I see a lot of disputes about who is the GOAT of MMA. And a lot of people are saying Conor which makes me wonder what MMA fans think makes a fighter great.
On the one hand, you have fighters that have tremendous success but carefully control who they face and approach the sport like a business and don't even care about defending the belt. They see MMA as a game of statistical probability of winning and have tremendous success. They are constantly looking for money fights.
Then you have fighters that are willing to fight anybody at anytime but have a significant number of losses as a result (Bj penn, shogun, Anderson and more) however have proven to be tremendous fighters in their prime.
So, what do MMA fans value more? A Fighter that fights anybody or a fighter that approaches the sport like a game of chess?
