Arman Tsarukyan: Khabib has no equal... Islam, GSP, Jones not even close

The weakest link out of that squad is Islam.

Shavkat has the potential to beat Islam because of his size if he moves up, but I still think Islam wins.

Topuria is smaller but he’s looked devastating and wants to move up, we’ll see how he fairs against Max.

Outside of that I don’t seen anyone at LW who’s gonna do shit.

The only “stat” you keep bringing up is “Never been scratched” which nobody has ever cared about.

All the other stats that matter arent there.

Title fights
Title wins
Title Defences
Champ-Champ or Double champ status
Willingness to go toe to toe
Pulling up short notice to save a dogshit UFC
Most finishes

In all these categories he sucks.

Again he is a great fighter. He is in the cormier, weidman, holloway type level of goatness.

But he’s not the GOAT, he’s not even close to the GOAT and he’s not even close to Top 10 of all time.

The level of competition in most of those other streaks is far more impressive than Khabib’s.

Nick_Diaz_Army, is that you?

I never said people dont care about the guy. He is a top 20 MMA fighter of all time, thats huge.

He just is not anywhere close to the “GOAT” pantheon of the top 5-10 fighters.

Imagine only Khabib and Benson henderson has 3 LW title defenses, and you say “well they are tied. But khabib took less damage and seemed more “dominant” you might have an argument going”

But when the gap is 5-10 title defenses, all the “no scratches” argument in the world doesn’t mean shit.

When there are 10 people with champ champ or double champ status, and your guy only held 1 belt in one division “never been scratched” is laughable.

When you look at the entire UFC record book, and the only place he shows up is “win streaks” but he’s is not No. 1 and instead Tied with 4 other dudes for 4th.

When you want to claim he is the lightweight goat, but he is tied with 4 other dudes at 3 defenses, and he won his title from Al Iaquinta somehow. And one of the other 4 dudes he is tied with won a welterweight belt from the at the time welterweight GOAT and HOFer in his prime.

It’s just not a coherent vision for GOAT.

Mighty Mouses’s opponents have a combined record of 402-87-4 or .815

Jon Jones’s opponents have a combined record of 377-91-2 or .800

Khabib’s opponents had a combined record of 282-115-4 or .703

SO even for the “time he stuck around” he was fighting weaker competition.

How can you have less defenses with weaker competition for a shorter time and be the GOAT? Thats the opposite of what goats do.

GOATS fight the most fights, the hardest fights and fight the most difficult competition.

@PatrickBateman any update on the virgin boy himself NDA joining us on this forum to ignite some MMA chat to this sub forum?

Jones is currently 6 foot 4, 240 lbs with the longest reach in the UFC. I don’t even think he’ll look good against someone actually his size and 42, old man Stipe.

Negative, unfortunately :pensive:

How does a grappling match between them go

Jon Jones Sport GIF by UFC

If Jones cuts down to the same weight he gets bent into a pretzel when it hits the mat.

User Detroit Redneck signed up 5 hrs ago.
As we know, NDA is from Detroit.
And this user is is using this sub forum, so got me thinking that it could be him.
(He also called me a boomer, (I know NDA is 30-31 (so 10yrs younger than me)

NDA wouldn’t dare call me a boomer tho.

Is Winston still active, he really disliked NDA, and I remember NDA saying he didn’t even know why or what he did to piss him off

Khabib is about 210-218lbs

Jones could go on a week coke/meth bender and be the same weight

That Detroit guy was posting in my Eminem thread. NDA never talked about Eminem with me.

Khabib was 203 at last report from Islam.

Regardless, I’d still like to see them grapple each other
