If DC beats Stipe where do you rank him at?

[Frozen Sea]

If DC were to beat Stipe by a dominant UD or finish him and retire where would you rank him among the GOATs of the sport?

He would now be 14-0 at HW with wins over the likes of Roy Nelson, Barnett, Frank Mir, TRT Big Foot, and Stipe Miocic.

He would also be the 5th fighter to hold two titles in two weight classes and only the 2nd man in MMA history to hold 2 titles simultaneously.

His only 2 losses would be controversial losses to Jon Jones.

Top 5:

GSP
Fedor
Anderson
Jones
DC

Non caught for PED top 5
GSP
Fedor
DC
MM
Aldo

 

[Meathead Jock]

I would call him number 1.
Only lost to 1 man (great fighter) who cheated both times.

Beat Gus slightly more decisive than Jones.

Would be a legit double champ by taking on the longest reigning HW champ which means a lot more than say being a double champ by beating Bisping.

 

[Andersons Foot]

Higher than Fedor but not #1.

 

[Mangar]

Stipe isn't that good though.

 

[DetachedOrchid]

He has 1 loss and 1 NC, get it right.

 

[jojoRed]

The higher DC is ranked in the GOATs discussion, the better it looks for Jon Jones claim as the the greatest fighter of all time.

 

[Anderson Silva]

Fedor is a bum. Let it go with the memes

 

[Breaking]

Our GOAT list is getting crowded.

But there’s no way to keep DC off of it if he beats Stipe. As it is, he only has one loss, and he checks all of the boxes that are problems for other GOAT contenders:

—He’s faced quality competition for his entire career. (Unlike Fedor)

—Hasn’t had any fluke losses (unlike GSP)

—Can finish fights (unlike GSP)

—Hasn’t been popped for PEDs (unlike Silva and Jones)

If Mighty Mouse beats Dillashaw, we’ll have to add him as well...

 

[Sansnom]

Fix your poll, Fedor ain't the GOAT.

 

[DetachedOrchid]

Troll.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

It would just solidify Jones at GOAT

 

[Frozen Sea]

Fedor is a bum. Let it go with the memes

Fix your poll, Fedor ain't the GOAT.

I dont think hes the GOAT either but it seems like most of Sherdog does so I added that option.

As a legend even without the win because Stipe is overrated

Stipe is overated????? You're smoking some good stuff.

Pretty sure he's the champion who gets the most underestimated. You can't be overated if you're always the underdog.

 

[Steve-French]

If DC gets passed Stipe my list would be...

GSP
Jon Jones
DC
Fedor
Anderson Silva

HM: Jose Aldo

 

[krelianx]

Top 10 for sure. Arguably top 5.

Jones cheated.

 

[Robbie Corleone]

The higher DC is ranked in the GOATs discussion, the better it looks for Jon Jones claim as the the greatest fighter of all time.

Jon Jones is a drug cheat.

Probably number 2 under GSP.
