[Dozer .]

The 2 GOATs

 

[FedorGOAT]

Yeap, Longevity matters.

It's not about how many fights you have, it's about how many fights you have against elite competition.
IMHO Jones and GSP have equally good resumes, if not better.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

It's hard to rack up that many fights if you become a dominant UFC champion early on in your career though. Quality of opponents matters more.

Also needs to not fail first random drug testings then blame it on dick pills and then fail another and act innocent

That's because you were in diapers when Fedor was fighting the best of the best, and now you're looking back revisionist style. You don't know any better. Fedor never had to take steroids like Jones.

GOAT needs to have atleast 5 million total PPV sales.

Only one man in MMA qualify.

Where do you rank GSP, TS?

Very true about the competition but guys like Jones and Spider obviously are tainted so I'd disqualify them also. For me the GOAT should age well also like Tom Brady. MVP at 40. For now id go with GSP as GOAT, beat top competition, 2 division champ and hasn't fallen off at all really.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

Yeah but if you drop 5 or 6 on your way out what good is it?

 

[SirKratos]

Says who? Sounds more like you are making up certain rules to eliminate some fighters.

 

[Reach4theSky]

55 -10

32 fight win streak..

 

[Roop Holstry]

55 -10 32 fight win streak..

GOAT

He brings up Fedor and Anderson, and they are both incredible, but GSP has almost as many Top 5 wins as Fedor and Anderson combined.

 

[DS66]

So if Silva would've retired after the Bonnar win at 33-4, he would have been disqualified from GOAT talk? He had to continue fighting and go 1-4-1 in his next 6 fights to earn the GOAT status. Interesting.

[Deleted member 448575]

why 40? sounds like a randomly made up number. why not 35? why not 47?

Yea, where most fighters decline and go out on some losses, GSP is currently on a 13 fight streak, 11 of which were title fights. He is highly unusual in that respect.
