You think Islam will defend the belt +6 times? The weight class is shallow, but against a similarâsize man (Garry) with some wrestling he was kinda getting his shit pushed in.
You think Khabib would do good against Strickland? Idk man, once the weight advantage is eliminated⌠at least Islam looked very beatable
Fame has absolutely nothing to do with GOAT status. If it did then Conor is the MMA goat⌠and real fans non causals know that Conor isnât even a top 15 fighter of all time
Best way of putting it. The ufc will always use some sort of stat line to promote whatever champion they want, casuals eat it up and use it to call that fighter the GOAT.
âBiggest win streak in UFC historyâ
âTwo division championâ
âLongest top control in UFC historyâ
Like you said anything like this is only relevant in the case of a tie in title defenses. He is 34 and canât make it to GOAT at this point but he can still go down as one of the greatest. Amazing run, for some reason people canât just be okay with two division champ with defenses in both weights, it has to be that they are the GOAT.
