Obligatory 145 GOAT question

[taugrim]

Obviously Volk has had a terrific run. I do wonder how the back-to-back brutal KOs will affect his longevity. He still has the movement and skills, but once the chin goes...

A pretty strong case can be made for Aldo as FW GOAT.

 

[El Fernas]

Still Aldo.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Always has been Aldo. Never in doubt, never a question.

Love what Max and Volk did, but Aldos run is still untouched.

 

[jeff7b9]

It was always Aldo.

Great run for Volk though, respect.

 

[Fukkup]

Still Aldo.

Aldo is GOAT

 

[Venom]

Tired of the GOAT convo. shouldn't be happening.

UFC's milked it for the past 15 years and it's tiresome.

 

[e92m3]

Lmk when someone else goes undefeated for 10 years

 

[kkthx]

come the fuck on really, the only people who thought volk was the goat were the ones who started watching yesterday

 

[ExitLUPin]

Everyone saying all Aldo now that Volk got KOd bad but most of you were saying Volk before lol

UFC propaganda was saying Volk FW GOAT too

 

[achoo42]

Aldo still above Volk just like GSP still above Usman.

 

[Kenny95]

topuria is stronger than any contender aldo faced so just sayin

 

[Mr. Snrub]

I'd say Aldo until Max comes back and crushes everyone at featherweight.

 

[Sweater of AV]

Respect to Volk, the guy is an absolute animal. His run was pretty incredible but he needed a couple more defenses to be in the conversation with Jose.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

There was NEVER a case for Alex being the FW GOAT. He was still several defences behind Aldo. Only noobs, and UFC employees were calling him the GOAT.

 

[Young Calf Kick]

Volk still the GOAT

Aldo went 0-4 against all other “FW GOAT” contenders and NO he wasn’t old, McGregor fight was at 29, Max fights at 30 and 31, Volk at 33.

FW competition got better from 2012 and onwards. But nostalgia, the usual blatant Aldo favoritism and recency bias will always disagree

Have at it
