“Khabib Nurmagomedov had 13 fights in the UFC. Jon Jones has 15 title wins in the UFC.”

“McGregor & Khabib had electrifying runs. GSP & Silva had legendary eras. Jon Jones is a singular DYNASTY.”

“Jones is technically 29-0. Khabib who?”

“Jon Jones defended his belt 11 times.. Khabib didn't.nJon Jones won 15 Championship fight s.. Khabib didn't . Jon Jones moved up in weight and became the champion.. Khabib didn't Brather nobody can stay on top forever. Well Jon Jones did.. for >10 years,”

“Lmfao Jon Jones doesn’t “compete” with Khabib’s legacy because Khabib isn’t remotely in the conversation to compete with Jon Jones’s legacy.”

“Khabib is so below Jon Jones it’s not even worthy of saying”

“people still saying khabib? Laughable. Jones has been in the ufc for over a ddcade taking on elite competition. khabib fought 3 top ranked fighters,”

“Khabib’s career isn’t in the same galaxy as Jones’s. Great fighter, but the first 2/3 of his “undefeated” record is padded by nobodies w/an 0-4 record. His wins against Conor, Poirier & Gaethje were good, but they’re all strikers who fall apart once they’re taken down.”
