Welcome to the GOAT club TJ!

[Rationality]

Give him a rematch with Dom now to see who the GOAT of that division really is.

 

[Venom]

His resume is better than Barao's. Agree?

By quality of opponent, decision, etc.

He's top 3 now at Bantamweight.

ETA: before you merge my thread into others' please pay attention to my title. Context got totally lost. I was primarily comparing TJ to Barao.

 

[Sapp]

For sure.

 

[MEAN357]

lol MMA way to quick to throw people in the goat category. One fight and hes the goat now? smh

 

[AceCooch]

By quality of opponent, decision, etc.

He's top 3 now at Bantamweight.

Agree?

He already was

 

[GSP_37]

And Cruz's?

Ehhhh....he fought Cruz very close, and beat Barao. In Bantamweight he is building a GOAT resume.

 

[Gilday]

Even though he's lost to Cruz, I think you can make the argument he's above him

NOT MUCH WORDS REALLY NEEDED NUMBERS DONT LIE

Definitely building an amazing resume. His win over barao alone put him on the map tbh since barao was so highly regarded. Lost to a knee-less cruz but Cruz is a great fighter himself. I'd def say IF he strung all the wins together without the loss to cruz he'd be indisputably on the list. Dudes fun af to watch and has a great skillset, still can't stand him as a person tho. Big win tonight for him

 

[tehJameson]

Tj beats him with ease when they have a rematch.

 

[Superman Elbow]

say it again but slower...cruz was close...yet tj lost then beats the same guy twice and hes goat? HA

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

TJ's def one of the Goats on the Bantamweight Division. He's setting up his legacy nicely, a win over Dominick Cruz should do it.

 

[ImmigrantMentality]

Barao's wasn't that good anyways, he beat a bunch of cans plus a old Faber. TJ is the best bantamweight all time though

 

[Felsh]

NOT MUCH WORDS REALLY NEEDED NUMBERS DONT LIE

CRUZ BW GOAT

 

[Rationality]

say it again but slower...cruz was close...yet tj lost then beats the same guy twice and hes goat? HA

Have you ever heard of Renan Barao?

 

[pinkybrief]

People don't even remember barao anymore

 

[rac2]

he lost to Dom in definitive fashion and he's the GOAT? get the fuck out of here.

 

[Shadowthrone]

He was after he destroyed him twice

 

[TGArthur]

Incredible fight!
