Brock if he had trained MMA in Russia after college and stayed healthy, GOAT?

All the size, skill and he couldn't take a punch.
I think this is a myth that sounds like it could be true but he only was stopped with strikes by a Prime Cain and Ubereem.

He never go KO'd cold and survived Carwins onslaught.

Brock had a decent chin. Mark Hunt got KO'd more times than Brock ever did and everyone says how legendary his chin was.

I meant he didn't like getting hit, never reacted well to it.
 
This isn't true though. His chin was monsterous he ate every punch Carwin threw, his only problem was inexpereince and shelling up when his opponent started to hit him.

If he had trained longer he would have have overcome this phobia, that's rookie stuff.

Yeah this chin was fantastic, and he also seemed to be a natural with the ground game, beyond just wrestling. Heck, by the time of his last fight vs Hunt he was even amazing at avoiding strikes while setting up his wrestling, similar to Khabib.
 
He would have ragdolled Jones and his skinny noodle legs kind of sad he didn't fufill his potential. He just started too late.
Jones is a god awful matchup for Brock just like Cormier would be. They’re both at least as good if not better than Lesnar at the thing he’s elite at, and they’re miles better everywhere else. Jones probably stops his shot and chews him up on the way in while Cormier probably commits the wrestling and does Brock dirty grinding on him until he crumbles. Both fights are fun but neither ends up being particularly competitive.

In reality that's how it shook out, but IF Brock had learned russian style chain wrestling and sambo he would destroy DC or Jones in MMA. American wrestling doesn't fare well against more advanced arts derived from judo. His strength and athleticism is a huge advantage he has over both of them.
