Make a counter argument(s) against your GOAT

[John makfresshi]

Goat Jones
Argument- he’s not a role model(he’s a cage fighter)

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

DJ
Small

 

[Davidjacksonjones]

Saint Jones
Eye pokes, PED's
Lost to Reyes strugglee with Santos
Are the biggest criticisms on his Goat status
I think his troubles with the law are irrelevant to him being goat
I still believe he has the best resume in the sport along with GSP

 

[Nameless Ghoul]

Jones: Dirty laundry. It sucks especially because the guy was a prodigy. Hell Nike brought him on! But he couldn't keep his shit together. On the rare appearances that he actually fights I still root for him, but at the same time once/if he gets defeated in the octagon it's going to be hollow because he should have accomplished so much more than he has. Also, don't "who has a better resume?" me. Because we all know that he robbed MMA of many more amazing fights, and he should have been much more than a niche "Cage fighter" culturally.

 

[Boomb]

GOAT: Fedor
Counter argument: Got KO-ed by a middle weight senior citizen.

 

[Striker Fox]

GOAT: Jon Jones

Counter-argument: Cocaine, alcohol, domestic violence, hit & runs, PED use, eye-pokes, long layoffs.

*mostly fought past prime LHWs and MW sized opponents.

 

[TGArthur]

GOAT: GSP

Counter Argument:
-Fought some of the weakest WW/LWs in history (Dan hardy, Mayhem Miller, Serra, Koscheck x 2, Hendricks, Fitch)
-Fought in an era where fighters had the TDD and stand up ability of a wooden plank
-Arguably loss to Hendricks
-Only beat BJ Penn due to Penn's gas tank fading in mid 2nd round
-KO'd by bloated LW fighter
-Avoided Anderson Silva like the plague
-Grease gate
-Came back to fight weakest MW champ in history

 

[Spath]

Anderson Silva was always vulnerable to being nullified and outworked on the ground by better grapplers.

Counter-argument: He only ever lost (in the UFC) to DC on the ground, in a fight he took on short notice after being fresh out of a surgery.

Silva was vulnerable to Father Time

 

[sonhow]

GSP
Counter: decisions
Counter to counter: win is a win

 

[snackebono]

GOAT: Nick Diaz

Counter argument: performance enhancing marihuana

 

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

GOAT: Fedor

Counter Argument:

- Never went to the UFC.
- Wish he fought Brock or Overeem in their primes.

 

[Hazuki Ryo]
