Johnson is a surprise to this list but Jon Jones and ‘GSP‘ frequently top many fans’ picks for being the GOAT.

Contrary to normal list, Joe Rogan believes that it is Johnson to whom this honour belongs. He said he was disappointed with the UFC Legend as he could never become a mega-star on the world stage.

He was speaking in his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience” and said, “Here’s what’s disappointing to me, that for whatever reason, ‘Mighty Mouse’ never became a giant superstar.”

He said he was totally confused with him. “That confused the s**t out of me. When he took Ray Borg and suplexed him and caught him with an armbar on the way down… I was like, ‘What the fk does this guy have to do to become a superstar?’ I mean, his skill level is off the chart.”, Rogan added.

Praising Johnson’s fitness level, the 53 year old said, “He doesn’t get hit. He’s a dazzling fighter. He puts on shows. [Johnson is] the best ever. He’s the best, physically, ever.”

Johnson is currently competing with ONE Championship but has built a remarkable legacy at UFC.

The “Mighty Mouse” won the inaugural flyweight championship in 2012 and successfully defended it 11 times. But he lost the title to Henry Cejudo in 2018. Johnson has fought last time against Danny Kingad in 2019 and picked up an unanimous decision victory then.

Joe Rogan further claimed that the only thing that stops Johnson from being considered the GOAT was Jon Jones. “The only thing that keeps him from being thought of as universally the greatest of all time is Jon Jones,” he said.

“Jon Jones has been able to beat better guys. Jon Jones fights a better calibre of competition because the 205-pound weight class, at least at one point in time, had a deeper talent pool.”
