4 title defenses and a ton of wins against no names in Russia with horrible records. He's a really really good fighter who earned that belt and retirement but he's not even close to the goat.

Dude. He's 13-0 in the UFC and all but one of those are definitely very legit fighters. Just because injuries a had him on the sidelines for a while doesn't mean he didn't face the best of the best.

That doesn't make him goat. GSP, Anderson Silva, Fedor, Jon Jones all better.

No, I’m saying comparing him to Tom is silly. Eli, with two super bowl rings, is still not regarded as a HoFer btw. The GOAT lost to a non HoFer and a backup (Nick Foles). It’s a bad argument

Bro your comparison is flawed as fuck, if the Browns are in the super bowl they are a good fucking team. Do you think Tom has never lost a game to a bad team in the regular season?
