Many individuals think Khabib Nurmagomedov is the best mixed martial arts fighter ever, however … future Hall of Famer Tyron Woodley isn’t among ’em!
T-Wood was a visitor on “BS w/ Jake Paul” — the Problem Child’s brand-new program on betr (Jake and Tyron are cool with each other regardless of earlier beef) — when the subject relied on Tyron’s finest fighters.
First, the fighters that made the previous UFC welterweight champs cut:
Jon Jones … “Best fighter we’ve seen whether he’s fought consistently or whatever the case.”
Anderson Silva … “I would say is the G.O.A.T. because he did it in a really respectful way,” Woodley informed Paul, including … “He beat people without being able to talk the shit that everybody else did.”
Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson … “is the most well-rounded fighter we’ve ever saw.”
GSP … “I f**k with Georges St-Pierre because he was very respectful all the time.”
Tyron likewise applauded mixed martial arts veterinarian Carlos Condit … who he called his “favorite fighter to watch” back then.
What about 34-year-old Khabib, who completed his profession with a blemish-free, 29-0 record … and acquired wins over Edson Barboza, Dustin Poirier, Justin Gaethje, and Conor McGregor??
Surely excellent in the Octagon, and somebody Tyron appreciates a bargain … however Nurmagomedov isn’t among the greats in his eyes.
“[khabib] on my top 10 list? Probably not. I f**k with Khabib. I like him, I respect him a lot. I think he’s a good fighter. I think his type of fight for that weight class (lightweight), nobody could do that besides Sean Sherk back in the day, but like, he was just really aggressive, but I didn’t see the wrestler with good hands fight him so I couldn’t really jump on that train.”
Nurmagomedov retired after beating Gaethje in October 2020. Since setting his gloves down in the Octagon, fans have actually demanded a match with previous light-weight champ Charles Oliveira … whom some think has the tools to beat Khabib.
But, disallowing something drastic, it ain’t taking place … Khabib is determined he’s never ever returning.
