Do you guys see Tony getting it done? If he wins impressively, is he the GOAT at LW? If not, what else must he do? Simply defeat Khabib or go on a dominant reign with the belt?
Good point, kind of overlooked him for a minutePoirier is up there. He's 9-1 and has the same amount of top wins as Tony.
One of the great “what ifs”’ I’ve always kind of hadI just wish BJ stayed at 155 his whole career
Some amount of mental gymnastics in this post. In reality, Khabib's and Tony's resumes are clearly on par...He’s greater than khabib
Finishing Tibau in a round>Decision win
Pettis >McGregor(pettis has way more wins at lightweight)
Barboza =barboza
Trujillo =Trujillo
2016RDA>2014RdA
Kevin Lee>one day notice AL, AL only had one day making this gatekeeper win weaker for khabib
Thompson >Healy
Castillo<Johnson
Lando is another win for Ferguson
Yves Edwards>Tavares and everyone else on Khabibs resume
Ferguson is clearly the greater lightweight and if he adds cerrone to he stakes a claim for goat status
You bring up a great point, Poirier, is putting together a HELL of a resumeCurrent era records:

- mid tier wins: Vannata, Tibau, Trujillo, Castillo, Kikuno, Edwards
- low tier wins: Rio, Riley, Nijem
Khabib 11-0
- top tier wins: McGregor, Iaquinta, Barboza, Johnson?, RDA
- mid tier wins: Healy, Trujillo, Tibau
- low tier wins: Horcher, Tavares, Shalorus
Dustin 9-1 (1)
- top tier wins: Holloway, Alvarez, Gaethje, Pettis
- mid tier wins: Miller?, Green, Duffy, Medeiros, Ferreira
- low tier wins: /

Ferg has to beat Khabib to lay claim to LW GOAT.

Hopefully they both win their next fights and we finally get to see that fight.
A win over Michael Johnson > A loss from Michael JohnsonHe’s greater than khabib
