I'll go with Gaethje top. Bad stylistic match-up on paper and a top 10 P4P fighter.
I can't name another MMA fighter who has wins over 4 elite level fighters all in their primes or close to it. You could perhaps make an argument for GSP, but I don't think the 4 best fighters he beat (Hughes, Alves, Fitch, and perhaps Hendricks), are quite as strong as a collective as the 4 best fighters that Khabib beat. Elsewhere, the likes of Jones, Anderson, and Fedor all faced strong competition at certain stages of their careers, but very few elite level fighters.
So even when discounting the eye-test (how dominant Khabib was over his opponents and how impressive his techniques appeared to the naked eye), and his status as an unbeaten fighter, there is a strong argument that Khabib is the GOAT based on his record alone. His ledger of wins might not have the depth of others, but it has the better quality opponents on it.

By no means is this essential viewing, but this Confessions episode previews some of the undercard fights - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOsueW9sOUc&t=164s&ab_channel=RIZINFIGHTINGFEDERATION
Anyway, I've got this sinking feeling that Kyoji is going to get wrecked again. I am watching this tomorrow evening, so I will be avoiding spoilers throughout the day. Just like old times when I used to have to avoid spoilers for UFC and Pride shows.

Well, well, well, the author of the Lions Den article I posted above has written a scathing piece on Bisping and his Twitter "beef" with Deron Winn - https://www.sherdog.com/news/articles/Opinion-Michael-Bisping-Entitled-and-Arrogant-176971
Bisping responded with this tweet:

He’s ace. Imagine him against Figgy at 125 or Petr Yan at 135. I’m still hoping that Mighty Mouse will stop fucking about in ONE at some point and get his arse over to Bellator or Rizin. I’d kill to see Mouse vs Horiguchi 2.
Sadly, Mighty Mouse wants to end his career in ONE FC - https://empiresportsmedia.com/mma/demetrious-johnson-is-going-to-retire-with-one-championship/
Jarred Brooks is probably the best fight for Kyoji outside of the UFC. If you recall, Brooks competed in the UFC as a flyweight, during which time he dropped a split decision to Figgy. However, most media members and fans felt that Brooks deserved the decision in that fight - http://www.mmadecisions.com/decision/8519/Deiveson-Figueiredo-vs-Jarred-Brooks
Since leaving the UFC in 2018, Brooks has been taking fights in Rizin and a Michigan based promotion called WXC, and has established himself as the best straweight (115lbs) on the planet - https://www.fightmatrix.com/mma-ranks/strawweight/
If possible, I would like to see both Kyoji and Brooks return to flyweight in 2021 and fight one another in Rizin.

He's also only lost once since joining ATT. A defeat he might avenge in a few days time.

Merry Christmas from one of the resident Bellator Bummers:

fuck it, make it a 16 man 205lb tournament.
I think that's the idea, Ebb.
They are beefing up their 205lbs division so it's fit to field a 16 man tournament.

They have signed yet another Light-Heavyweight today - https://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Bellator-Signs-Former-M1-Challenge-Champ-Stephan-Puetz-176944
I still think we might get a BW GP instead.
Either is fine by me.

Btw, Mousasi is apparently in negotiations to fight Tokov - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRGL0nl3vx0&t=&ab_channel=Ушатайка%3AСпорт-Экспресс
That fight could well be a passing of the torch moment.

This place would be a disordered mess if it wasn't for Wand and Ebb.
Kudos to both.

His Bellator bout occurred on a segment of the French card that I didn't see. I haven't seen any of his other bouts.

Only just managed to watch it. I had trouble gaining access to the full card. Thankfully I somehow managed to avoid spoliers.
I think this will be my screensaver for a while.
I thought of you when Tokoro armbarred Ota 😉
Trigg loved calling that fight, didn't he? 😄
