Andy has the best striking in mma history, but not the greatest mma fighter of all time. Khabib dominated the most stacked division in mma history, and arguably did it without losing a round (he may have lost a round or two, but if so it was close and could go either way). He was also smart enough to get out at the right time, no need to stick around if you've already accomplished everything. After that it's either Jones/GSP/Silva/DC. All have their own arguments but Jones cheated a lot, gsp has losses, silva tarnished the end of his career, and DC shouldn't have rematched stipe and got out after the first win. All those fighters made mistakes except for khabib.
I pretty much concur. The only constant knock you hear against Khabib is how quickly his championship run lasted. However, the dude did run through every contender available at 155 during his run.
Silva - PEDs
GSP - tapped to strikes (did avenge both losses)
Jones- PEDs
IF Cormier retired after his first Stipe shot I think he’d most likely be the GOAT.
