So...if Holly wins, does that make her the GOAT? She'd have beaten the two women that were anointed that title. 

Idk, I mean she still lost the title right after winning it and then lost to Bullet and de Randamie for 3 in a row. Her beating those 2 would be like Eli beating Brady in the SB 2 times. You gotta give her credit for pulling off quite possibly the greatest upset in UFC history and then to beat the now GOAT is ultra impressive, but you also cant ignore the lower points since beating Rousey

I agree with everything pretty much except for the Women's fight

Why? They ignore Nunes 4 losses...

And it's not like Holly has ever been beaten soundly.

Gotta hold the belt to be goat.  Holms is top tier if she beats nunes but not goat. Have to win with the belt to be goat. The rousey win also loses a little luster when you realize rouseys coaches told here to walk right into holms teeth.
