Khabib was number one contender by Dec 2014 but only got his title shot in 2018. Imagine how many title defences he could have had if injuries etc. didn't delay his title shot. At least 8. Crazy.

[@rakhimovsamar6376]

A.G JiJi right, he mentioned that Khabib didn't fight for a while due to his injury several times but didn't mention Corner didn't defent his title for 2 years for no reason... Also Khabib haven't been defeated yet, Corner had, has and will have the chance to fight Khabib if he only dares it!!!

If ur a new fan and ur like “None of this makes any sense?!” Welcome to being a fan of mma

[@zhixci958]

Im new and the only thing doesnt make sense are the shuffles and khabib being champion even though he didnt beat the champion. He beat the top 10. If mcgregor was inactive or was unable to defend his title shouldnt the top guys be the one fighting for the title like alvarez vs feguson or ferguson vs khabib The logic in this rankings are weird

[@KaraokeNig]

He was supposed to fight Tony Ferguson who was number one contender for the belt at that time, unfortunately their fight was not ment to happen again [i think for the 4th time?] because Tony got injured during his training. Al Iaquinta sub for him at short notice and put up a good fight. correct me if iam wrong.

[@nasiroday1824]

Khabib was supposed to fight ferguson but ferguson got injured, then max holloway came in and would take fergusons spot but max holloway didnt make weight, so what happened was that kabib fought against al iqauinta who took the fight and accepted to fight against khabib with short notice (he only had 6days to prepare). Maybe if Conor didnt attack bus and create chaos, then conor could´ve actually taken the spot to replace ferguson.....

[@melianucho]

It's not that conor was "unable" to fight, it's just that he was afraid of khabib and had plenty of money

[@rubixcube7234]

Bene But he beat conor mcgregor who’s a double champ

This is really cool. Must've taken a lot of time, thanks for putting it together.

[@djo8687]

How did khabib get up there without ever fighting top 5s

[@fvue7663]

rob chad he fought Edson. Conor never fought any top 5 except Alvarez. Tony is is the best lightweight.

[@djo8687]

Tank Vue edson was on his downfall already, and he beat the P4P fighter in 13 sec come on now

[@51dodoc]

Try to follow, Johnson make it to the top 5, Edson to the top 3 (he forgot to mention this fight in the video) and RDA was the champion.

[@raihanbaid367]

rob chad edson was on his downfall after got defeated by khabib,before that he scored brutal flying knee if i’m not mistaken

[@artcore9886]

Doesn't matter if you're destined to become the champ.

[@abeeftec]

Wow, Khabib moved up from 6 or 7 to 1 without a single fight. That REALLY isnt fair.

[@isaacharton7851]

Yup, he is Luckbib.

[@eytanos]

Middleweight or bantamweight

[@matthewmelange]

Thanks for making this video, I was wondering how Alvarez was able to skip ahead of Ferguson.

[@shaunbang]

Pretty interesting that Frankie Edgar was even in the top 10 in 2013 while Gray Maynard was still in there. I wonder why he was taken off completely since he only lost the belt to Benson Henderson and hadn’t lost to anyone in both 145 or 155.

[@bigweiner4208]

He switched to feather permanently that's why.

Khabib😍👍💪💪

[@italianstalian331]

Just the fact that khabib went from 7 to 4 to 1 in 1 year with 1 fight while tony wasnt even ranked yet tony got the title before khabib

[@WoodsmanSkills]

Tony Furgeson the type of guy to punch a usada tester just to show them how clean his punches are

[@Savage-mb6zz]

Khabib time but fr i truly believe that khabib will be a dominate champion like gsp,anderson silva and jon jones but at the end he will p4p #1 and retire undefeated.

[@MRAzizNuman]

John Homes then where's was ur notorious one oh wait he committed a crime and has a court date the way I see it tony fucked up his knee by tripping over cables , Connor dealing with law suits and others just pussied out except Al

[@MRAzizNuman]

John Homes he may not have the best striking in the division but his ground game makes up for that

[@Savage-mb6zz]

SoullessPotato tell me whos undefeated between all these fight ers no one, khabib is the only undefeated fighter who barely took damage his whole career plus khabib striking is realy good even as good of a striker as anderson silva is he was was impressed by khabibs striking i think anderson slive knows more than kid behind a screen like you.

[@51dodoc]

Khabib has all the tools to be a dominant champion but he take way too much risk inside the cage, he traded punch with Johnson, traded kick with Barboza and decided to box with Raging Al for 3 rounds. He has an iron chin because the shots he took from Johnson and Barboza were deadly but one day his chin might fail him sadly.

[@proudscottishlad5275]

All that needs to happen is a really good wrestler with decent stand up like Justin gaethje...i think gaethje has that,some fighters struggle with others but don't,styles make fights.

hahhahahah Conor is not a top 10 LWs Tony?? how? why?? he got whopped by MJ and got absolutly destroyed by Gaethje... he almost never fought guys on a W streak! Khabib is the GOAT, stopping prime RDA on a 5 fight W streak, MJ on a 3 fight W streak including a spectacular finish on poirier, Barboza on a 3 fight W streak, pat healy on a 6 fight win streak, mcgregor, poirer on a 5 fight win streak (including 3 former champs)

february 2013... Holy shit that top10

[@Sam-ng3of]

8:09 Khabib should have rightly had his title shot after being 7-0 in the UFC (and smashing prime RDA who became champ) but the Dana's politics gifted a title shot to Conor because it'd make more money. And thus the hatred towards Conor ("Dana's son") was born. Instead of Khabib vs Barboza it should have been Khabib vs Alvarez (c).

[@bloodwolf9428]

Its not set in stone I think but lets hope for the best. Khabib deserved the shot and with Tony out and Conor inactive as champ Khabib is the only one in that division that deserved it until his first test against Tony or Conor

[@part1801]

McGregor basically skipped the entire LW division after losing to Nate badly and then squeaks out a win in fight two; without that, Conor doesn't sniff that belt
