Khabib Nurmagomedov remains unranked on the list from Conor McGregor
McGregor said that Nurmagomedov possesses a “fancy record” but still has a long way to go before he makes it to the GOAT list. He stated that the only highlight on Khabib’s record is a victory over him.

Fancy record but a way to go before any GOAT entry. Only HL is win over me with hangover and broken foot. Other than that, made Iaquintas career with bad performance before Cerrone ended it again. 3rds to get Poirier out. 0 array of finishes. Bottled many bouts. Zero else of note

No doubt that Khabib does not have more knockouts in his career than McGregor but that’s not his fighting style. The Dagestani is predominantly a wrestler who dominated almost all of his opponents on the ground.
Although Iaquinta provided the most resistance, one cannot ignore the fact that Khabib dominated the bout. Even in the standup, Khabib was dishing out damage with his jab.

And despite getting rocked in the Poirier fight, Khabib proved that he can handle adversity and come out victorious. Hence, It is safe to say that Conor McGregor has not included Khabib on the list because of their existing rivalry.
Do you feel that Khabib Nurmagomedov deserves a spot on the GOAT list?
