You have to wait till most of their opponents and contemporaries are retired to really say. Bones is going out of his way to ruin what should've been an inarguable spot at best so far. But as long as the gloves aren't officially hung up, who knows.

i don't think it's fair to say "better", it seems a bit redundant. they were as good as they were because of who they were fighting, if the industry plateaus then how can it be expected that they reach a higher peak.

eventually it gets to that stage as with everything. new generation outshines previous generation but its still important to remember the goats of the past and appreciate what they did. without them we wouldn't have what we have now

No, otherwise their respective records would demonstrate that. No one in their right mind honestly believes Jon Jones would've had a realistic chance of beating Fedor.

Depends on the ruleset. I think stomps were beneficial for Fedor cause he used judo throws while legal elbows are beneficial to Jon and he also likes to exploit the soccer kick rule.

Cage vs Ring probably has a significant effect too.

It was apparent years ago that Jones was the goat at LHW. Mighty Mouse passes the eye test for goat at flyweight. Khabib? No

So who's better LW than Khabib?

Jones was a champion at the same time as Silva and GSP. You can't act like he's "the next generation" when he's literally contemporaries with them.

I could be wrong but no, I don't.
