How well did their opponent do AFTER they lost to the GOAT against top competition? I did it this way so as not to give unfair advantage to a GOAT beating someone who was at the end of their significant career or just simply a can. The list came up like this...
Spider =11 – Horn, Leben, Franklin (twice), Marquardt, Leites, Maia, Belfort, Chael, Hendo, & Brunson (shoutout for WW Sakurai)
GSP = 9 (11) –Karo, Heiron, Mayhem, Sherk, Fitch, Shieds, Condit, Hendricks, Hughes (but the 2nd win not counted due to Hughes losing a lot & fighting people about to retire.) (Bisping & Hughes 2 had the belt at the time so that’s a strong case for 2 more GOAT points imo, but it’s questionable) (shoutout to an undersized Penn)
Couture - 9 - Vitor x2, Horn, Randleman, Rizzo x2, Liddell, Tito, Gonzaga
Cormier = 8 (9) Monson, prime Bigfoot, Barnett, Rumble (maye x2), Gus, Volkan, Stipe, (shout out to MW Hendo & Spider) (keep an eye on Black Beast)
Aldo = 8 (9) – Cub, Uriah, Lamas, Jung, Edgar (twice) Mendez (twice) (keep an eye on Moicano & Jeremy Stephens)
Fedor = 8 – Herring, Big Nog (Twice) , Cro Cop, Hunt, Arlovski, Coleman I (not 2) & Monson? (shoutout to Arona & Sobral, but neither are HW’s)
Jones = 8 – Shogun, Bader, Machida, Vitor, Gus x2, Teix & DC (DC Once… the 2nd one he cheated - (keep an eye on Lionheart)
Mouse = 7 (8)- Benevidez (twice), Dodson (twice), Moraga, Kyoji, Cejudo (keep an eye on Borg)
Stipe = 6 - Hunt, Arlovski, Werdum, Reem, JDS, Ngannou
