      He has more fights in the UFC than Cejudo who has lost more times in the UFC than Volk has total losses on his resume.
      He has more wins in his career at Welterweight (3) than BJ Penn has wins at Featherweight (0). (Frankly Penn even being in anyone's Top 15 is idiotic considering Penn's total MMA record is 16-14-2)

    Volk not being on the list is kinda crazy imo. I think Kamaru/Volk would be a good comparison and tie. Both mauled their division as champ (until leon showed up baby boom headshot). I can see how Cormier is above Henry because Khabib has bias from friendship and the weight difference between LHW and HW weights like Chael said. However I think the "2 divison OLYMPIC gold medalist" puts higher degrees on a legacy then "Multiple All American 2 division champ". Jon being number 1 is just facts. Might mouse could be tied with GSP. Both of those 2 are different level like Jon Jones but Jon has the constant clutch factor that he can win and beat the opponent that is why he is number 1. GSP and MM both have had ups and huge highs in their careers so its a hard tie IMO and that could fit Volk in the list.

    Conor won two titles, but was stripped of them both for never defending them. He doesn't deserve to be on a list with champions who won and defended a title many times and stayed at the top of their divisions for many years.
    Jones defended the light heavyweight title 11 times, 8 of them in a row.
    Anderson Silva defended the middleweight title 10 times in a row.
    George St Pierre defended the welterweight title 9 times in a row.
    Israel Adesanya defended the middleweight title 5 times, so far.
    Kamaru Usman defended the welterweight title 5 times.
    Dominic Cruz defended the bantamweight title 3 times.
    Conor defended his titles zero times. Winning one fight can be a fluke, even if it's in spectacular fashion. Defending at title is what makes a great champion.

    Chael, you have officially changed my mind and I’m now back to believing that The GOAT is Anderson Silva. I’ve always had a list made up of the usual suspects. Anderson Silva, Mighty Mouse, Jones, Fedor and depending on the day and how the conversation was going. My #1 would change. But I think everyone is dealing with a bit of recency bias. Because the true pound for pound king is Silva for all the reasons you listed and that’s because he fought and won in dominating fashion in all of those weight classes. He challenged himself to the max. Connor has also challenged himself to the max going from looking half dead on weigh in day to fighting at weights far higher. But he didn’t go on a rampage like Anderson did when he fought probably my all time favorite fighter in Forrest Griffin ( I didn’t say the best just MY favorite. ) at 205 and won convincingly with a KO. Mad respect to everyone on anyone’s top 10 list. They’re all there for a reason but Anderson gets the vote from me. Followed by I think I have to go with Mighty Mouse. He’s been the most dominant person at their respective weight class for so long. Without any controversy, out of the cage issues or anything. Then it’s GSP because… it’s GSP and then Jon Jones. The follow up list might change order tomorrow because I’ll remember something I forgot about today. But that’s how my list looks.
