Looks like Cruz is the BW GOAT.

Except for LW (really disputed) all the lists has the correct answer for who is the GOAT in that weightclass

Thanks @acannxr for this threads
I'd like to see one with fighters who has fought in different weigthclasses more than once (Hendo, Vitor, Frankie, etc)

 

[milenss]

TJ Dillashaw is the GOAT at BW.
That was a fluke loss to Dominick.
He'd smash him again.

 

[Goodyroom]

missing garbrandt

 

[acannxr]

missing garbrandt

He's there, look more carefully .

 

[Megalodon]

Assuncao was top 5 when Dillashaw beat him in the rematch.

The cross divisional goats. I like it.

I know this is just based on Fight Matrix only but Assuncao not being there for TJ is hilarious

 

[bjpenngoat]

miguel torres is the most overrated fighter ever. his record is padded beyond belief. If you take his wec/ufc record he is really just a .500 guy.

Looks like Fight Matrix took him out due to inactivity. Otherwise, yes, he was on quite a streak before that fight and after.

Assuncao was ranked #7 after the Caraway fight, then he was removed from the rankings a year later due to inactivity.

 

[Brom Bones]

I miss the old WEC belt.

 

[pater13anthemios]

When Cody KO'ed Assuncao what was Assuncao's ranking according to fightmatrix? Because the UFC rankings had him top 10 if I remember correctly.

 

[Virtually Identical]

I wanna let you know again, how appreciative I am of you for making these threads

Added Sterling to the list.

TS, you're clearly a stats guy and put in some work on your posts. I'm curious, has anyone ever done anything that proves/disproves MMA-math that you're aware of?

 

[Substance Abuse]

Looks like Cruz is the BW GOAT.

Who thinks otherwise?

 

[bambammccoy]

Mike Easton was top 10 when TJ beat him.

I think Assuncao was as well.
