DC has potential to be the GOAT

No. His career is not long enough. To be in the GOAT talk you need a long title run. This is why GSP, Jones and Anderson are in that talk. Fedor as well (I disagree) but people believe so. DC won the belt at age 36 and he is 38 now. Not enough time to rack up 8-10 defenses like the other GOAT contenders..
What? So if DC manages to beat Jones and I assume they will have a trilogy fight and DC manages to win that, DC won't be the GOAT?

You don't need 10 title defenses to be considered a great. You're resume of notable wins can make you a great. They're plenty of other categories that can determine if someone is in the GOAT category.
 
That's your opinion of goat. Title defences arnt as important, especially here. DC was undefeated at HW, then was undefeated at LHW with only 1 loss to Jones. If he beats Jones, the undefeated GOAT, he avenges his only loss. If he then move up to HW again, wich he said he wants to do, and wins another belt at the highest weight class. He's GOAT.

Oh let me guess, is that because you got a Conor display pic?

HAHAHAHA

He doesn't have the title defences I expect from someone in the GOAT conversation.

But, since popping removes you from my GOAT list. Cormier is no worse than 2nd in the LHW division. If he beats Jones. I'd say he is worthy of the title of GOAT UFC LHW.

Just my opinion.

Look at the overall quality of the people he has fought. He has dominate wins against 2 guys that crushed Fedor. He was undefeated as a HW and had only lost to one the best fighters ever. If he wins he is a top 3 alltime.
 
MMA GOAT can be debated to the end of time, but I think it'll be hard to argue against DC having the best resume of all time if he beats Jones.
