That one time when the UFC asked fans and experts who the GOAT is. Results: #1 Jon Jones, #2 Silva

[Arm Barbarian]

It might not be right, but Jones and Anderson will always be the popular picks for UFC GOAT

Nah

Not so much anymore.

Hence, the wasteland.

Folks are waking up to cheaters.

Sorry.

How in the fuck can you have a goat list without Fedor, Wand, Nog

I mean come the fuck on. Demetrious Johnson, who in the fuck lol

No way you are this stupid

Nah

Not so much anymore.

Sorry.

I bet a current poll would still have Jones and Anderson top 3, with GSP being the only one close

You might not like it, but thats how most people see it

Nope.

I see you keep repeating how popular these cheaters are, but fans are starting to learn, and evolve.

You might not like it, but times are a changin.

This article is from 2016

before Jones double bust, before Anderson's tainted supplements, and most importantly before GSP became UFC MW champion

Lol Anderson has just been cleared
Jon Jones short of KOed DC
Beating Bisping is good but nothing spectacular. GSP would never be a top 5 in the division

This was before Jon Jones destroyed DC for the second time

But after getting caught for steroids, drug use, and hit and run?

Jones probably couldn't beat Jason Von Flue without his roids...and he wasn't even a LHW!

Who would people pick for # 2 and 3 if not Jones and Anderson?

.... #3 GSP

"a committee of journalists, commentators, and other experts cast their votes, compiled here in a list submitted for your consideration,
https://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/7/...of-the-ufcs-200-greatest-fighters-of-all-time

Seems accurate. A few weeks ago Big John Mcarty also called Jon Jones for being the goat




Another insider and MMA expert Joe Rogan also said that Jones and Silva are the arguably the GOATs, depending on your criteria




I think it is very fair to say that this result is the consensus outside Sherdog

Spoiler: GOATs

not my goat

[snackgod]

The dominance of Jones or the artistry of Anderson

Only cheaters defend other cheaters. It validates their cheating behavrious

So is GSP a drug dealer because he defends other drug dealers? Lmao

Cheater =/= Drug Dealer


Edit: Glad this thread got wasteland'd

 

[Arrrrgh]

Thread needs more GOATs.

Only UFC fighters. Big Nog is at #15 and Lil' Nog is at #89.

Also, MM should be #1.

 

[Deleted member 245586]

GSP is the only fighter on their top 10 list that has 4 wins against other fighters on their list.

He also won more UFC title fights than any champion in the promotion's history.

Fedor would have had more trouble at LHW/Pride MW then HW. His toughest fights were always against smaller fighters

Maybe he would have had trouble if he had cut to make weight and fight those guys but not if they moved up. There is a reason a lot of heavier guys cut weight to fight in a smaller division and it has nothing to do with the "challenge".
