The mount rushmore of goats has been Jones, GSP, Silva, and Fedor for a long time. Who else will make it on the list?

[fishbisquit]

Old school fighters like Henderson and shields have some resumes that very few new guys can compete with. Then you have mighty mouse, aldo, and a slew of other guys that are close. Khabib went undefeated but doesnt have near the strength of competition to get there. I see 2 or 3 guys that can be there, but they need 5 more years of winnning first. Who do you think will be the next one?

I don't think Islam is 5 years away from doing that, if he beats Arman and Charles again you can already argue he's top 4. If he does that + becomes 170 champ then there's no debate and you could argue even higher than top 4.

Two of those have popped for PEDs and Jones multiple times. I'd say khabib and mighty mouse have a better case

I'd have to say any list without Mighty Mouse is nonsense. The guy is the most complete fighter we've ever seen.
Aldo definitely there too.
Khabib I just don't see. Obviously very dominant, but he's got 3 genuinely good wins.
Volk not quite there, but I'd argue his first fight with Islam was the peak of MMA for the calibre of fighters involved.

I think Khabib is better than Jones because he ducked Usman and old GSP and he has less title defenses than him so he is definitely top 3

Travis Lutter is on the mount rushmore of BJJ probably, the michael jordan of bjj

 

[20falarVerdades]

Jose Also should be there.

Zabit for obvious reasons

remember the name! i actually forgot his name, but thats a joke. khabib and mighty mouse seem like good names for it. volk had such a nice run, but fell a lil short.

if ale wins his next 5-6 fights. i'd say him for sure.

Can't like posts atm but well done sir

LOL @ anyone saying Khabib. Mighty Mouse is an unpopular fighter in an unpopular division but he is really the only other fighter who belongs in this category besides Aldo. Islam doesn't have the level of available competition to reach these heights IMHO. It's not his fault but the LW division is a shell of what it once was and it will be a good while until the shelves are restocked

i guess 3 title defenses and earning the title from al iaquinta put you in goat conversation

The manlet Topuria will overtake all.

I agree with what you said about Islam, but then you rank Mouse highly which is a bit of a contradiction. Mouse has a weak resume and the best fighters he fought or were available to him he either lost to, went 1-1 or ducked altogether.

he just has a very nice number of stats but there's no weight behind it. Literally.

They are already hard at work on the next inclusion. Here's some prototypes:
