Dan would have a phenomenal resume... He is clearly one of the best ever now, and it would only raise his stock. Beating Jones is as big of a win as you can get at this point in MMA. However this is very pointless question since he has little to no chance against Jones.

Care to explain? Did you actually score the rounds, or just watch the fight as a whole and determine that Dan won...
It was a pretty clear 3-2 for page imo...

What do you think when GSP doesnt seem like he wants to fight Anderson... (Even though his opinion seems to change a lot, making it hard to really see what he thinks about that fight.)
If Dan actually beats Jones, than there is something to be said. He certainly deserves some respect for stepping up... He wont beat Jon, so it doesnt really make a difference...
than again if Herb Dean is in Dan's corner...I mean reffing the fight, he may have a shot.

Taken altogether: looking back at the "Decision Dan" era, the Anderson loss, the Nog Bros submissions, some razor thin wins and his current day gameplans(basically, go yard), I see too many negatives, and that's going before his Clemens-esque twilight dominance. I DO certainly think he's an "all-time great" with one of the most impressive resumes in MMA history, win or lose to Bones.... IMO, the column against his GOAT rating is too steep to ignore.
BTW, Rickson Gracie is the one and only GOAT  |
Agree.
Similar to the Anderson-Sonnen 1 fight I would put an * next to Hendo's fight vs. Sheilds... but you still cannot discount the stylistic match-up completely...
If Dan was to fight someone like Rashad Evans, he could easily be taken down to a UD loss.
