Why is Mighty Mouse never mentioned in GOAT convos?

[Neuromancer]

Dude has 11 title defenses and arguably won his farewell fight in the UFC.



So why every time GOAT talk comes up people seem to forget he exists?

 

[Kenny West]

3 things

1. He lorded over the most historically shallow male division in the ufc with boring fights
2. This happened to him at Bantamweight

He never wanted to fukk with bantamweight again even when pressed for superfights, which leads us to
3. Then Heney Cejudo happened

Beat him at Flyweight and immediately challenges for (and wins) the bantamweight title. Eclipsed mm completely by doing what he was scared to.

Fair points.

Marketing.

Flyweight not being on par with 135/145.

I hear DJ mentioned all the time on other platforms. I don't see how he could be excluded from anyone's top 6/7 at least.

Glad he's getting paid in ONE but his "loss" to CCC was one of the most inconclusive ends to a longterm reign I've seen and not getting that trilogy was bullshyt.

 

[The axe murderer]

One of the most well rounded fighters. Had almost no weaknesses

"loss"

This is what I mean. That was a fishy loss

 

[The Guru]

He's small, black and soft spoken. Didn't have a heated rivalry, that doesn't help either.

 

[Reggie]

He wasn't controversial and flamboyant with it and he was in a division that is not as popular as the heavier ones. UFC never put effort in him either that I remember to market him as the all time great that he is either.

Izzy just bought him up in the GOAT conversation in an interview with Submission Radio the other day.
