Sure. Anthony Johnson and Chuck Liddell are both KO artists with wrestling backgrounds. That doesn't mean they're the same.
Shogun shouldn't be ranked higher. He is an objectively worse fighter. Take bias and nostalgia out of it and you're left with skill. Nothing more, nothing less.
There is no bias or nostalgia. Shogun was a Pride GP winner, a UFC champion, and was regarded as the #1 LHW for years. His accomplishments far outweigh anything Gustafsson has done in MMA, which is why Shogun will always be ranked higher than him.
Just a question. Do you have Ngannou ranked higher than Overeem on an all time list? Ngannou is surely more skilled since he beat Overeem in a fight, right?
