This should be a rule.
If you get gogo'd at any point in your career you are NOT allowed to be the G.O.A.T.

Penn has only one loss at LW but so does Aoki. Records aside, Penn is better all around (unlike Aoki he can actually box).

As of right now I guess Penn is the "GOAT" at LW but Gomi, Aoki and Alvarez aren't far away. Heck, IMO, Penn is no GSP, Silva, Fedor of his weightclass, not yet. Call me crazy, but I think Sanchez has a good shot at beating him.
