport itself and retiring as undefeated undisputed champion 🦅 Some stats to highlight his career. -13 UFC fights, (allegedly ‘officially’ only losing 1 round). -Never been knocked down nor cut -Undefeated in the 155 division (which has been fittingly described as one of the toughest division(s) if not toughest) -3 title defenses, against a double champ, an interim champ, and Justin the interim champ, who beat Tony who possessed the longest winning streak in UFC lightweight history). Worth mentioning as well, Justin has never been submitted in his entire career... Fighting a minimum of a decade in MMA and possessing stats such as above is truly mission impossible, unless your name is Khabib. What an incredible achievement from a mma icon and truly a sports/mma legend. Khabib introduced an unprecedented ground game to the UFC. Underestimated for his boxing as well, he went toe to toe with the best strikers in the division. Khabib also brought honor, respect and loyalty to the game when at times this was overshowed in favor of ‘commercial trash talk’. Khabib and goat status will never be seperated from each other whenever his legacy will be discussed. While history was made and a legacy set in stone, Khabib reminded the world a lesson, ‘be good with your parents’.

I'M TRULY DEEPLY HAPPY AND GRATEFUL TO HAD A CHANCE IN MY LIFETIME TO KNEW ABOUT KHABIB NURMAGOMEDOV 🙏 ❤ 🙌 💓 💖 💙 MAY GOD REST HIS FATHER SOUL IN PEACE. STAY BLESSED AND SAFE GUYS

[@ClementeQuinones]

Against Conor he fought for his family, his culture, his religion, and his country. Against Dustin he fought with joy and pride as a warrior not dealing with the stress and antics McGregor pulled With Justin he fought through an abnormal amount of grief for his family, his legacy, and all with injuries and the pressure of the world to perform well. He did it all while making it look easy and forcing all his opponents to have to adapt to defend his style. He's a true legend of the sport

[@mixingworlds]

He is the goat because 1. 29-0 Because 2. Most dominant fighter.

[@wayoner2921]

Khabib to Justin prefight interview:" Be careful brother, I have very good jab... I have some thing special for you..." AKA the very first in UFC and most spectacular triangle submission. 🐐 special gift to Justin.😂

He threw that one quick too

[@ricardobjj24]

It was a good 50/50 fight on the feet I was enjoying watching Khabib exchange with Gaethje he took and gave some good shots before he took him down and finished. Its crazy how good he is, greatest grappler ive ever seen.

[@irgendwerirgendwo2720]

he was even on advantage on the feet. Justin just got a few low kicks in. What was wrong with justin that night??? Not taking away credit from khabib, but justin seemed gassed from the start of the first round

Khabib is the greatest fighter I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I have watched Ali rope a dope, I have watched Tyson (both mike and fury), I have watched Jon Jones dominate for so long that the game caught up to him and Anderson silva fight until his bones betrayed him and through all of that Khabib has risen to the top of that pile. Good luck young man, condolences on your loss and know that your victories have meant a great deal to more than just your father and you. Well done, Sir.

[@muhammetyusufyagiz1073]

That decision was definetly not emotional he said he talked 3 days to his mother about fighting this one last time

[@Ritalie]

I've been reading hundreds of comments on all the post fight videos, and all of Khabib's fans are now Gaethje fans. So Khabib sent Gaethje all of his fans, because both guys were so respectful. Khabib's fan admire Gaethje now. Gaethje probably just doubled his fan base.

[@preciouslouis7634]

Haha good one

[@robbiegloverofficial]

2:40 - Nailed it, that is all that is needed to be said! Justin Gaethje was the guy he needed to beat to pretty much nail any doubts simply because of what Justin brings and how he because of this Khabib had to keep it more on the feet during the fight. I was heartbroken Justin didn't get the win but at the same time Khabib deserves to have a wonderful retirement and Justin is one of the best and brings a real threat to the division which we are so lucky to be able to see, I look forward to seeing him hold the title someday soon and sending lots of love to Khabib, he deserves to put his feet up now and thank you for all he brought for our entertainment. ❤️🙏🏼 It's a new chapter in the lightweight division and I'm really looking forward to it (we can all look forward to this now) ❤️🙏🏼

@john luongo That's when I realized that although Kevin Lee's wrestling might be similar to Khabib he doesn't have Khabib's chin. Khabib did get hit with the same kick but Khabib brushed it off while Lee did do a little dance but to Lee's credit he did get a take down right afterwards.

32 is pushing the prime boundaries, especially 34-35 is. 33 or Larry Bird's number or Jesus' age at death or Freemasonry's favorite number may be the last year of prime for a fighter. Of course, everybody's different, but ah, there's only so far science can preserve the eyes, the ears, the nose, the mouth, the joints, the muscles, the bones, the balance, the lungs, the mind.

[@TRIIGGAVELLI]

@@blockaderunner You must not know anything about male biology. A man doesn't hit his "prime" until his early to mid 30s. I'm assuming you're like 21 or something.
