Is Cejudo a Top 5 GOAT?

[Brodie]

The consensus goats are GSP, Silva, Fedor and Jones in some order.


Cejudo has victories over prime DJ, juiced up Dillashaw,Moares who won 17 of his last 18 before Cejudo, and now Cruz.


Champ in 2 divisions and successfully defended in both divisions.


Does Cejudo round out the Top 5 of all time?

 

[TheComebackKid]

Absolutely not

 

[MartiniSIDe]

He's definitely top 20 but he has not been at the top long enough to be considered alongside GSP, Fedor, Silva etc.

I would put him in front of Frankie Edgar but not by much.

 

[Cung Le]

Not top 5 but if he didn't retire he could get there quick.

 

[Ballswing]

Nope

 

[Simple Southerner]

F no

 

[TheSpider]

Aldo > Triple C

 

[Megalodon]

Nah he doesn't have the longevity but if he stuck around he wouldn't need many defenses to be up there tbh.

His resume is fantastic, it's a shame is he retires.

But at the same time fair play to him for going out on top.

 

[Small Town Andrew]

Lol no chance

 

[Murder_KickHC]

1. Conor Mcgregor
2. Anderson Silva
3. Jon Jones
4. GSP
5. Triple C

 

[Everbest]

GSP consensus?

No.

It's Silva, Jones, Fedor, Aldo, Cejudo now.

then the rest.

He has got some great wins against guys bigger than him but he needs to continue performing at this level for a couple of years before he’s even remotely close to what the other GOATs have achieved. It is impressive though that he managed to do what MM never did which was beat up elite guys bigger than you. MM also has no business in being talked about as a GOAT contender unless it’s as the FlW GOAT.

1. Conor Mcgregor
2. Anderson Silva
3. Jon Jones
4. GSP
5. Triple C

That is just dumb. McGregor simply does not belong on the list, let alone #1.

 

[Lavitz]

If he takes out Yan, Sterling, and Sandhagen he would be in a good spot.

 

[Chubi]

The number of title defenses is a huge part of the goat status, that's why Conor is far from being the goat.

 

[Murder_KickHC]

That is just dumb. McGregor simply does not belong on the list, let alone #1.

Conor Mcgregor single handidly made MMA Mainstream. He should demand part ownership of the UFC because without him the sport of MMA would just roll over and die on the spot.

 

[Alxair]

Absolutely not.

 

[GangGangGang]

GSP consensus?

No.

It's Silva, Jones, Fedor, Aldo, Cejudo now.

then the rest.

Mighty Mouse is for sure above Cejudo still. He finished him and arguably won the rematch. Also being champion for

mcgregor lmao

 

[george14]

Not sure if troll thread or genuine recency bias.

Consensus Top 5 (roids or not) in no order:
Fedor, Jones, GSP, Silva, and Mighty Mouse.

I would also add MM can be reasonably replaced by some guys like DC, Hendo,

 

[BFoe]

Lmao, no.

 

[ufc20]

Yes, if for no reason other than to antagonize the haters.
Also, members of the USADA club aren't GOATs.

 

[JosephTessaro]

I'd say if he had a couple more wins against the likes of Aldo, Edgar and TJ all at 135 (first TJ was at 125) then yes, he would definitely be ranked in the top 5.

You got me once. Not again.
