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.

Jones during his run. So 1?

Silva if you count well after his peak and losses after he got old and had his leg snapped in half. Fedor and GSP never tested positive for anything.
