You said the GOAT must be a HW but then say DC is GOAT LHW and possibly HW. So any LHW is a HW since 206 is HW. size isn't everything and at a certain point there are diminishing returns. Fedor KO'd HMC easily despite the size because he was powerful enough and fast enough. Fedor himself realistically is a LHW who simply never cut weight.Another make believe thread.
The MMA GOAT can only be a HW champ.
This is not boxing. Boxing takes more skill so it makes sense to compare skills between weight classes.
This is fighting fighting.
The GOAT is 100% Fedor. And after Fedor it's not GSP or Anderson, it's someone like Big Nog, or Werdum or Cain.
GSP is the WW GOAT without a question. MM is the flyweight GOAT, Aldo is the FW GOAT, LW, MW and LHW are up for grabs, although DC is probably the LHW GOAT, and a strong contender at HW too.
Anderson and Jones just the GOAT cheaters, and that's not a cute nickname, they are the actual GOAT cheaters. Anderson is only second to Jones, and Jones is second to none.

Right my bad.Fedor armbarred hmc you dummy
Anderson will never get the credit he deserves since he fought in a so called "weak division" for majority of his career but the guy has has wins in 3 weight classes, champion for 2 of them , holds many records still in UFC and in MMA in general.
Anderson is underrated imo, he should have more votes.
Jones never moved up, people think he is the GOAT.
FW Aldo even moved down and got dominated by BW Petr Yan, people think he is the GOAT.
There is a reason he created 165 lbs division for Eagle FC, between 155 lbs and 170 lbs the difference is getting bigger than the difference between 145 lbs and 155 lbs.
Jones never moved up, and don't tell me beating Bisping makes anybody goat
Jones and Anderson never moved up.
GSP only moved up when he saw a champion he was confident he could beat.
Mighty Mouse moved down and didn't want to fight the champion in the weight class above him when he was offered it.
