Are those the GOATS of each division?

Honestly I believe Merab is better than both Cruz and Yan (it's 1-1), and that Topuria is on the same level as Khabib but I know people will cry on here so I won't include them
 
HW - Fedor, Stipe, Nog
LHW - Jones, Cormier, Shogun
MW - Anderson, Adesanya, Weidman
WW - GSP, Usman, Hughes
LW - Khabib, Islam, Penn
FW - Aldo, Volk, Topuria
BW - Cruz, Dillashaw, Cejudo
FlW - DJ, Moreno, Pantoja
 
DJ
Cruz/Yan
Volk/Topuria
Khabib
GSP
Chimaev
JJ
Fedor

I count GOAT as who would beat who prime v prime
Goat doesn't work that way. GOAT is the most accomplished. To be a GOAT you have to have been a champion and DEFENDED it.
By your definition at some point in time Denis Hallman was the WW GOAT. Makes no sense. No idea why Toppy would be your FW GOAT. Chimaev hasn't even defended once. How is Yan ahead of Merab?
 
Greatest of all time doesnt mean best right now or strongest right now... or who I think would win... it means greatest OF ALL TIME.. it takes time numbnuts you have to prove it


With your definition you could just say Gable Stevenson is the GOAT of wrestling and you already think hes the GOAT of mma because you don't see anyone winning
 
There is only one

Khazmat struggled against Usman and Burns, but because he beat DDP he is the goat? Aight...he hasnt even fought anyone else.

Maybe Anderson Silva should have just beat Dan Henderson and retired, since apparently no one else he beat matters (and thats taking into account Dan Henderson >>> anyone Khazmat has fought).
 
I said skill wise.
Who in MW history is beating Chimaev?
He’s had a total of 3 fights at MW (one of them was a short notice WW in Usman). I’m not saying he isn’t a special talent but you’re fucking retarded calling him the MW goat as of now. I could go through a list of prime champions I think would have given him troubles… shit even non champs like a prime Romero would be an incredibly bad matchup for him.

Khamzat would destroy Silva and Henderson
DDP would destroy Henderson

Stop it

If I called JJ the goat after he beat Shogun, would I be retarded?

I mean…yeah, because at that time there wasn’t enough data to make that conclusion. In the case of Jones you’d have eventually been proven correct obviously, but that’s the kind of rarity that reinforces people making these kinds of fantastic leaps of logic.

MMA history is littered with people we all thought were going to amazing things and win championships or achieve GOAT status, only to flame out. Look at threads from a few years back when people thought Usman would surpass GSP, or Nganou would be HW GOAT… you don’t see those threads much anymore.
