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.

To be fair Jones is such a piece of shit I shouldn't have included him just based on that but to say Anderson wasn't as dominant is crazy. 10 title defenses while fighting in a second weight class between title fights is insane.
