He’s got a good resume but I’d say there are far better divisions than LHW. Other than Gus and DC there aren’t any stand out fighters who are at the elite level. There’s some up and comers like Reyes, Santos and Walker but they’re not at the highest level yet.

Agreed. Even though he is no longer one of my favorite fighters, I can't deny that he is the GOAT. If you want to use the juicing excuse against him, that's fine because most of the top fighters were/are juicing. Look at how many fighter's careers tanked since the new drug testing was implemented. Wiedman, Belfort, JDS, Valesquez (debatable), and Hendricks to name a few.

I need to get myself out of here, I got like five yards away from the car and I remember that I had a bowl, a marijuana bowl in my cup holder, And so I knew that if the police found that bowl in my car, then everything was going to be so much worse than I thought it should be. And so I ran back, glanced at the cup holder, and the bowl had flown somewhere in the car and I just took off running again.” What an amazing man..

@@luke56 *Jon "Picogram" Jones will always have an asterisks beside his name for juicing. We'll never know if he could win those fights without PED's. Hell, he literally got found dirty again this week and they still let him fight anyway. The UFC has given Jones a pass to use PED's and that's the facts. He'll never be the greatest. GSP on the other hand never got hit for PED's. Matter fact, he's beaten fighters who fought him while they were on steroids. And GSP was always a class act. The true greatest of all time. Even Anderson Silva got popped for steroids. Did GSP ever get popped? Nope, clean all the way. The true champ. It's not even debatable.*
