What is your GOAT list now?

After the retirement of a GOAT candidate how does your list look?

For me. I only rank by resume. So I have

1. Jones (if you want to DQ for steroids I understand, i just kinda assume they all are. But Jones's resume is absurd)
2. GSP
3a. Fedor
3b. Khabib
5. Anderson

Khabib-Fedor is crazy close imo

Because you kinda get into a Peak wins (Fedor-Cro Cop, Nog, etc. vs Khabib-Conor, Justin, Dustin etc.) and also wins over time which Khabib didn't lose, while Fedor had a tough last quarter of his career post prime.

How do you guys have it?
Jon Jones
Anderson Silva
Fedor Emelianenko
Hendo
Big Nog
GSP
Shogun
 
So when did he pop multiple times, let alone once.. like Silva or Jones? Use facts when giving opinion, helps as an adult.
Look at how many of GSP’s opponents have popped ? If you think the “ clean” guy is dominating the roid heads then you aren’t educated enough to comment on steroids .....use common sense when you’re giving an opinion, helps as an Adult
 
IMO:
1. Fedor
2. Aldo
3. DJ
4-8 Edgar
4-8 Cejudo
4-8 Big Nog
4-8 Sakuraba
4-8 Penn

No GSP because of greasing during fights and spamming groin kicks in his second fight with Hughes, no Jones or Anderson because of obvious reasons.
Would had added Cormier in the list if he didn't add eye pokes to his gameplan.
I also have bigger respect for fighters that isn't afraid of taking on bigger fighters.
 
i was going to start a threat but i remember this thread from 5 years ago


5 years was the last post....lists can change, things can change

has your GOAT top 5 changed at all?
 
The only thing that’s changed in my top 5 all time is that my #5 and #6 have switched places.
  1. Fedor
  2. GSP
  3. Jones
  4. Silva
  5. Mighty Mouse
I used to have Aldo #5 and MM #6, but after Jose struggled a bit at the end of his career while MM won the ONE title, I flipped them.
 
5 years...well, I'm thinking about letting Anderson Silva back on the list despite his positive drug test. Jones is now permanently banned for being even more of a cheating douchebag than before, and it was already pretty bad 5 years ago.

Thinking something like
Fedor
GSP
Silva
DJ
Aldo
 
I’ll keep mine to ufc fighters only….
1. Jones (ducking tom is making this hard)
2. Gsp
3. Silva (my favorite ufc fighter ever)
4. DJ
5. Khabib
 
Fedor.
He sits at the top of the mountain. Though if someone said GSP, they are not wrong and make a great point.

Jones and Andy go into the category of Barry Bonds or Pete Rose, they cheated.

Khabib is very over rated. No big wins and then quit. What is his legacy? Beating that overrated Irish drunk.

Jones resume is not absurd.

Compare Jones first 31 fights (thats all he has) to Fedors first 33

Fedor had more top 10s and ATG wins that Jon

If Jon's resume is absurd at 31 fights then Fedor is godly
 
Jones and Andy our for roids.

khabib three defences?

gsp undisputed goat
what about fedor who fought in ped abusing org?
then gets humiliated in a drug tested org?
what about gsp who only fought in steroid era of the ufc?
then refuses to fight in usada era

Why Jones is at #3? You have Anderson at #4 so clearly you don’t care about PED’s and Fedor and GSP haven’t really been tested too. So why is Jones so low on your list?
 
Fedor
Anderson
GSP
Sakuraba
Royce
Jones
DC
Aldo
Hendo
Minotauro
Shogun
Wand
Mouse
Volk
Mirko
Lawler
Diaz bros
Cruz
