Conor does have a claim at FW GOAT

Aldo, green-ish Holloway, Mendes, Poirier, and....Siver? Solid #3 within the division history.

p4p he may be better and could beat both Aldo and Holloway tomorrow even, but within FW he's #3.

These crappy GOAT discussions need to have their own forum. Lightweight was bad enough but now we have to deal with FW too? Ughh
 
My vote goes to Aldo, but Conor is up there too. He also moved up in weight And was successful there, which gives him bonus points in my book.
 
GOAT 4sure bruh - haters gonna hate, no title defenses pffttt who cares - moved up in weight and took that belt too
 
Undefeated as UFC FW
Defeated Aldo
Defeated Holloway


Not a Conor fan, but hard to argue he has the credentials at FW
Denis Hallman has a claim at WW Goat (Pre GSP) as he beat Matt Hughes twice. Then we all looked at his actual career. Both Max and Aldo have more defenses then Conor. Aldo has more defenses then McGregor has fights in the UFC. Two things eliminate a fighter from GOAT discussion:
1. PEDs
2. ZERO title defenses
 
The FW GOAT had a 25 fight unbeaten streak at FW and NINE defenses.

Nobody is yet even close to what Aldo did in that division.

Anyone who says it's anyone other than Aldo has a mancrush on either Conor or Max.

25 fight unbeaten against crap, and 9 defenses against crap and then conor came along and took aldo's soul in 7 seconds..... but yeah aldo's the best lol

conor could fight aldo 25 times and KO him 25 times and you would still think aldo's the best

and 2 thing makes a fighter more GOAT than title defenses :

1. 2 division champ
2. moving over to boxing and making 100+ million against p4p best boxer

hard to defend your little guy belt when you move up a weight class and then take that belt too and then move over to boxing and fight the p4p best of all time and make 100's of millions.... yeah he should of stayed in the UFC and defended his FW belt instead lol
 
Welcome to my ignore list, no time to lose with that kind of nonsense poster.

How can PEDs eliminate someone from the discussion if every top fighter is using them?
Even fighters like Tim Sylvia and Barnett were users and you can't see it from their body... There is a Quote that says, there is no olympic Gold medalist without PEDs... the same goes for UFC Gold.

Conor is the GOAT at making money in MMA (aside from the Ferttitas) but if we are limiting it to in cage performance then defending matters. And this thread was specifically regarding FW GOAT. 2 division champ means shit at FW. Also the reason defenses matter is once a champion starts defending against legit #1 contenders they have to prove they can beat all styles. GSP beat every different style in different ways. Conor beat smaller guys who were lesser strikers. He avoided anyone with decent all around game and elite wrestling. MMA is like Rock, Paper, Scissors. Rock always beats Scissors but loses to weak old paper. Styles make fights and beating all styles makes GOATs.

its just Business, relax, nobody is going to take conir's balls out of your mouth

I mean, who cares about Aldo defending against subpar competition, he lost on his prime to Conor and Max, you can't deny it. Aldo was just a more dedicated champion

I'm not even a Conor fan but he certainly has a claim at FW Goat, he was the only guy undefeated, and he faced 3 big names, 4 if you count Poirier....he had many tools on this division, it's hard to imagine someone beating him

OK if thats what you think. GSP, Fedor, DJ and DC haven't popped but Jon Jones and Anderson have. Those are the top GOAT candidates so I will revise my #1 and state being stupid enough to get caught using PEDs while everyone else who are also cheating on PEDs don't get caught.
 
The truth about McGregor is he's just Mike Brown 2.0. A good fighter exceeding his actual ability by being at the right place at the right time, and if he had stuck around FW, just like Mike, he would have lost after his first couple defenses (to Holloway) and never seriously contended again.

He's just luckier than Mike was, and rode a wave of popularity only tangentially related to his fighting ability to even more undue success.

Even Faber has a better claim to FW GOAT than McGregor does. He's fourth in line at best.

yes, they are stupid, they get lazy and aren't cautious like when they began. There are many ways to cheat. Is someone that injects his one Blood a cheater? A normal human has like 6 L blood, what if you injekt 1 Liter more... you can cary faster blood to your Muskels, your Muskels have more blood, so you are stronger... Who knows what Champions are doing to be way above a mortal human.
Its for sure not just training.
 
How?

He has zero defenses

Conor is an excellent fighter who is very underrated these days, but Aldo is FW GOAT

Thread should have been closed after this response as there is nothing else to be said.
