I think maybe this is one of those rare instances where one fighter could be thought of as higher on their divisional rankings, while the other would be higher on the P4P rankings.
Well khabib always will have this “not really” tested mark
If he had fought usman/colby then no questions, but now meh
4good fighters(strikers lol) 25taxi drivers
Why can’t these guys just retire, count their money and ride off into the sunset? Ego is a mother fucker
BJ is a warrior all the way through to his core. While he may have fought too long, he did it because he purely loves fighting. BJ would literally fight anybody and not give any fucks, and he almost always made a battle out of it if not victorious… BJ is a true badass
BJ = LW GOAT IMO
Khabib’s career is impressive. Doesn’t put him anywhere near the P4P goat or LW goat. He retired before he could fight enough to make the argument for it.
Bj was great for his time…he was ahead of the curve. But no version of bj ever beats khabib.
Khabib fought a last minute Ragin’ Al for his title.
Al is tough but come on, last minute Al fought Khabib the entire fight and wasn’t finished.
Imagine how sick it would have been if BJ moved up from lightweight to welterweight and choked out a champ like Matt Hughes? If BJ had done something like that, then I think you and I may be having an entirely different conversation…
AKA champs would rather test themselves against lower weight divisions.
He would have had to stick around for 4-5 years and win 10 more title fights to even be in the talks for p4p goat and he should have stuck around for another 1-2 years and won another 3-4 to cement the LW goat talks.
BJ raped the hell out of the correct here
Wait a minute, that did happen.
Are we having an entirely different conversation or still the same one?
BJ must have CTE.
“The reason he’s not a better LW than me is because he didn’t fight at WW”
Dude is .500 while Khabib is the only 29-0 ever, never got scratched and nigh lost a round.
They have the same amount of title defences.
And Khabib starched the 145 champ just like his boy Islam is about to do right?
Khabib and Usman were on the same team.
Khabib vs. GSP should have happened, but Dana and GSP dragged their feet on the matchup, then Khabib’s dad died so Khabib had to fill his role as team coach.
Khabib would have ragdolled and finished any version of BJ Penn. Remember when BJ Penn used to hop around on one leg as he defended the takedown and everyone praised his balance and TDD? A Dagestani would have laughed at that and easily taken him down via switching/circular movement.
I honestly think BJ has brain damage or has complete lack of awareness of the evolution of grappling.
"Khabib doesn’t have BJJ? Are you aware he’s a multiple time world sambo champion and widely considered the best MMA grappler of all time.
He would wreck BJ in a grappling or MMA. He’s a bum in comparison.
Not good of his back? He’s the best off his back in MMA history.
dam he got KOed in street fight
