All he had to do was to get into GOAT argument. Entire sherdog is now arguing whether he is the GOAT or not. Fighters, Dana, Rogan, media is calling Khabib GOAT. Having one true GOAT is probably very unlikely in this sport. In future when new GOATs will have tons of title defences and other accomplishments, people will be comparing them to Khabib's undefeated record in one of the toughest divisions ever, they'd be comparing Khabib's p4p wins against these new GOATs, comparing the utter domination that is near impossible to achieve. All Khabib had to do was to get into the GOAT debate and he did just that.

Haters will keep on crying "Not my GOAT" but it is already too late.

Khabib bless.
 
Yeah, for me he's in the discussion.


He's not top for me but I won't argue with anyone putting him in the discussion for sure.
 
Depends on your stance on people who have failed drug tests imo, Jones and Anderson would be clearly ranked above him should the whole failing drug tests not matter too much to you as an individual.
Fedor and GSP are still above Khabib regardless.
 
I'm confused as to why failed drug tests wouldn't matter. Last time I checked, there are multiple athletes in the conversation for greatest of all time who didn't get caught CHEATING, let alone get caught multiple times.

That is not the point. Point is that different people have different GOATs. It mostly comes down to who is your fav fighter among the top greats. Somebody who hates Khabib will never accept him as GOAT no matter what. The best he could have done is to get in the GOAT debate between lots of people and that is exactly what is happenning now between the hardcores here, in the media, among fighters and mma industry.

For me, it doesn't eradicate them completely but it definitely doesn't put them indefinitely at the top. Silva in his prime never got caught, the same way Fedor never got caught in an organisation that didn't drug test.

The sport now is a very different sport it was in the mid to late 2000s so I try and view it for what it was back then.
 
The majority of mma fans think khabib is the goat. Sherdoggers should just accept this fact.
 
He is the best 155 of the history but not the mma goat.

That's the thing he is winning that poll by a wide margin and there are like 30k votes already. Even if he was not winning, it still shows he is most definitely in the argument. And that is all that matters really. You cannot expect people who hate him to accept him as GOAT.

Most casuals say the best is the guy who beat any fighter p4p

Silva, gsp etc have more title defences, but when it comes down to it khabib is the best fighter period

So in my eyes? Goat

Because the goat to me is the best fighter whether he have 3 fights or 300

Thank God for not allowing Muslims to take steroids. USADA destroyed all only they survived
 
Will be hard to overlook a guy who retired undefeated in a GOAT debate vs. roiders and people who tapped to LW's.
