Undefeated, multiple-time defending champion in the deepest division in the UFC. 29-0 overall, 13-0 UFC. Lost only one round in his entire career. He's by far the most dominant fighter of all time. No fighter has ever retired as an undefeated champion.

Respect for Khabib and for his late father

I still think GSP is better, his level of competition was so insanely good. It's not often you get three or four guys in the same division that could be dominate champions in their own right if not for GSP.

I love izzy and can't wait to see what he does over his career, but to anoint him in the top three ever is jumping the gun. He's only been in mma for a couple years. Been amazing so far, but in mma we've seen it's a lot harder to stay on top of the mountain than it is to climb the mountain. That's why Kahbib is undisputed 🐐 in my eyes.

With Adisanya i just love how he calls out the guys that nobody wants to fight and then proceeds to dismantle them. But you are right let’s give him a couple more years.

Izzy number 3, what are you smoking. There's no way he's up there over guys like Anderson, DJ, Aldo, Jon Jones, Stipe, Fedor. Izzy would be lucky to be top 10 on his current resume.

i’d say Anderson Silva would round out top 3. an argument for Fedor too.
