No doubt its nigh consensus that he is but my whole point is the folk who use past fights Khabib fought as a means to downplay him and ignore how redundant that is to the legacy
This is the point of discussion.
I don't care if someone liked Khabib fights or not, that's up to them. The point of discussion at least on my part was the level of competition Jones and Khabib faced.
Khabib's competition pales in comparison to Jones competition and I'm talking about the class and quality of the fighters they went thru.
Like bro, most of people didn't knew Khabib exist until McGregor got interested in him and decided to make a money fight out of it.
Recency bias is a huge problem from manga thru tv show to irl combat sports.
I watch MMA for a very long time so my opinion is not based on my hate train on someone because I don't like him or something lol.
I have neutral feelings towards Khabib. But people jump to the gun too early and recency bias that they push is very big.
If Khabib stayed a bit longer, fight Tony and few others he would cement his status even more. He dipped relatively early.
