[JPM1223]

"First guy to KO A GRACIE "

Waldemar Santana KTFO Helio.

& Jack Russel KO George in 1938

Arguably the GOAT win list, on paper. Even still,there's a lot more to being GOAT than win list. Hendo is an ATG, no doubt about that though.

But but I thought steroids negate any goat talk

Hendo potential top5 GOAT.

 

[UFC=Pride]

A legend for the epic ko of Bisping alone

 

[DuncanFan819]

Top 5, but not the best.

I'd have Fedor, Anderson, and Bones over him. Hendo would be on the next tier with GSP.

 

[Danespina]

What are the fights that best show Hendo's overall skill?

Not just the murder KO's (Bisping) and taking one to give one (Fedor, Shogun). Like the more traditional sense of a skilled mixed martial artist?

TRT Vitor > TRT Hendo

TRT Vitor vs Matrix Anderson should've happened.

 

[El Fernas]

Wasnt he Pride champion when he fought Silva? Thats the GOAT.

 

[Danespina]

TRT Vitor vs Matrix Anderson should've happened.

Was just one fight removed according to Vitor.

Hendo's a brawler/dirty boxer, with a granite chin, and 1-punch ko power. His wrestling pedigree looks really good on paper. But he was never a "skill" guy(to me anyway). That said, pretty much pick any of his signature wins...Wandy, Bisping, Fedor, Shogun, etc.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

In his prime was absolutely destroyed by Anderson. Also lost a competitive decision to rampage. Those two prime losses eliminate any greatest of all time talk.

Was just one fight removed according to Vitor.

TRT Vitor >

 

[Arne Rud]

One of them

 

[JayE]

He was never the best fighter in a division at any point and he lost throughout his career, so no, he's not even in the conversation. Great fighter with a resume that looks better on paper than it is in reality, but not a candidate for the greatest fighter in the very brief history of MMA.

 

[Ying Li]

TRT Vitor was his Kryptonite.

 

[Cold Front]

Not a chance. Hendo was great. He's a legend. But he's not the GOAT, because he never had a sustained run of smashing the shit out of anyone who went against him.
