Dana White seems to think it is Alex Pereira. If it weren't for the steroid use, it would be Jon Jones. But that ain't happening. Is it Anderson Silva? I think he deserves it over Poatan as it stands now, but given more time..

If PEDs take Jon out of the clean GOAT conversation, I still land closer to GSP than Poatan right now. Anderson has the mythic peak and the highlight reel, but GSP has the boringly brutal résumé: two divisions, avenged losses, long run at the top, and very little smoke around the machinery.

Poatan is incredible, and maybe the most cinematic answer, but GOAT usually needs time under load. A few more elite wins and the argument gets a lot less silly. For now he feels like the scariest chapter, not the whole book.
