All fighters who refuse to actually fight and win titles solely on social networks (Chimaev, McGregor, Jones, etc)

LOL Ismal would pull out due to undisclosed reasons if it's same weight fight.

Dustin was a gimme fight for Makhachev (Farter's plan bless), everybody knew it from the moment it was announced. Dustin only had a puncher's chance or had to rely on a freak injury like Makhachev breaking his own leg while executing a takedown. On paper Makchachev had all kinds of advantages...

Of course he does. Preferably for the welterweight title with Makhachev's subsequent retirement as "the greatest double champion of all time."

It seems that you're unhappy with the perceived level of respect he gets so I can offer you the same advice.

Evloev should be more active.

cancellation and final retirement for McGregor. He's stealing forum space, media time and UFC time from the actual fighters.

Even grandchildren of Makhachev and Nurm will pad their records with Poirier and Gaethje.

Jon Jones should fight more often than once in 5 years

It's a bit early to compare

Time to delete him from the active fighters discourse as well.

He also holds a record for the most short notice opponents in history.

He gets my respect if he fights 5 opponents with a full camp in a row.

I'd watch Makhachev vs Du Plessis. But how how many welterweights (I'm not talking about MWs) did Makhachev and Nurmagomedov face in their 25+ UFC fights?

I don't care if it actually never happens.

Makhachev faced much tougher opposition than his Master, who was on a Horcher diet. Just look at who they won their titles against. It's Oliveira, one of the all-time greats, on one side, and some semi-retired realtor from top 1000, on the other.

He will be perfect on his 1 day on the job but will run out of steam on day 2.

Makhachev's words about respect are worth less than Jon Jones' tearful ramblings about God.

I would be shocked if his move to 170 ever happens. After all, there's a clear reason why both he and Nurmago fought many featherweights in UFC and never a welterweight. That said, a fight at welterweight can happen at some point, especially against a lightweight/featherweight on a short notice...
