Imagine if KZ beats Volk, then Max...

The Darkhorse. AKA, the knight and shining terror, he's coming...

You've all been warned...

Does he become the Featherweight Goat?

I knew before entering this thread that the title was leading to this question.

No, he wouldn't even be close to the #2 all-time Featherweight (Holloway), let alone #1 (Aldo).
 
i dont see a path to victory for zombie.

i mean i guess you could say the Yair fight got stolen from him due to a dumb IQ decision. And say that Ortega's elbow messed up his vision which is why he lost a standup match to a BJJ guy. But yeah you are making alot of excuses for the guy at that point. Both of them fought Aldo and volk pushed him around the whole fight pretty easy.

Well, regardless he will be in the talks if it happens. But if he goes on a tear in which I think could happen, he might become the F.W Goat to some...
 
and then ortega faces him and completely fucking destroys him again.

yes that would be cool.

No, he won't.

KZ only has two top ten ranked wins, so even if he went "on a tear", he wouldn't get anywhere near the number of top ten ranked wins to get close to Holloway (10) or Aldo (12).

Sad fact: KZ's longest win streak since 2009 was only three victories, back in 2011-2012.

Garbage thread for one of my favorite fighters.

Nah, I'm fairly certain he'll be in the talks if that were to happen.

Many people have turned their careers over with not a great history prior to making their run. I can name quite a few actually. Crazier things have happened. I called Robbie Lawler to be a champion, and said Dustin could be champion in L.W one day...

There's a difference between thinking someone could turn their career around and someone becoming a divisional goat; KZ would need 10 top ten ranked wins to just match Aldo, which at KZ's schedule would take a little over 7 years of nothing but victories and put him at 41 years old.

I'm done arguing this point, cya ;).

Not unless you beat Volk and Max and go on a tear. Those two aren't mutually exclusive if that happens.

On top of that, you're making 2 assumptions here. 1.)The amount of fights you think he'll have. 2.)The number of fights does is not necessarily greater to the quality of the fights.

Bottom line is, it's all subjective...
 
Big fan of Zombie but after his last 3 fights, there is absolutely nothing suggesting he could beat Volks AND Max, back to back. I don't even see him being competitive in both those fights.
 
2 wins back to back makes you a goat now??<BakerNo>

What about his 2 loses to Yair and T-City??

It doesn't matter, he's faced Poirier, Jose, Yair and Edger. He also completely out wrestled Dan Ige.

When KZ is on, you'll see the beauty in his brilliance...

Dustin wasn't the fighter he is today, Yair isn't amazing despite his never-ending hype, and let's not pretend like the Edgar he fought wasn't fading by that point. Sure, he'd just fought Max for the belt, but he got that shot off a win over Cub.

Nope, he's certainly not the fighter he was. Neither is Aldo. But my response was in context to KZ having fought tough competition after he fought Hominick.

My point is that I still see a lot of potential in KZ, regardless what the majority consensus is. I've taken the road less traveled with my predictions, and more often than not, the majority came true.

So this isn't anything new to me. We'll find out sooner or later...
 
Who predicted Gaethje would be champ way before he even came to the UFC? Yeah, my responses were 10x more worse than this. He did become interim and may win the undisputed....
 
And what about Robbie Lawler? Yeah, you'll must have forgot...
