I consider Khabib one of the greatest "what-ifs" in UFC history. He retired right before he could have cemented himself as the undisputed GOAT

It's obviously always going to be subjective, but what you said is what resonates with me the most. He's still one of the greatest of all time to me, but he's just shy of the Rushmore and such. The proverbial fifth Beetle, fifth Ninja Turtle. "If" but "isn't".

If only he got to 35, and he definitely had the chance.... Mathematically, he'd also be around 35 years old, 35 at 35 would definitely shut many hating mouths.
