Jeff, you dirty motherfucker. You done changed up the rules on me. And.... you're making sense.
Excuse me while I shake a fist at

Excuse me while I shake a fist at the sky and scream some unintelligible, saliva-projecting threats through clenched teeth.
You're making some fair points - GOAT vs P4P. Damn, Sherdog is getting all technical, eh? I def have to give some weight to Jon has had 2 mins of fight time in the last 3 years - that actually makes a ton of sense.
Fine! Fine! Convince me, fine! Yes, I'm convinced.... fine! Good points.
Jon is such a total outlier.
Generally speaking a guy who has won SÌXTEEN consecutive title fights. 16.
If I am not mistaken I believe that is more title fight wins than all the current champs combined.
Quick math in my head the men have 10 title defense between all of them.
LHW is vancant and HW is Jones.
So 6 champs, each won the title 10+6=16

Edit: Jon has as many title wins as all the male champs combined.
So yes, of course it sound ridiculous to say that guy isn't #1.
But also not many guys are still winning title fights after a notable decline, eleventeen years into a UFC career.
Weren't the Santos and Reyes fights around 4 years ago? I think it is fair to say Prime Bones would have wiped the floor with those guys in 2 rounds or less. Jon finished young/prime fighting age Shogun, Machida and Rampage back to back to back.
So let's say Jon is 60% of full Jon Jones capacity. I think that's fair. He is way slower. But he is STILL WINNING.

Meanwhile Islam is at his absolute prime, peak athletic ability, and after establishing untouchable wrestling, now he is dropping elite fighters and knocking them out.
That headkick was gorgeous.

Jones' headkick vs DC was gorgeous.
But I bet it was atleast 4 years ago.
If Jon headkicks Stipe, then maybe I am wrong
