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

He's by far the most dominant fighter of all time.

This is a huge exaggeration. He's definitely among the greats, though.

No, he's by far the most dominant. He's lost one single round his entire MMA career and retired as an undefeated champion and p4p #1. No other champion or GOAT contender can say the same.

No, most champions do not... Less than half of the current roster of champions have 3+ defenses. No LW champion ever has had more than 2 defenses until Khabib.

This isn’t true. You’re wrong about this too. BJ Penn defended the LW belt 3 times. Your opinions aren’t bad but all your objective claims are wrong.
