Ever heard about that guy named Rafael dos Anjos?
So where was he ranked when he fought Khabib?

You're spinning the data for "current" because it looks better for Connor. Add mj and Healy to khabib
It actually makes Conor look worse. Max looks better and Poirer a little bit better, but Aldo, Mendes, Alvarez, Diaz, all look significantly worse. While Al looks better, and RDA much better.
Conor has simply nearly cleaned out two divisions. Khabib hasn't even cleared out one he constantly misses weight in.
a lot of people are going to be very upset when Khabib loses... you all are getting your hopes up
The funniest part is that I've been accused of spinning the facts in Conor's favour because I didn't list #10 ranked at the time Pat Healy or Michael "gets subbed by Darren Elkins at a weight class lower" Elkins.
Anyone that thinks Khabib has a better resume is a fucking idiot or too much of a fanboy to be honest with themselves. It’s not close. It’s just not.
Khabib has a pretty thing resume. Because of injuries, inactivity and the tony fights falling through.
He has beaten everyone put in front of him, but so far you can’t compare his career to Conor’s as far as quality wins.
Conor has only KO’d one guy, the rest being TKO’sKhabib - 4 Finishes in Last 10 fights
Conor - 8 Finishes in Last 10 fights
Khabib is a classic Lay 'N Prayer. Conor at minimum will get 5 shots to KO him at the beginning of each round. I'll take Conor on those odds.
Khabib Nurmagomedov:
Rafael Dos Anjos WW #3 UD
Edson Barbosa LW #6 UD
Al Iaquinta LW #9 UD
Conor McGregor:
Max Holloway FW Champ UD
Dustin Poirier LW #3 TKO 1
Chad Mendes FW #5 TKO 2
Jose Aldo FW #2 TKO 1
Nate Diaz LW #11 SUB 2 LOSS
Nate Diaz LW #11 MD
Eddie Alvarez LW #4 TKO 2
Two things I learned from the research:
1. Conor's run at FW is underrated on Sherdog
2. Michael Johnson isn't ranked at Featherweight
Slight correction....
Diaz fights were at WW not LW

Ahhh, sorry, I found the title somewhat misleading...It's where the opponents are ranked "currently".
It's really not the same, it was Holloway's 6th UFC fight, while it was only Conor's 2nd so max actually had more high level experience than Conor.Counting Conor's win over Max as a top win is like counting Duffy's win over Conor as a high level win.
Conor beat Max 5 years ago, 4 years before Max ever became champ.
He knocked out porier and was top 10 at the time. So . . . YeahMichael Johnson who has lost 5 of his last 6 and gets subbed at Featherweight?
Top ten at the time. So . . . YeahThe guy with like 70 fights that lost almost as many as he won?
Conor got finished by Nate Diaz
Khabib is undefeated
