We will probably never all agree on who the greatest fighter in MMA is. On the latest episode of The JRE MMA Show<\/a>, however, UFC color commentator Joe Rogan and top light contender Kevin Lee<\/a> did their best to figure it out.<\/p>\n

In Rogan’s opinion, it comes down to two men: former UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, and reigning UFC flyweight champion Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson.<\/p>\n

“The argument is [Johnson] and Jon Jones,” Rogan said. “I feel like Jon Jones, as far as the level of talent [he’s fought], no question. Jon’s faced [Shogun] Rua, [Daniel Cormier] twice, [Alexander] Gustafsson, Vitor Belfort\u2014I mean, Jesus Christ, you could just keep going and going and going\u2014Glover Teixeira…”<\/p>\n

In Lee’s opinion, however, former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion Georges St-Pierre<\/a> is another frontrunner in the debate\u2014though he might be a slightly outdated model in the year 2018.<\/p>\n

“I think Georges St-Pierre, still,” Lee said. “I think Georges is a little bit behind the times now…”<\/p>\n

“I think Georges St-Pierre, for sure, is the greatest fighter that there’s been,” he clarified. “When you look at the resume, I don’t think anybody else compares, really. He’s got two losses, and avenged both those losses devastatingly. He came back after four years and won the title at a higher weight class. And he’s never really been in too much trouble in a fight. I look at the style, he’s one of the very first guys \u2014 he’s really what got me into the sport, because I saw his fight with BJ [Penn]. I could see it, I was like ‘this guy, he’s smart.’ He’s approaching it smart, like a true athlete, like a true artist. There are [other] people that do it too. Demetrious does it too, I just don’t think to the level that Georges has done.”<\/p>\n

Rogan then responded, agreeing that St-Pierre probably belong in the debate alongside Jones and Johnson.<\/p>\n

“Georges fought some serious competition,” he said. “Not that Demetrious didn’t.”<\/p>\n

What do you think of Joe Rogan and Kevin Lee’s take on the GOAT debate?<\/p>\n
