Who is the brazillian MMA GOAT?

In your opinion. In my opinion all that matters is what you accomplish when you're at your peak. Early career losses and late career losses don't mean much to me. For example if Oliveira were to defend the belt 4x that would put him at a 13 fight win streak and 4 defenses. Same UFC win streak as Khabib and 1 more defense so in my eyes that puts Oliveira ahead of Khabib in the LW GOAT picture. Yes he has a bunch of losses and even if after those 4 defenses he were to lose a bunch more I'd still rank him ahead of Khabib.
That would also put him above BJ and Bendo who had LW 3 title defenses. I really think Khabib should've fought at least once more to break that record.
 
Anderson
Aldo
Big Nog
Nunes
Cyborg
Shogun
Werdum
Wandy
Royce
Machida
 
The disrespect in this thread. I love Anderson but PEDs hurt him here and while Royce is my favorite fighter of all time but there is only one man with the most submission wins in UFC History and that's Charlie Olives.



Call it recency bias all you want but but Do Bronx has to be a serious contender for this title.
 
Anderson wasn't caught until he was around 40 and had a gruesome leg injury. Before that he never showed any signs of roiding like Wand clearly did. I've already shown the fallacy of your other statement.
By Anderson's own words "When you use the steroids, you use them for a long time. When you use the steroids for a long time, you have a problem. It's a drug and it's not good for the sport.”
