Khabib 29-0. 3 title defenses (finished all 3 opponents). Beat 2 champions.
Max 25-6. 4 title defenses. 4 finishes in title fights. Beat 4 champions
Clearly, Max has The edge when it comes to the championship stuff. But overall record goes to Khabib.
How much weight do you put into the title?

Im going of opponents alone, not wins or losses. Max wins by a landslide. Fighting gaethje in a couple weeks, Conor, Dustin 2x, Aldo 2x, Volk 3x, zombie, Allen, cub, Yair, cattar, Edgar, Ortega, pettis, lamas, Stephens, olives, cole miller, fili, and bermudez. This shit is in no way close

Max is one of my favorite fighters but I picked khabib. As of today their only common opponent is Conman McChicken and khabib holds the win
If max were to pull off the upset against Justin I could change my pick possibly

Max has beaten more ranked contenders than the village of Dagestan has had hot meals.

Says my biggest groupie @anon22089824
Resume has become such a popular metric because it only focuses on who you beat, not who pushed your shit in. People don’t want to admit how badly losses affect the overall perception of a fighters dominance. Max lost 3 times to the same guy. He lost to Conor and Dustin.
He’s not as good a fighter as Khabib, who has not been scratched and barely lost a round. It’s not even close.
Many have stuck around a long time and built a nice resume of wins, but it’s the losses that show they are not goats.

Example: For all of GSP’s boring decision title defences when Khabib ran over the best in the world, Khabib never folded in his prime getting arm barred or tapping to strikes like GSP… thus Khabib’s sense of invincibility is higher and we could visually see his grappling was much better/more exciting.

I like Max hope he wins the FW title again but comparing him to Khabib is not going to go favourably.

Hey man I’m a max fan. But he won the belt against a slightly past prime Aldo
Out boxed Brian oretga who is a BJJ guy
Beat up last prime Edgar
Beat katter and Yair who are just ok imo
The oliveria win was due to injury
Khabib has better wins imo

Idk it depends on how you look at it to me. If you combine all the wins together Max still edges him to me. Outside of Khabib 3 big wins his other wins are are very low quality, and I think he lost to Tibau, and I also think Max should have at least 1 win over Volk. It is close though. Now if Max pulls off a miracle and beats Justin at 300 he definitely has a better resume imo
