When it comes to the debate of who is the GOAT when it comes to mixed martial arts, names including Khabib Nurmagomedov, Jon Jones, and former two-weight champion, Georges St-Pierre are often mentioned amongst some lengthy competition, however Chase Hooper claims the Canadian should traverse the list as the best grappler ever.
Nurmagomedov, a former undisputed lightweight champion, called time on his professional mixed martial arts career back in 2020, most recently successfully defending his lightweight throne in a title unification clash with then-interim gold holder, Justin Gaethje.
And just earlier this month, heavyweight champion, Jones would successfully defend his heavyweight throne for the first time — stopping the returning former two-time gold holder, Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden.
