Always a good thread about GSP,Silva or Fedor gets biggest discussions here with 300+ replies after years and years...Why no new names mentioned as GOAT/future GOAT???

You need an extensive body of work to be considered GOAT. That takes a long time.

People on Sherdog like to shit on prospects and call them overrated hype jobs. They haven't faced this specific style matchup, they are being protected etc
 
Going to go ahead and say that Izzy could get in the discussion if he beats Romero, Costa, and Cannonier. That's a better run than Khabib.
 
He's almost as old as Jones. He's not active enough to really challenge for GOAT status if he only fights once or twice a year
Three more big wins and he'll be in the discussion. I know it irks you..

Because there are no young champions? Just look at the Lightweight and above, the champs are all in their 30s. Khabib is the closest right now, Izzy needs another year, Stipe can never replace Fedor.

Izzy ain't gonna be the goat in a year. Hw is in a place where Fedor's glory cant ever be eclipsed.
 
Doesn't bother me in the least, but 3 or 4 wins still doesn't put him anywhere near Anderson, Jones, and GSP.
Why doesn't it? after 3 more big wins he'll be 31- 0 and 15- 0 in the UFC. Thats some goat sh!t right there..

????
Because they don't exist yet.

You don't become GOAT candidate overnight.

With a couple more defenses, Khabib should enter the discussion.
