All Time GOAT poll

[Bend NvR Break]

So every muscular guy is on roids but is good at hiding it. I see

It's never been muscles that signal PED use. It's insane cardio.
That king of steroids is Josh Barnett. He never looked like he was on steroids but his piss has always been nuclear waste and he was and to push himself at a crazy pace. Big muscular guys should be strong and explosive but lacking in cardio. That's completely normal. Cardio guys should be lacking in the strength and power department.

I think it was the IV ban. Hendricks had a terrible diet and self control self admittedly.
Firas Zahabi thinks Hendricks was on PEDs, which isn't something a coach with his reputation throws around lightly. According to Hendricks himself, he was 220lb in ring against George's, which if true is insane and beyond any cut even Rumble Johnson did.

It wasn't that Johnny was 220 in cage against GSP. Johnny never said that.
Johnny said and I quote "my everyday weight is about 220 pounds."
Unless he was specifically training for a fight he weighed 220.
Honestly I've always hated that 2 guys that normally live their lives weighing above 200 pounds kill themselves to make 170 pounds just to actually get in the cage and actually fight with both guys weighing more than 185 pounds.

Just have them fight at the weight they walk around at.

I'm convinced. The IV ban went into effect October of 2015. Hendricks had only one fight at WW making weight after where he looked slow and drained against Wonderboy and got a foot up his ass. Misses weight against Gastelum (imagine being thr guy that misses weight the one time Kelvin makes it) and Magny, goes up to MW, misses weight in his second MW fight. He went from holding a divisional title to being utterly incapable of making not only that divisions weight, but only a 66% rate (admittedly low sample size) of making weight for the division above only two years later. There were cope excuses that he "never mentally recovered" from being robbed against GSP even though he won the title in his next fight lol.
Hendricks 100% abused IVs, that is a certainty.
PEDs? I'm not entirely sure, but the timing and sharp decline make sense.

You forget he missed right against Woodley which was going to be a number 1 contender's fight. Woodley mage DW follow through with his TS promise after Johnny pulled/missed weight and won the belt in his next fight (2 years later).

Fedor has been knocked out by Middleweight, past his prime Dan Henderson....

Barillas is the worst, completly irrational

Good thing I'm not a Fedor fan

Costa is one of the most tested fighters in the UFC.

Have we forgotten about Grease-gate? We have evidence that GSP is a cheater too. Goes into a fight against BJ lathered up like he's about to star in a porn flick so BJ couldn't grab him.

It's also hilarious that GSP "retired" from the sport citing PED when literally 6 months later mandatory drug testing was implemented. It wasn't a secret. Everyone knew it was coming and the UFC has been testing how to implement drug training prior to GSP "retirement."

I once watched a video of GSP in an interview explaining literally step by step how to beat a blood drawn drug test. I'm not going to believe a person that knows how to cook crack or use a spoon and cook heroin from memory never used it at one point. Just like I'm not dumb enough to believe that a guy from explain how to beat a blood drawn blood test never did it before.

Grease Gate was investigated and GSP got out of it without even a slap on the wrist. The conclusion, basically, was that Penn was turned into human soup and vaseline or not, it didn't matter in the end

GSP is one of the main reason why USADA came into the spot, in the first place. Because he publicly slamed and shamed the UFC for forcing him into fighting a monster that science can't explain to this day (Prime Hendricks), and didn't want to comeback unless the environment was safer for the fighters.

Of course he knows how to do it. Do you know why? Because he ain't a dumbfuck. Dumbass Jones got cought like two or three times, and never learned.
Even if GSP was cheating, and he wasn't, he should still be considered the GOAT, because Jones is way to dumb to be the one

Don't give a fuck you're a fun of who

Every GOAT candidate has strikes against them, GSP is simply the one with the strongest resume of them all and is easier to argue for the GOAT spot

How can people actually vote Jon Jones in this? He has been busted for peds more than once and using eye-pokes in his fights. Delete his name from the voting please, for the good of the sport.

Plus Santos and Gus I

But yeah, Reyes clearly won the first 3 rounds, I have no fucking clue how else it could have been scored. Rd 3 was CLOSE, but still clearly in favor of Dom

Santos I feel less strongly about, because Jon did completely obliterate his knees, and after the fight he was never the same

Gus was robbed entirely. Even the 4th round with that big elbow, Gustaffson had won like 4 minutes and 15 seconds of that round, shouldve been a 10-10. Jones wasn't nearly as close to the finish as people seemed to have thought, and he was absolutely behind that round until the elbow landed

i don't know, i don't like jones, but thought he won the other two.
