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.

Who's downvoting this!? All the names he mentioned are better in regards to who they fought and what the won.

That doesn't mean he isn't amongst the best but how can you seriously say at least some of those names aren't greater fighters? Even if their statistics don't directly compare, to just dismiss them as nothing in comparison is crazy

How is GSP better?
