I was torn between "legit undefeated champ" and "jury is still out, beat machida." I voted for legit champ because i think he has 100% earned what he has, but I don't think he is only two fights away from being mw goat. I do think that he needs to beat machida to be the undisputed #1 mw. If he beats machida I think that will be more impressive than any of anderson's victories but two defenses is hardly comparable to what Anderson did. If he cleans out Machida, Belfort, Rockhold, Jacare, and mousasi (whichever of them manage to earn title fights) then there will definitely be a strong argument to be made for him being the mw goat. If he is still champ after 4 more defenses with how much stronger mw is now, I will most likely consider him to have surpassed Anderson. Whether or not I put him ahead of gsp and fedor remains to be seen.
