Now You Fools Finally Get It: Demetrious Johnson is the GOAT

[waiguoren]

Bow to the king.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

He is legit P4P at this point.

 

[Sapp]

You misspelled DC.

As far as I'm concerned, he's undefeated.

Bow to the king.

King my ass. Got his ass beat at BW. While DC is undefeated at HW and LHW.

 

[12ga.]

How can you be GOAT when like 500 guys in UFC can kick your ass? Like everyone FW and up.

 

[Fire Belly]

Lol, no.

 

[czitos188]

Bow to the king.

even his wife is bigger than him.....

 

[Codpiece]

DJ is great, but not greatest.

 

[Cam Zink]

WAHAHAHAHAHAHHA here we go again

 

[Coolidge]

Mighty Mouse is the one and only GOAT of MMA.

 

[Psychedelic]

There can by only one MMA GOAT:

He is quite possibly the greatest fighter in the history of mankind. We've never seen anyone quite like him. He's perfect in every aspect of MMA.

Not a universal opinion but size matters in MMA just like it does in other sports. Below Welter, short of some spectacular prodigy fighter coming along that just dazzles with mind-blowing fighting skills, I am always going to find it hard to ascribe the title GOAT therein.

I mean, if Demetrious Johnson were to start manhandling guys at Bantam, that would have my attention. Otherwise, not even interested.

If he can move up to BW and beat the top guys then maybe we have something here. He is GREAT but half the guys he beats I've never even heard of. That doesn't mean they aren't good but the competition at FW doesn't have the same rep as some of the more established weight classes.

That's not how it works. I suppose GSP doesn't belong on a GOAT list since he'd probably lose to the likes of Bigfoot.

Mighty Mouse would run through every single fighter in the top 10 at BW.

Simple rule: You don't get to blatantly duck fighters be called the GOAT.

DJ is so good that I think he would outpoint a lot of bigger guys.

Do you deny that Floyd Mayweather is the best of the modern era in boxing? He has already outpointed bigger guys like de la Hoya and Canelo. It's not inconceivable he could do the same to great bigger fighters such as Ward and Golovkin.

With enough footwork, feints, range control, cardio and sharpness, tiny guys can outpoint and exhaust far bigger opponents.

Hmmm...looks like the king is bowing to her
