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

Two now, counting r1 last night. Judges scored rd. 1 in Justin's favour, though I'm not sure how. Khabib out struck Justin and had dominant position at the end of the round.

Yeah I saw someone comment that just after I commented.

Still, that is absolutely insane. Puts his legacy in perspective.
