Yesterday, Kamaru Usman defended his belt against Gilbert Burns at UFC 258. It was his 13th consecutive win at Welterweight, breaking Georges St-Pierre's record of 12 straight wins. Now people are bringing up the GoaT conversation about Usman being the best WW in UFC history. What do you guys think?
Kamaru Usman (18-1) (13-0 in UFC) In UFC: 9 decisions, 3 KOs, 1 Sub Notable Wins: Leon Edwards via UD Demian Maia via UD Rafael dos Anjos via UD Tyron Woodley via UD to win the UFC WW Belt Colby Covington via KO (1st Defense) Jorge Masvidal via UD (2nd Defense) Gilbert Burns via KO (3rd Defense)
Georges St-Pierre (26-2) (19-2 in UFC @ww) In UFC: 12 decisions, 5 KOs, 2 Subs
2 Losses: Matt Hughes via Armbar for Vacant WW Belt Matt Serra via KO in first WW Defense
Notable Wins: Sean Sherk via KO BJ Penn via SD Matt Hughes via KO to win the UFC WW Belt Matt Hughes via Armbar for Interim Belt Matt Serra via KO to Unify WW Belts Jon Fitch via UD (1st Defense) BJ Penn via TKO (2nd Defense) Thiago Alves via UD (3rd Defense) Dan Hardy via UD (4th Defense) Josh Koscheck via UD (5th Defense) Jake Shields via UD (6th Defense) Carlos Condit via UD (7th Defense) Nick Diaz via UD (8th Defense) Johny Hendricks via SD (9th Defense, later vacated)
So who's the WW GoaT?

To me, GSP's total wins at WW and total defenses are more impressive, but 13 straight is impressive, and Usman feels unbeatable right now. If Usman breaks GSP's total defenses without a loss, then he joins that argument. But as of right now, I feel his goat talks are a bit premature.

There’s a difference between winning fights with nothing on the line and winning fights with everything on the line

GSP's notable wins weigh more to me because of the fighters that were in there.
Fuck you, Hughes.

I despise that GoaT is a thing, but I feel like GSP’s record is more impressive based on that overview. Clearly the only reason Usman hasn’t lost yet is that he hasn’t fought anyone named Matt.
