GSP beat more MMA champions than Jon Jones

[Subline]

It's time to discuss... the myth of Jon Jones being the GOAT due to all the champions he has beaten. When in fact, GSP has beaten an equal amount of UFC champs, and more combined MMA champs in major promotions (UFC, WEC, Strikeforce, Bellator, One FC). Not just that, but it was only in his last fight against a washed up Stipe that Jones tied GSP for wins against UFC champions. Let's take a look...

UFC Champions Beaten​

GSP	Jon Jones
Sean Sherk	Shogun Rua
BJ Penn	Quinton Jackson
Matt Hughes	Lyoto Machida
Matt Hughes	Rashad Evans

lol at listing bisping

 

[Sweater of AV]

Let the party start.

 

[Pierce 34]

GSP did it with less PEDs and cocaine

 

[Domitian]

Won't ever change the fact GSP has been subbed and KO'd (tapped to strikes, by Matt Serra)

 

[RockyLockridge]

lol at listing bisping

Why would he not count? he won his title via finish from a lineal champion.

 

[volcom5]

You put Matt Hughes but done put Cormier twice?

 

[Wreckless]

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

Bisping hardly counts, 1 eyed and nearly lost to 46 year old henderson in the fight prior, everyone would beat bisping in the MW top 10 at that point. Matt Serra is also one of the worst champs of all time, comparatively, Jones has a better resume

 

[AstralPanda]

Jones basically reigned at LHW for his entire career. How many opportunities is there for anyone to actually become champ?

Nonsensical mental gymnastics

 

[WeiserBucks]

Which fighter stopped more champions/former champions?

 

[pacrossbow]

You put Matt Hughes but done put Cormier twice?

He only beat him once.

jones haters aren’t grasping at straws, they can’t even hold back their tears anymore.

 

[AfroBanana]

Wasn’t Vitor Cage Rage champ and Vladimir IFL champ…… I think a few others also held belts “elsewhere” not that it matters much here.

 

[RoyJonesJr]

GSP & Fedor are the natty goats

If you exclude roids and cheating then Jones is the GOAT

[BowserJr]

GSP did it with less PEDs and cocaine

And without cherry picking nor ducking

With a total of 1 USADA test between the two them. STRIKEFORCE and BELLATOR testing is laughable. It’s not only predictable but it’s a lottery “you will get tested post fight and you have a 1/4 chance of even being tested at all”.

Not that I care either way, Jon was popped and they weren’t…… but I think Jon is considered natty if he only had 1 fight with stringent and out of competition testing or had the same “testing path” they had.

Remember when Overeem was in STRIKEFORCE and the same guy passing his piss tests was the same guy writing his steroids scripts.

I always loved Fedors M-1 steroid clause.

It's called cheating. They never did it. Jones did.

Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Pretty simple.
