    I can say that most of these elite fighters at least fought long enough to set their families up for a long time, Khabib, GSP, and Cain. I get a sense that Zabit left tens of millions on the table and never did have a huge payday, but he's okay. I know TJ didn't make a dime fighting and i guess i just think he deserved a big payday because he was a huge deal at the time.

    GSP and Khabib are both wealthy millionaires plus probably have a lot of connections in high places. Cain probably made good money back in the day but his health and legal issues have probably strained his finances. As for Zabit he had the ability to become champ but probably never got the big pay off(same with TJ).

    Probably should of saved Khabib for last… makes it so it’s harder for the fighters you talk about after him to look impressive because you can’t help but wanna compare em

    Khabib is highly overrated. I can name 30 ufc fighters that fought better opponents and became champions. 90% of the fighters he beat are unknown cans. He retired before he solidified himself as an all time great. His undefeated status means nothing since most were cans.

    How he overrated? He fought contender or interim champ during his reign. If you say he fight Al laquinta for title. During that time no one want to accept without proper camp against khabib. Of course khabib have to start somewhere with the record so big organisations will keep an eyes on him.
