Your Fighter´s GOAT...

Yes sherdog is a subset of MMA fans but also one of the most important one of the two or three largest MMA sites out there. you certainly should not be looking to the cooking channel chat site for MMA views.

One of the first places anyone should or would go to poll MMA fans on anything should be Sherdog and the other top MMA sites.

Also you can't just claim bias without providing evidence as to the direction the bias is pointing and there is no reason to believe it is more towards GSP than any other fighter and certainly not more than many other fighters combined. Biases always exist. There are tons of Brazilan fans who bring that bias. Tons of US who bring that bias. And lots (but likely a much smaller number) of Canadians who bring that bias. So the question is do all the different bias offset and normalize out in a poll like this and are the defining differentiators those people who vote really without bias? that is how most polls work and considering Fedor and Anderson have ranked higher to GSP in prior polls there literally would be no reason to believe it is any different now and that bias in not the determining factor. But happy to examine your evidence if you have some.

tl;tr

also, too poorly written to read. Yucks.
 
the latest poll is always the one that matters particularly when it involves arguably one of the biggest career legacy elements a fighter in contention has added to his resume.

GOAT is a dynamic moving thing that will always have the ability to change over time as new accomplishments are added.

If you are talking about the NFL GOAT and a team just won another SuperBowl this year it would be asinine to say we should not count that win and only look at their record prior. you will only get a view of who was perceived as GOAT prior and not now.

Now you could have a different discussion by asking who was the perceived GOAT in 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015 and other and then you can provide that static view data. But none of that has anything to do with who is perceived as GOAT today.

Pro fighters’ opinion > Canadians on Sherdog


Thought some might like a count as opposed to the jumbled mess.

Fedor: 37
Silva: 36
Jones: 29
GSP: 16
 
No top fighter said GSP, rightfully so, majority of his fanbase consist of women, canadians, and gays.


no surprise here.

Your GOAT Aldo didn’t get as many votes and the only ones he did is from Brazilians, hooligans and manlets

37 and 36 is a tie.

Fedor/Silva at the top. The GOAT has to be a true killer, not a point-scoring snooze machine.

How is 37 and 36 a tie ......geezus. I can accept that they believe Fedor, Anderson and JBJ are above GSP but seriously you can't even accept that they believe Fedor is GOAT?

Google "statistics". Mean, standard deviation, etc....

There is no unanimous criteria for GOAT so no one can be crowned undisputed GOAT.

Agree and slightly disagree.

yes GOAT is a completely subjective made up ranking that anyone is free to not engaging in discussion on.

That said we have GOAT's identified in many sports and in things like Movies or Rock bands etc. You can search in all those areas and find rankings and the ones that rise to the top are simply the ones that are recognized the most as GOAT. basically the voting is what matters.

that does not mean that any one individual could hold a differing view as they can and that is OK. But the topic of GOAT does not exist based on everyone's singular opinion. it only exists based on an aggregation of opinions and seeing what names rise to the top.

So for instance if you google Greatest Rock Band of All time, which I have not for a long time, you will find a band like Led Zeppelin at the top or in the top 3 of most lists. So even if one guy with an opinion hates Zeppelin and they cannot be GOAT, which is his right, that does not change the fact that Zeppelin belongs at the top of that list subjective of not.

Quite simply anyone can choose to not engage in GOAT talks and that is fine but if you do engage in the concept then the main criteria driving a conclusion HAS TO BE the aggregation of the most opinions possible since GOAT is solely a matter of opinion to begin with. He who is perceived by the most people to be GOAT wins that fictional contest.

Remember GOAT is a question asking 'who do you perceive to be the greatest?' And in that case most people saying X then Y on a topic of perception has to be the highest weighted factor where all else is basically equal.
