By the time he fought Khabib he was 30, and yeah, he hadn't been in octagon for two years. Khabib destroyed him the way he had destroyed so many other great fighters on his way to the top. Such is the cycle of fighting. Doesn't mean he was a fraud.

He was a fraud
in the division (lightweight). He came up in Featherweight aka 145 lbs. He should never have held the Lightweight title if he had to earn his way up like the other lightweights but he got preferential treatment for champ-champ status.
