The GOAT of every Country, Region, State

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Wow what a great list you have done, very interesting. Good read and info, thanks TS.

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Fedor is Ukrainian by your logic.

That's his place of birth...
That's where he's listed.

 

[Maori]

If he wins a title then We( Australia ) will definitely claim him as our own

no doubt, thats all aussies good at

Andy Wang
Country: Taiwan

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Perú: Luis Palomino?
What about Tony DeSouza (peruvian necktie)
or Ivan "Pitbull" Iberico
or recent TUF Latin America winner Enrique Barzola.
Valentina Shevchenko fights for Perú aswell.

Valientina is from Kyrgyzstan... but Tony DeSouza is a good choice.

UFC 199, historic event for California GOATs...

And if I'm going to do Canada, I should really go one more level and do one for the state of California...

India - Jaideep Singh

 

[Me&MrJones]

Overeem or Rutten for the Netherlands?

 

[Glove]

Bukaw Por. Pramuk - Thailand

I noticed you have someone else there but if you are including K-1 this is a no brainier actually.

 

[Me&MrJones]

Russia - Khabib Nurmagomedov

 

[CoffeeAndBeer]

Overeem or Rutten for the Netherlands?

I have Bas Rutten. And Overeem was born in the U.K.

 

[davisxp]

You could add Misha Cirkunov or Konstantin Gluhov to Latvia.

 

[Me&MrJones]

And Overeem was born in the U.K.

He doesn't have an English mom or dad, he's Dutch-Jamaican. I consider him Dutch.

List of every GOAT by Country, Region, State
(based on place of birth)

Help fill the list.
Who's not listed? Which should be changed?


Best in each category, noted in green.
Fighters raised elsewhere from an early age, noted by (r.Elsewhere)

United Kingdom -- Alistair Overeem (r.Netherlands)

Never noticed you actually did a regional one, still think you need to update the main one with the Countries of UK since they fight in the UFC as that country and not as the UK, so they aren't technically regions but legitimate countries. Btw UK is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland while Great Britain is just the Island that consists of England, Scotland and Wales but even the English can get confused with this since they call the UK Olympics team Team GB despite including Northern Ireland.


I would also put Jack Marshman for Wales over 'Mr Pink' Martin McDonough, more active, better win streak and has a win over former UFC Fighter Che Mills.

 

[kashmir]

This thread is going to be a mess.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

I'd argue Evan Tanner is the Texas GOAT since he won a belt.

So which are their own sovereign countries?

Do Northern Ireland, Wales, have their own Olympic teams, their own President/Prime minister, etc??
