Imagine making this thread and not using the term Goatkeeper.
IMO Fitch was a step or two above "gatekeeper" for a LONG time. He was a legit contender.Nobody can take that title from Fitch
Haha no judgement from me. I have a (female) friend who has a crush on Vladimir Putin <45>That’s a pretty weird crush imoWeird that I used to think Fitch was kinda hot ??
that's called a contender.The only right answer. The man who fought the most, fought the best and came so close to gold without getting it.

Dustin Poirier… he is like the gatekeeper for the Top3 for a long time, if you beat him you might get the title, maybe not, but he himself will never become the undisputed ufc champion of any division.
alot of ppl are mentioning guys who fought for a title, so theyre no longer gatekeeper
Sorry Guida is not the correct answer. Many people beat Guida, in order to be a gatekeeper u should atleast be in the top ten, just not good enough to beat the best but good enough to beat the rest. and once u beat a gatekeeper u enter the elite. I don't even know if Guida has ever been ranked in the top 10 or even 15. Dan hooker is on his way to being a gatekeeper, Brunson definitely one, Cowboy is also, RDA is another. Pettis used to be one before he started getting beat alot and left the UFC. Benavidez is another. Ubereem definitely not a gatekeeper, Overeem definitely a gatekeeper.Clay Guida is the correct answer
Faber was the best at his weight at the WEC, so I don’t count him. If the ufc had his weight class he would’ve been champ.

It might be the walk <45><45>Haha no judgement from me. I have a (female) friend who has a crush on Vladimir Putin <45>That’s a pretty weird crush imo
That's not how it works. The title is the gate, many gatekeepers make it to the doors and never walk though.
The premier example of this is Alexander Gustafsson.
no that's not true. It's champions, then contenders then gatekeepers. Gatekeepers are the people who aren't good enough to be in contention to fight for the title but are good enough that if you beat them then you start fighting contenders.That's not how it works.
