Remember when we used to joke about Conor being called the GOAT?

[Lawblaw]

Shout out to those of us who weren't joking

At what point will mods start sending these pointless Colon nuthugging threads to Wasteland?

 

[scorpipede]

it's still a joke, kidding or not.

 

[Arqueto]

Must be an old pic.......I'm sure that's Aldo's belt now.

[Kyler Ruxin]

He has less title defenses than Tim Sylvia. He's no GOAT.

Lulz.

 

[Threetrees]

He's the David Menne of LW

He's not even the GOAT of any weight classes he's competed in

Dudes not top ten
He, at the top of his game, got squashed by a journeyman and snuck by him in a rematch
go away

Remember when logical arguments and facts were used to prove something was true? Shout out to those of us who know you, TS, may not be joking, but you are a joke.

That's hardly an insult; Tim Sylvia tied Randy Couture for the most UFC heavyweight title defenses. He has more defenses than Cain, Stipe, or Brock.

None of which are GOATs either. What's your point?

 

[scorpipede]

Stipe, or Brock

who does?

And Conor has less then all of them. He's a good fighter, but a GOAT should have multiple title defenses. 0 title defenses eliminates you from GOAT talk.

My point was already made. If you're incapable of understanding it, I'm not gonna waste my time.

I agree. Just saying people disrespect Sylvia because they think he looks goofy, but the man accomplished a lot.

Conor does have less defenses than Murilo Bustamante, Mo Smith, and Michael Bisping.

 

[Mr Wings]

who does?

Tim Sylvia

Defenses, not consecutive defenses. Tim is tied for most consecutive defenses with Cain, Brock, and Randy.
