It can be...
But not when it comes to someone like BJ Penn.. Prime Penn is and was as advertised one of the very best to ever compete in combat sports...dude won Mundials as an American....he went into brazils game and won there world championships...with like 3 years of training lol...it took 18 years for another american to win in his division..
This isnt some classic MMA never dies ...type thing..
We are talking proven legend and pioneer
Penn won one world championship, you can remove that S at the end of the word. And he won it in a weak year at this weight class.
BJJ accolades has no bearing on who is the greatest mma lw. Thats a different sport.
At LW, they fought pretty similar competition. BJ lost a few though while Khabib is undefeated.
