He isn't a goat candidate yet.Why is there not Khabib? Breinfahrt?

A lot of mma fans just aren't that bright.He tapped to an armbar against Hughes, which is ten times worse than tapping to strikes. Any doctor will tell you head strikes are much more dangerous and have far worse long term consequences than a broken arm.
I don't get why people call GSP on tapping to strikes but give him a pass on tapping to an armbar -- it suggests they have no medical knowledge. Talk to a doctor, you'll soon learn you have it backwards.
Anyone who thinks tapping to strikes is worse needs a remedial course in medicine.
There's something about Jones dominating 5 former UFC champions (finishing 4 of them) that just makes GSP's 7 consecutive decision streak even weaker.
And let's not forget Jones easily finished Ryan Bader giving him his first career loss after he had just won TUF. GSP on the other hand got TKO'd in his first title defense by Matt Serra right after he had won TUF. Don't get me wrong though. I don't think Jones is the GOAT either.
AT CHEATING?! AND failed PED TESTS?! GTFO of hereJones is the all time GOAT.
2 more title defences and Khabib will have equalled Fedor.Khabib only has 1 title defense. He could get there. All of the other guys on the list have defended their titles 7 - 11 times. People are too concerned with 'what have you done for me lately?'.
That’s why Jones is on another level from everyone else. Because he has beaten so many number one contenders plus former champions.Beating former champs is the most overrated thing in mma. Beating number 1 contender is way better.

why put yourself in that position though
Ironically he has done it in one of the most dead divisions in the MMA yet GSP has more top 5 wins and wins against former UFC champions than him .That’s why Jones is on another level from everyone else. Because he has beaten so many number one contenders plus former champions.
jones is exciting as was Silva but both marked by their being flagfed by usada.
not a fan but, he has moments. I'd argue GSP but if your metric for goat status is excitement, you eliminate him. furthermore, he ducked Silva and cherry picked a mw fight before not defending. if Max beat Dusty or khabib I'd argue him then. I guess DC. i hope dc clobbers jon at hw.
MMA is not a sport.
mma is sport ENTERTAINMENT imo
CM punk was allow to fight in the UFC.
I challenge you to mention a legit sport that allows individuals with 0 experience be part of a professional game?

but didn't uou dismiss jon cause of boredom? i think gsp has to be with no tainted usada flagging. Fedor would have been but no ufc and obliterated by a natural mw. i think DC has claim.
