Follow Us. To be fair, the former light heavyweight champion was never out of the GOAT discussions. However, during his three-year layoff, the attention may have shifted from him for a brief while. The year-old has a long list of accomplishments against a stellar resume of opponents to solidify his claim. However, there are other candidates who are laying claim to the GOAT status.

At UFC , Nurmagomedov announced his retirement from MMA just moments after submitting Justin Gaethje to retain his lightweight title and move his record to overall. The undefeated Dagestani superstar then asked for a the No. While Jones conceded his No. The fact that this is even a conversation is mine blowing to me. LeBron James is allowed to win a game by one point but not Jon Jones. Man I have really spoiled you guys. People want me to stay quiet and let him have his moment while I just sit back and watch my hard work get moved down the rankings. But being the best is earned not given. This shit has nothing to do with fame or being a good person. Yet people want me to stay quiet and let him have his moment while I just sit back and watch my hard work get moved down the rankings. Not salty at all, I really do respect Khabib, I honor the type of man he is. Results Full Archive. Share this story Share this on Facebook Share this on Twitter.
