RVD In Charge , Aldo looked Aldish
Look at his losses and wins since Conor, all fights against absolute killers. And Iām not one to say losses are wins, but I think the vast majority know he beat Moraes. Holloway, Volk & Yan are all absolute beasts and champions in the prime of their career. Aldo was arguably dipping just out of his prime around the Zombie fight over 8 years ago. And still he puts on display after display like that against the likes of Font, Munhoz & Vera?
Itās insane what heās done and what heās doing in his career
Khabib lost to tibau
Fantastic fighter but nowhere close to aldo, gsp, Jones, silva or MM in terms of accomplishments
No shit Opie.
He had Rob close to finished a few times. Iām not arguing the killer instinct. But he nearly got the stoppage without even trying on multiple occasions.
I wonder how many people lost money on Font? I thought he would win that fight easily, which kind of tells you how good J A still is.
He has took some beatings and been in a few wars so maybe heās trying to avoid those again. Fighting smart at the point in his career that heās in isnāt a bad thing I guess
That is very true, all killers that have beat him since then. Not shitting on him at all, heās an all time great, just pointing it out
So losses donāt count? lmao
This is pure desperation talking.
Of course they do but you have to factor in fighters testing themselves, prime examples being hendo vs fedor/nog or penn vs machida
Maybe frustrating for you, but Khabib walked away from the sport with more money than anyone except for Conor, and more opportunity as well.
Dude runs businesses now. He doesnāt need to fight in a cage.
That doesnāt change the fact that he was better.
Why do you, as a fan, care about how much money he makes or what businesses he runs? who gives a fuck?
Because he had a legit reason to leave the sport.
He never got scratched in the 29 fights he had before that.
Imo Aldo is the least respected amongst the new fans and most respected by the hardcoreā¦heās been kicking calves in half since the WEC days and no one gives him credit for starting it, always Jon Jones dumbass or someone else who copied Aldo. He won me the only parlay I won all night. It was a rough night to be betting on favorites lots of big time upsets.
The saddest thing is despite defending his title 7 times previously in the UFC, newer fans only remember him for the mcgregor KO and everything since.
Let alone his WEC days.
Hes in the top 5 p4p of all time for me
Khabib retired fairly young. At some point within the next couple years someone was going to beat him. Thats just how the sport is.
He was great during his run but to call him the GOAT is absolutely absurd and disrespectful to the long list of fighters who have accomplished alot more than he has
Dwarves donāt count in the real world and are fun and all but theyāre bred for entertainment purposes only. It isnāt fair to lump them in with real people. If anyone is interested I believe there is a petting zoo in Bulgaria or Moldavia or somewhere like that where you can play with them if interested. You might even be able to ride them or toss them.
I have a dream that one day in the basement of their motherās homes, the sons of misguided misfits and internet trolls, the next generation of mouth breathers will be able to log on together at the table of UG brotherhood. They will rent the title of GOAT into little pieces, like Mike Tyson preparing to feed his flock of pigeons an oversized tortilla. For they will not judge an MMA legend based on his statistics but upon the magic that was in the air. I have a dream.
Agreed Khabib is only discussed as a goat is because heās undefeated, if you look at what all the others have achieved heās not even close and Jones is also undefeated so I donāt see how itās possible he could be.
Also as a lot of others have said he didnāt have any sort of reign, he reached the top after beating raging Al and had 3 impressive wins before calling it a day, Jones, Silva GSP, BJ, Aldo all reigned at the top for years and cleaned out their divisions
What happened to this guy. Zabit Magomedsharipov, another quitter.
