Not scratched in 29 fights, retired to take over and coach what is now the the greatest team in MMA history. The current p4p number 1 and double champ, Islam, is his life long dish rag in the gym and he just passed Silva’s streak.
Khabib’s the combat sports GOAT period. He is already the most popular and respected name in the sport worldwide.
He’s got many undefeated killers coming up in his gym that are not even in that pic.
Who is your GOAT and how irrelevant are they compared to the KING? How many more losses do they have? Are they just a relic from the past or will they have a lasting impact on the sport?
It doesn’t matter if you consider the 29-0 never bled king the GOAT. The camp has about a dozen other fighters who will rise to similar status but likely stick around fighting longer, and they will all tell you Khabib is the best. You can choose one of them to be your GOAT if it makes you feel better.
