Time To Start Putting Cormier In GOAT Discussion?

[FedorRoks]

Cormier is 18-1 and his only loss is to a person who has been busted for presumed PED's.

Cormier won the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix.

Cormier is the current UFC LHW champion.

Has Cormier entered into the GOAT conversation?

 

[ExitLUPin]

Hell no
He isn't even in the top 30 and isn't top 10 alltime in either HW or LHW

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Nope.

 

[TheRuthlessOne]

DC is definitely top 30

 

[GrAtI]

Nope

 

[welcometohavoc]

Fight Matrix currently has him #12 alltime LHW which I think is fair. His resume isn't nearly as good as alot of other LHW's and that performance last night alone should tarnish his legacy

 

[VulcanNervPinch]

You owe us 1000 of these, before you're allowed to post again.

I think he made top 30 even before beating silva. He's got HWs like Barnett, Mir, Hunt and elite LHWs like Rumble and Gus. Not sure how high the hendo win ranks but thats a big name at least. A really strong resume although nowhere near GOAT discussion yet.

More like put him on FS1

Interesting.

I really don't have a strong feeling on the matter. More curious about what others think.

Cormier is a heck of a fighter and his resume is probably boosted with the Jones fallout.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

haha you couldn't have picked a WORSE time to ask that question TS, especially when all the kickboxing fans are shitting on him for wrestling Silva.

 

[machidafan99]

yeah but he's gotta beat the guy the lost to

haha. I just figured with the Jones positive test coming in and Cormier improving to 18-1 now might be a good time to ask the question.

 

[BreadnButter]

To be the GOAT you have to be above everyone else and have no equal for a period of time and win in dominant fashion like Fedor.

 

[Simian Raticus]

His resume is much more impressive than most would like to admit but the answer is still no at this stage.

[Significance Deficit]

He's clearly in the discussion now that Jones has taken himself out of consideration.

 

[LMNT]

The Cormier I saw last night is far from GOAT anything.

 

[007]

no way

 

[FedorRoks]

The Cormier I saw last night is far from GOAT anything.

He won very easily in the fight.
