Jones doesn't train and still beats his opponents, Khabib tells his opponents for months exactly what he's gonna do and still makes it look like they never knew what was coming.
I agree Jon Jones is by far the greatest example in MMA. Won every fight clean while everyone was in steroids. Takes good care of his wife and children. And even prevented a premature baby from being born by crashing into the lady’s car.. Should win the Nobel Prize in my opinion
How people forget Anderson Silva's reign is really beyond me. The highlight reel ko's over and over vs very good competition AND he wasn't afraid to fight at LHW. Making very good fighters look novice. Not to mention the short notice fight after his prime vs a prime DC who wanted absolutely nothing to do with Silva's standup. Also his recent success in a totally different discipline (boxing) vs a former legitimate prize fighter. Still holds the record for most consecutive title defenses and the manner in which he did it.
I believe that if Khabib had not retired, he would have continued to dominate his division and defeat any fighter who challenged him for many years to come, as he had already proven his abilities in his impressive undefeated record. This was also evident in the recent performance of Islam Makhachev, who showed his strength by defeating Oliveira, a highly hyped fighter at the time.
I'm an extreme MMA Casual, but I swear this is the first sport I've seen where a guy got caught cheating but a large contingent of the fanbase still puts him in the GOAT category. Crazy stuff
I’ve been hurt worse at my job at McDonald’s then Khabib has in his whole ufc career

Screw the 29 wins. My man didnt even bleed in his whole career which is absolutely ridiculous!
Khabib, never bled, got cut or even bruised over 100 rounds in a stacked divison. Greatest combat fighter of all time.
Jones has flaws in his resume... and drug use. Khabib has zero flaws... and no cheating allegations. Debate over.
A cheater can never be a GOAT
Dude what khabib did to Gaethje made him literally look invincible
Luke Thomas's breakdown of Khabib's finish of Gaetje in the beginning was great.
A bunch of khabib D riders in these comments Jon jones still fighting undefeated while khabib getting old trying to train lol
So it is basically like this:
Khabib was also smart enough to not only go out on top, but early enough to avoid a lot of health problems later on.
Watching this after Jones became the undisputed champion of the DomesticWeight division
Dominick Cruz: “Think Conor is trying to tire Khabib out right now.”

"didn't train for a fight" would be the worst excuse ever for a professional fighter
The goat is reserved for Artem Lobov. 30 men have tried, only 15 have succeeded.
I love when two knowledgeable wrestling/bjj people get together and break things down piece by piece like they did here.
