To say that a guy who broke the rules by taking illegal substances is the greatest ever is really not that much different than saying that a guy who fights with a baseball bat is the greatest ever. People think it's the same because the substances he has taken aren't visible to the naked eye, like a baseball bat would, but the advantage is still there. MMA is a game. Every game has rules. In order to be the best AT THAT GAME, you HAVE TO follow the rules of that game. If you're not following the rules, you're not playing the game. If you're not playing the game, you can't be the best at it. Am i the best pool player if i play with my hands instead of using the cue? Everyone else is using cues, but i'm using my hands. Am i better than them?
I mean, it kind of baffling how hard it is for some people to understand such a simple concept. I don't give a fuck how in love you are with Jon Jones. He is a cheater, and cheaters can't be the numero uno.
