When you hear “if he wins this fight he’s the (insert division) GOAT”, bet the other guy.

They come in different versions.

“If dricus beats khamzat, he’s the MW GOAT”

“I love Anderson buy if DDP wins Saturday night, I got to put him over Silva”

“If Charles beat Islam, he’s LW GOAT”

“If Charles win, he surpasses Khabib as the LW GOAT”

“If Usman beats Leon, he’s the WW GOAT. His resume would be better than GSP”



If, If, If…..It’s an annoying qualifier for a hype job. Why not let the fighter finishes his career and have a look at his resume vs other fighters. You’re going to condition a goat status on 1 upcoming fight?

Anyone that thought that win would've made DDP MW GOAT wasn't worth paying attention to anyway.

There was a lot of them. Seems like the formula is:
1. Have a fan favorite fighter
2. Be champion and have a couple of title defenses
3. Have a big upcoming title fight
4. Let’s anoint him as division goat before the fight(conditional that he wins) so we can be ahead of the curve to look original and smart.
