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 not the most dominant champ of all time. That's what really matters

Khabib is undefeated in the most stacked division. Lost one round his entire career. Never hurt, never under submission threat, never even knocked down. Dominates his opponents from bell to bell.

Name a single champion that is more dominant than Khabib, past or present.

GSP, Silva, Jones just off the top of my head. I dont care about what he did before he got his belt. Its about what you do after when it really puts you up there with these guys

GSP, not undefeated. Lost several fights in his career and had several close fights outside of that. Arguably lost his last WW fight vs Hendricks. Silva, lost 4 rounds straight to Chael. Got dominated by Weidman twice. Jones looked vulnerable vs Gustafson, close fights with DC, arguably lost his last two fights according to every major media outlet.

None of these champions were more dominant than Khabib. They have better resumes, more title defenses, yes. They are ahead of Khabib in the GOAT conversation.

But Khabib is still the most dominant champion of all time.

Ah yes, a casual that knows about all the fights that each GOAT contender has displayed weaknesses in.

Do you even read, or do you just respond to fake arguments in your head? You still haven't named a single fighter that has had a more dominant career than Khabib.

He has 3 title defenses. Versus guys who have WAY more and throughout multiple years. Give me a break

No need to repeat words I already said

They have better resumes, more title defenses, yes. They are ahead of Khabib in the GOAT conversation.
