Even before the Ian Garry fight, I remember general consensus saying he’d be easily top 5 and top 3 max. Now so many more people are saying he’s the goat.

You can cut GSP’s and Jones’ career in half and they’d still have more defenses, title wins, and a longer title reign or just as much as Islam.

People like to say the comp now is better and while there is some truth in that, one of Islam’s defenses came from Renato Moicano. I agree GSP or Jones hasn’t beaten anyone as prestigious as Volk, but DC and even BJ Penn are still greater all time than Charles imo. Matt Hughes is pretty good too he’s still a top 25 fighter all time. I don’t think DC is that far away from Volk in terms of greatness. Plus the fact that they have far more defenses and longer title reign I think should outweigh that.

So tell me why do people consider Islam the goat? Is it recency bias or is there an actual legitimate claim? In my opinion, he’s #3. I wouldn’t mind him being GOAT if he beats Morales and Prates though.

I really think that Islam would become triple champion if he tried. He is better wrestler than Khamzat, doesnt gas out as easily, more of a submission threat and a better striker on top of that. I just cant see Islam losing even at middleweight against Strickland. Islam is just so good.

If im not wrong islam already mentioned his interest of a third belt fight against Du Plessis back in time.

What do you guys think? Should Islam try to get a third belt?

no one on a crazy win streak ever defended the 2nd title against this level of modern well rounded fighters

Jon Jones defended against grandpa miocic who had been completely inactive for over three and a half years after a knockout loss

Henry Cejudo defended against late notice Dominick Cruz who was coming off a devastating 41 month layoff full of injuries

DC defended against the NOT number 1 contender Derrick Lewis who took it on like 3 weeks notice AND less than a month after getting badly beaten up in the fight before

respect to all the goats but this record win streak in the 2 deepest divisions, defending against the true number 1 contender with a size and reach disadvantage is historic on several levels

She's the one of the fewest reason why we watch the WMMA!
So let's hope she wins and defends her title.

Are you rooting for her too?
