My prisoner of the moment thing was more towards you saying Khabib would beat Usman. I’m not seeing it. Usman is the bigger man dominating much bigger guys, with some excellent wrestlers mixed in. If Tibau could keep it standing I’m quite sure Usman could as well, and without the serious threat of wrestling Khabib isn’t a threat on the feet.
As far as Jon goes, he’s a hyper competitor as well as an ******* so he did what he did, no surprises. But he’s not lying.
I’m still putting GSP, Bones, Silva, and Fedor above Khabib just because they did it at the highest level as the champ for much longer. We all know that holding that belt for years is the hardest part. All of those guys I named were dominant early but at some point people start es catching up. They had to deal with competitors that were watching all their fights, watching hours of tape, and constantly game planning with them in mind. Everybody that fought them it was the biggest fight of their lives. I couldn’t ever call a dude with only three title defenses the GOAT considering the great title runs we’ve seen before.
And lastly, Bones is a cheat but I maintain that Silva never failed a steroid test until AFTER he snapped his leg. Not to mention he had to defend his title against multiple competitors who were 100% on steroids (Sonnen, Marquardt, Vitor, Hendo). Still never popped in his era when it was basically the Wild West and tons of people he fought were either confirmed to be on steroids or likely on them, and he was still running ****, so that Silva popped for steroids stuff means not a damn thing to me. I got Silva, GSP, Fedor in the goat discussion and Bones behind them with the asterisk.
