I think u could make a case for him being the GOAT LW depending on how u scored the Benson fights.

I dont think he would become the GOAT FW with a win over Aldo tho, but he would easily make my top 5 and hed have a win over the #1 and #2 FW GOATs career wise (Aldo and Faber)
 
I'm an Edgar fan but I don't think that he could be considered the GOAT of either division even with a win over Aldo.
 
If McGregor hadn't just brutally KO'd him I would have agreed. If Aldo had beaten McGregor and then Edgar beat Aldo then I think he would have to win the trilogy before cementing that. Now that McGregor took him out, in 13 seconds no less, it makes t a lot harder to say with any certainty if he's right or not. I'm leaning towards no personally.
 
Can't believe I am saying this

But he would have to defeat Mcgregor for the belt after "beating Aldo" to be even in the discussion.
 
He would definitely be one of the best to have competed. Not many fighters become world champions, much less in two weight classes.
 
no

he could make a P4P case if he wins at 145 and afterwards challenges cruz at 135
 
I'm an Edgar fan but even I don't think that he could be considered the GOAT of either division with a win over Aldo.

I think u could make a case for LW right now.

As for FW agreed. Assuming Frankie beat Aldo without controversy, id rank the FW GOATs:

Aldo
Faber
Frankie
MTB
Chad or Conor

I know some might put Hioki or Curran there, Curran was a beast at his peak but i never bought the Hatsu hype despite his great FW career.

People don't realize that Frankie's first fight at FW was for the title. He's paid his dues to the division and he's found his footing.

3+ years into the division I think he's made the adjustments to his game and he planted his feet against Mendes and blasted through him and he showed his power. Against hulking LWs, he had to keep his feet moving and he was lighter on his feet.

Frankie could be the best fighter we've ever seen.
 
Can't believe I am saying this

But he would have to defeat Mcgregor for the belt after "beating Aldo" to be even in the discussion.

In the featherweight GOAT discussion yes.
 
He's not a GOAT in either division but he's definitely a GOAT in MMA with his resume.

Conor can't and has no intention of ever going back to 145.

He's eating steak 7 days a week now.
