If Alex entered MMA in his prime would he be classed a goat? Who would beat him? Gastelum? Bisping? Costa? Anderson? Weidman? Fedor? PALHARES? Hunt?

So, basically: If Alex had all of the abillity he has now after years of fighting, but somehow had it in his late twenties, and also hadn't focused on striking but somehow, magically, possesed the same elite kick boxing skills while practicing all the other fighting skills?

Yeah, I guess this mythical creature would do good.

I think his striking might actually be better in some ways if he could have developed it strictly for MMA. His grappling of course would be much better, that goes without saying

Those 'what if' threads are so pointless. What's the point discussing things that never happened and never will?
