He will be above Weidman in the MW GOAT rankings for sure if he wins this next one.
The guy has solid wins against Brunson and two MW monsters Romero and Jacare.
If he defeats Rockhold I'm not calling him goat of course but it's a solid TD.
Besides winning streaks as a champion I also think the quality of the opponents is rather important. Also, the way he got to the title should also be considered.
I'm saying this as a Rockhold fan

What case? If he beats those guys, his MW run will be way better than Silva's. People that think he needs to match Silva's title defenses are on crack. Whittaker didn't get a titleshot in his 2nd UFC fight.....Lets see him get through Luke, Gastelum, Weidman and Costa in the next 2 years and hes got a case.
So erase two wins. Whitaker only needs 7 or 8 moreAnderson is a PED cheat though

Nah, but its pretty close.
Nope. That's crazyNo. Erase his whole career. Whittaker doesn’t need to do anymore
This is the only goat stuff I want to see for a very long time....Stop it with the GOAT bullshit.
Then he has a case as I stated.. Sure he beat more impressive competition but Silva went 16-0 including 4-0 at LHW. Many would still hold him as MW GOAT.What case?

Fook no not even close. Mw division without gsp= mediocreThe guy has solid wins against Brunson and two MW monsters Romero and Jacare.

Quality over quantity. Also, Whittaker is 8-0 right now. After those guys you mentioned, I don't see how it would be debatable that Silva's reign was better. His wins at LHW are not relevant to a MW run.Then he has a case as I stated.. Sure he beat more impressive competition but Silva went 16-0 including 4-0 at LHW. Many would still hold him as MW GOAT.
