  • Aldo is the featherweight GOAT

  • Holloway is the undisputed CONSENSUS featherweight GOAT

  • ‘‘ACKCHYUALLY’’ Volkanovski is the true featherweight GOAT

  • Oops seems Ilia Topulria is better than Holloway and Volkanovsky as he KOed both of them so maybe he was the GOAT?

The whole fucking concept is an absolute joke…

“When you really think about the era they did it, it’s Georges No. 1, I would say it’s Matt Hughes No. 2. Just because we looked up to Matt Hughes and he won nine times when it was a specialist sport, wrestlers versus strikers versus grapplers versus that. We got a chance to sit back and watch those two guys and then kind of carve out our deal. I would say me and Usman are probably tied for third.”

Glad I read the full thing. He’s not AS delusional as he seemed at first

Dana and his employees are ALWAYS going to talk up the fighters that still can make them the most money.

GSP is not one of them.

Exactly.

So many GOATS. It’s a revolving door.

Gets old.

No way The Riddler is top 5 WW

Not only is GSP the greatest WW all-time, he’s in the conversation among the GOATS regardless of weight class.

Woodley actually saying something reasonable, nice. Usman is probably top ten for sure but there are a bunch in front of him. I think Rory Macdonald knocks him out if they fought. What about Carlos newton. What about Karo.

Usman is definitely number 2 though you have to give him that. There was no talent during Hughes reign, he beat up a bunch of lightweights this is not even the same universe

I read the whole thing

Yup. A big part of Usman (and Tyron) was his fucking arrogance, they were both different fighters when they had to deal with someone that took it to them.

Mattt Hughes accomplished more in his time and was more impressive relative to his competition than Kamaru Usman. Usman only fought 3 different guys in his title reign too

Hughes beat Renzo, Royce, BJ, GSP and Carlos Newton within ten years. I’m not sure who Usman defended against that is a better name than any of those guys. Colby? Burns? Come on.

Don’t forget Sakurai and Sherk.

And only like 2 of Hughes’ first 30 fights were in the UFC, before his historic run.

And Hughes’ style is kind of timeless.
You know what he’s going to do – but good luck stopping it.

GSP would jab Usman to death most likely

My guess is it would be a boring fucking fight with that Canadian frog winning a UD and Usman not having a scratch on him

The Sakurai win is way under appreciated. Hyato was 19-1 with a KO win over Frank Trigg and his only loss to some guy named Anderson Silva.
