Dude only fought 3 top 5 guys. It blows my mind some consider him the goat. Guys like Jones have more title defences then he has actul UFC fights. He also won the vacant belt from raging Al hahaha. I dont even consider him top 10 of all time. Thoughts?

He probs squeezes into a top 10, but he's not insanely high (probs like 8 or 9). The Poirier win ages like fine wine though. We'll see how his other opponents like Gooby and Gaethje look to see if these guys are really as impressive as some currently think they are. We need to remember that Gooby is 1-2 at LW and faced a great stylistic match up in his title winning performance. Gaethje I've never been super impressed with beyond being fun to watch and having power, even the Ferguson win which made people consider him especially great I tend to not rate super highly because Fergy was literally fighting the opposite style match up than he'd been training for for like an entire cumulative year in Khabibi. Khabib shoulda went up to 170 or actually fought to an even 30-0 against somebody undeniable like GSP or Usman if he was to be considered an all-time GOAT (or at least in the top 5) IMO.
