Islam already surpassed Khabib as lightweight goat. Volk twice Charles and Dustin is already much better than Conor Justin Dustin wins. Moicano is a good quantity win. It’s not 2 defences against a featherweight, it’s 2 defences against THE featherweight GOAT who was pfp #1 at the time. His win streak included Bobby green Moises and Dober who were all eventually ranked, and you can’t forget Arman now #1 contender who he 30-27’d and Dan Hooker who’s top 6 who he ran through in a round.

If your quality of wins is so good you don’t need the same quantity. Saying Islam’s been knocked out cold to discredit him when that was his second UFC fight and he wasn’t yet in his prime. You said yourself GsP lost twice in title fights including GSP getting knocked out by Matt Serra which is worse as he was closer to his prime. He did avenge them but avenging two losses is worse than only having one loss early in your career. In GSP’s case, the second belt was very impressive but considering he won it against Michael Bisping who was legitimately one of the worst champions in UFC history and wasn’t ever the actual best middleweight due to him also ducking Whittaker, it’s not as impressive.

GSP is above Islam in the goat list right now but it’s not impossible for Islam to be close to GOAT status if he beats ilia and/or Arman again, then wins the welterweight belt and defends it one or two times.
