    Usman was close to welterweight GOAT, but he had to survive that last minute against Leon for 6th defense. Beat Belal for his 7th defense. Then in a 5 rounder, he would have beat Khamzat Chimaev for this 8th defense, and at that point he would have been GOAT. Honestly, that last minute headkick was legacy changing. He's #2 welterweight

      It's one of those inflated rankings. Like in 2019, Masvidal was #2 ww after beating till, askren, diaz. Guys like Colby/Burns/Edwards didn't get their big wins until 2020+. So by default Jorge is #2 but it's kind of a fluke. Similar example is Tai Tuivasa was #4 HW when he put together a streak of 5-0.

I knew he would never defend the title, so idk why dana would be upset.

Ufc is about as much of a sport as the wwe or some local bar league. Luke is going to say ad the old gen loses interest, the new gen comes in. Except the ufc viewer numbers are down. Their way of doing business is absolutely hurting them. They are doing it to themselves.

    To Luke's point about fighters getting paid and getting out of the game early as possible...If the middle of the ranks fighters made enough money I truly believe we would see more career paths similar to Charles Olivera...in that he was a mid rank fighter and hit a skill plateau...continued to grind thru....and it is at this point that many many of these fighters bow out because of financial pressures. One can only assume at least a few of these guys get over the plateau and hit that next level after several losses....similar to the way Charles did.
    Also on fighter pay....the skill gap between LHW, HW and the rest of the lower classes is just silly. What happened the last time we had a real HW American ATHLETE come to the sport?? Brock came in with almost no MMA training and ran through the top of the division. The only reason this happened was because Brock was already rich. HW guys here in the states with that much talent just don't take MMA pay seriously because why should they when they can go and make ten times as much in any other sport. In saying that I think there is NO SHOT Jon gives the UFC what they want and fights Aspinal...unless....UNLESS...he is really hard up for the money.
