Where do you rank The American Gangster at 185 all time?

Chael has solid wins against:

- Rampage Jackson
- Wanderlei Silva
- Shogun Rua
- Michael Bisping
- Brian Stann
- Nate Marquardt
- Yushin Okami
- Alexey Oleynik
- Paulo Filho

Ya should perhaps reconsider the Filho win... and include the Suloev one...

The Stiebling one is hard to assess tho...

He was better than many expected, unrelated to his trash talking skills (that he found later in his career).

He was #2 for quite some time at MW.

He can enter top 10-15 perhaps...
 
One of the greatest to ever do it.

Good athlete that just didn't have a lot of heart. His accomplishments in the division probably put him in the top 10-15 right now, but he'll eventually be a footnote. Really like his podcast, hope he finds a lot of success.

Chael ranks about 17 times higher than a normal man.
 
He has good wins and would probably have been a MW champ if Silva was not in the picture, and was the number 2 MW for a while. Reminds of of Jon Fitch and GSP but just not as many credentials. I'd say somewhere in the top 15 but that's off the top of my head without any actual analysis.
 
Really? P4P #1 MW ever. Chael holds belts in multiple weight classes including MW, LHW, and recently HW. I am surprised this is even a question.
 
Same place he ranks in all other weight classes above 185

#1 GOAT
 
Chael didn't beat Anderson?



That makes.... not a winner.
 
GOAT

wins over:
shogun
rampage
wanderlei

some of the best LHWs ever
