Has there ever been this much GOAT potential in the UFC before?

[MMun]

Depends if Weidman succumbs to injuries. If he beats Vitor, Jacare, Rockhold, Machida (again) and wins a LHW superfight, he's in the discussion for MW GOAT.

He's undoubtedly behind Anderson, but he's already very close to the top.

 

[Redhawks100]

And he fought pro wrestlers, not legit contenders, in over half his PRIDE fights.

The organization he was the king of also went under for being corrupt, and also encouraged the use of PEDs.

But we don't talk about that on here.

 

[Handawg]

This thread is going to get ugly, can sense it.

 

[The Cloud]

That was mostly due to BJ being a warrior and willing to move up to WW because he wanted to prove he's the best.

I wouldn't praise the UFC for that.

This guy is dropping truth bombs tonight

The UFC bought Pride and folded it but who cares about facts.

Most top athletes are on PEDs, not everybody is as naive as you.

There are some, but then they get busted and punished. Frankly, there is hardly any evidence that most top guys are using

Also. Nah, Pride folded due to corruption.

HW is too shallow for Cain to be the GOAT, so scratch that.

Dont agree at all.

First of all, Cain has UTTERLY DESTROYED everyone he has fought, finishing them all except for Kongo and Jds. No other Goat prospect can boast as such.

Jds, Bigoot, Brock, Nog, Rothwell, Kongo, aside from Jds KO, Cain hasnt lost a round.
Now we have Werdum, Reem, Travis, Hunt, Stipe, Roy, Meathead... Im pretty certain Cain > any of them, its just a matter of time. I wouldnt say HW div is shallow, its just that Cains destroyed half of them so easily and the other half hes already defeated using mmamath so it looks like theres nothing there. Thats what a Goat does, he makes his div look sorry as shit.

 

[sampuncher]

Scratch Cain and Pettis, neither has done enough yet to be the absolute GOAT. The rest potentially have with Weidman inching closer.

Cain's done more to be considered GOAT than Weidman has.

 

[HyungminSon]

Mighty Mouse gets no hespect...

Aldo
Pettis
Gsp
THE CHRIS
Anderson
Bones
Cain

All legitimate contenders at this point, can anyone remember a time when there were this many Greats who were this dominant?

Then heres another question, does anyone else see all the potential matchups between them?! Chris vs Andy aside, well be lucky to see any of those names matched up together! I want to believe. They gave us Bj vs Gsp so im keeping faith.

 

[Khabib Fan]

The Chris is the black horse in the GOAT competition.

 

[Adamant]

There is only one GOAT and he is retired living happily in Russia.

 

[Wise1]

Mighty Mouse gets no hespect...

I give MM hespect but hes not really in that discussion quite yet but him and Cruz are both top notch, btw Cruz beat him.

Aldo is the current GOAT. All time - Fedor

 

[Baianada]

The fuck is Pettis, Weidman and Cain doing in this list?

Go to sleep bro

They all have GOAT potential if they keep smashing people the way they have.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Lightweight has been a hard class to keep the belt in, Pettis only needs what? 5 title defense and it's safe to say he's the best ufc lightweight ever.

Cain is cain, No heavyweight can beat him I already believe he is the UFC goat hw.

You can't have a current greatest of all time dummy.

 

[RockyLockridge]

We're talking potential here, Weidman especially of the 3 has the abillity to solidify his status of greatest of all time. He hasn't lost, has 2 wins over A.Silva and a win over a former LHW champ.

Add belfort, Jacare, anderson (again), Rockhold and maybe romero and he's gone with it imo.
