Who are the clear GOATs per division in the UFC????

[Lionheart7167]

The only divisions I can really see a CLEAR GOAT is LW (Demetrious), WW (GSP) and LHW (Jones). For Women it's pretty obvious Shevchenko and Nunes ruled their respectives.

HW- Stipe is the obvious choice, but you can argue that Cain is up there. Hell, there's even an argument for Randy seeing as how he was the only 3 time champ
LHW- Jones (PED use and speculation notwithstanding)
MW- Most people would say Silva, although I think there COULD be an argument for Izzy if you assess the opposition. Still, I think Silva is pretty obvious choice
WW- GSP
LW- Khabib, Penn, Islam?
FW- Aldo, Max, Volk?
BW- Cruz probably? Any others?
LW- DJ

Womens FW- Nunes
Womens BW- Nunes
Womens FLW- Shevchenko
Womens straweight- Joanna?

Silva's opposition was better no question.

 

[JKS]

Stipe
Jones
Anderson
GSP
Khabib

All locks

The others not so much.

 

[NoBiasJustMMA]

Stipe
Jones
Anderson
GSP
Khabib
Aldo
Cruz
Pantoja

Honestly all are locks IMO when you count title defenses/years of dominance.

 

[RedDevilFan]

LHW-JBJ
MW- SIlva
WW-GSP

The rest are not really GOATs, just good champions. With JBJ being the most talented out of the three.

 

[joy2day]

Stipe
Jones
Anderson
GSP
Khabib
Aldo
Cruz
Pantoja

Pretty much true if you are not considering roids. A little questionable on Khabib because of a shorter title reign and early retirement without facing real challenges to his style; not totally unreasonable although.

Nunes and Valentina for WMMA.

 

[Geniusss]

Miocic
Jones
Silva
GSP
Khabib so far
Aldo
Sterling I guess? Or Cruz
DJ

Nunes
Shevchenko
Joanna

 

[Westbrick]

UFC only:
Miocic
JJ
Anderson
GSP
LW there's no clean GOAT
FW Aldo
BW there's no clean GOAT
FLW DJ

 

[MarioLemieux]

Stipe
Jones
Silva
GSP
Khabib

Pretty much true if you are not considering roids. A little questionable on Khabib because of a shorter title reign and early retirement without facing real challenges to his style; not totally unreasonable although.

Prime Justin was a huge challenge to his style let's not forget he was D1 level sprawl and brawler and also that Khabib was perhaps the most dominant fighter ever in terms of not taking damage.
