Could Overeem be considered the GOAT if he wins UFC gold !?

[Coffee79]

If Overeem beats Rothwell and then wins belt from either Werdum or Stipe, here is what he has on his plate:

UFC HW Champion
K-1 World Grand Prix Champion
Dynamite Champ
2H2H LHW Champion
Strikeforce HW Champion
DREAM HW Champion

Notable wins:

Roy Nelson, Frank Mir, Junior dos Santos, Rothwell, Werdum, Stipe, Brock Lensnar, Mark Hunt, Vitor Belfort, Rothwell

People can dismiss Overeem all they want, but this one stellar resume.

Jones is considered GOAT, but comparing all in all - I think Overeem puts up a damn good argument; especially given he won at LHW once and at HW.

That aint no serious case,he aint even CLOSE to being the greatest combat athlete. he's just picking off the wrinkled remains of his betters.

 

[CJohnny]

Overeem would also beat Jones, now and when he was on juice.

 

[mcdowels]

he would be if he had just a bit better chin

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

I sense Bigfoot gif inbound

Jokes aside he's a great fighter, but he's far from claiming that honor of GOATs' GOAT

I'm asking if he could be GOAT if he won the UFC belt when added to his already stacked resume.

 

[HHJ]

first off,he beat who for the strikeforce belt? exactly.
he beats Spong in the 1st rd of the k1 finals and then beats a totally destroyed Saki in the 2nd and old decrepit tired Aerts in the finals
Dynamite champ? is Dynamite even a real promotion??

OK, tough guy, who would have a better resume and accomplishments than Overeem if he wins the belt ?

He beat whoever was available - it's not his fault he was so dominating.

 

[HHJ]

Overeem was never the best anything. He may have a chance to be the UFC champ,but really i dont even see him beating a healthy Werdum,which might be too much to ask these days,anyway.

Nah.

He's been knocked out more times than Janet Jackson's tit.

A true GOAT has to have been more dominant and difficult to beat than that.

Im saying his resume in its true context isnt as impressive as you are making it out to be. If he got knocked out by ANYONE in the hw div,you know what his fans would say? "goddamit not again,cmon reem"

 

[Coffee79]

How cute, you know how to post a youtube video; this is what someone does who doesn't have the intellgience or facts to back up their argument. Nice job on the fail, numbnuts.

Best hw mma fighter (and screw you Fedor lovers), but not combat athlete in general. Hell, there are several others currently in the UFC who have better claims.

He's kind of in a league of his own with all the k1 stuff (and the other smaller promotions). Fedor will always be the greatest though. No one will ever have an aura like him. There's a reason all the fighters say fedor when asked that question.

 

[crofighter]

And if he doesnt, Cro Cop is still better.

That Fedor aura went to hell when he ducked the UFC. Overeem, on the other had had the balls to fight the best of the best

 

[HHJ]

Best hw mma fighter

he isnt even that. What Hw title has he held thats worth anything? strikeforce title is such a joke he didnt defend it till 2 yrs after he won it

 

[Mob69]

Overeem ain't top 100 P4P GOAT. Do me a favour homie.

 

[Grenz]

The words "GOAT" and "Overreem" do not and will not ever go together.
