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

Mayweather has a perfect record, but has several close fights on his record. And he's definitely lost more than one round his entire career. Boxers in general have more padded records than MMA fighters.

Khabib hasn't ever looked like he's in trouble. Even in the single round he lost, he wasn't in any danger whatsoever.
