Only Konrad still has the aura, way more aura than even Rickson had.
Why are people bringing up fighters that got finished?
read the OP smh
Khabib
Jones
Never fought in the UFC or Pride… meh.
He was just a prospect.
Khabib cuts weight and signed with UFC in 2012 so he could avoid having to fight Cole Konrad in Bellator, Konrad, the undefeated champ of MMA in 2012.
How can Khabib be invincible if he ran from Konrad?
A prospect who Khabib and everyone else cut weight to avoid. Only an undefeated HW can truly have a aura of invincibility.
Only Rickson and Konrad have maintained this aura.
Lol its a running joke on the UG buddy
The only HW’s count theory that is not how a sport is judged
This is why SRR is considered the boxing GOAT and not Ali
Khabib doesnt/didnt ever have a aura of invisibility either! He lost to Tibau whether he got the decision or not, he lost that fight. He was was tagged in almost every other fight he had in the UFC. Michael Johnson, while a very game opponent is the absolute definition of a career journeyman and he tagged khabib multiple times. Also in no way could anyone ever possibly claim to have an aura of invincibility going to decision with Trujillo and Iaquinta (no disrespect to those guys but come on). And in closing look at the record of his opponents (trash cans) he beat up on before he got to the UFC
Khabib was green and 23 against Tibau, who did nothing in the fight and was roided to the gills. Did not even touch Khabib’s aura of invincibility he wasn’t scratched, hurt ever.
This is like saying Arona damaged Fedor’s aura.
Jones was 23 when he beat shogun for the world title, whats your point with his age? Khabib should have massacred Tibau. Im not taking anything away from khabib he was elite, but i just dont feel like he ever had that aura. When we say that im talking when Silva beat Leben. We all watch that fight and were luke who the fuck is gonna beat this mf, then he did it again to Griffin. I never felt that way after a khabib fight
Isn’t Khabib out of the running for not being a heavyweight?
I get that they dont qualify by OPs criteria but I feel, before they went to shit, Anderson and Fedor had the biggest aura about them. Jones might have actually been the hardest to beat but somehow didnt have the same vibe about him. I guess its because Anderson was flashy Matrix guy and Fedor was emotionless Russian terminator. Jones was just a big athletic dude who beat people usually in very workmanlike fashion, it wasnt as compelling.
All due respect but nobody…
