If Adesanya win the LHW title

[RockyLockridge]

But he got his ass kicked twice by Jones, so is he a true champ champ?

the answer is no he's not, DC LHW titles are both a product of jones absence, Jones is the superior fighter and should be valued way less than isreal andesanya.

Isreal is undefeated
Has Succeeded the MW GOAT in-octagon respectfully
Fighter of the year 2019
Won the title from a champion YOUNGER than him
Asked to defend the title against the most feared man in the division
Earned another defense against a younger, Undefeated fighter
*If he wins the LHW in march title he'll be an undefeated 2 weight Champion (first ever)
**should that happen, and he defend both titles, he will have amassed an UFC record of 12-0, 7-0 in title fights, 23-0 undefeated.

Isreals next 3 fights will tell us where he's at. but it's important to note should he beat jan, he'll have a ufc record of 10-0 in just over 3 years. just 1 or 2 more years undefeated and who knows?

 

[Satan's Daddy.]

He's near there, maybe another 7 or ten solid wins I'll say.

Penn beat Hughes and Couture beat Sylvia.

Meant it about this double champ at same time thing, but fair point

1- That is a big IF


But yeah

 

[alex21cms]

no dou to a shallow mw div so shallow costa looks good in it and not beating the true lhw champ btw i think jan beats him anyway

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Wouldnt be GOAT level yet but he'd be getting close to entering the discussion. Maybe 2-3 more solid wins after that.

 

[McSpikes]

GOAT needs to have longevity. He has to be on top for awhile to be in the running. If he were to beat Jones at HW like you said....I guess we can forget about the longevity thing....but thats not happening

 

[empsim]

Double champ doesn't mean much if you didn't have to climb the ranks in that division.

Needs a lot more fights to be anywhere close to GOAT debate.

If he had khabib bandwagon fans yes

 

[The Chosen]

Considering Khabib took no damage in his career Adesanya would need to do a bit more. He’s actually had competitive fights

 

[Do better]

is he already in the GOAT debate?

He cleaned his division at speed of light, he already have nothing to proove in MW.

His only bad note was his fight against Romero. But he won anyway.

For me, if he became double champ, defend at least once at LHW, and beat Jones at LHW or HW, he is the new undisputed GOAT.

Vettori was also a bad outing. Yes, he should be considered if he beats Jones, but not without him

 

[Jose Beehive]

If he Champ-Champs, then Champ-Champ-Champ is the next target.. And then yes he has completed MMA.
