All Time GOAT poll

It is so hard to pick just one. However, He is definitely in the top three, and I wouldn't have a problem with anyone arguing that he is. I have said it myself before. It is just so hard to pick one with so much greatness and so many different elements to combat sports, and specifically, MMA. Dude is a fucking boss, though.
 
No and if it wasn’t for the fight yesterday (Which shouldn’t be relevant for MMA goat status anyway) you wouldnt start this thread.
 
it all depends if you think PED's are a disqualifying factor. If you do not find PED's a qualifying factor, then Jones and Andy are GOAT's. If you do, then GSP or Fedor.
 
He's 1 of them and in his prime I cant think of anyone else i was more excited to watch fight.As far as last night,Tito looked so bad that it looked like he threw the fight.
 
If you include PED cheat how can you not put Jones at number 1?

Because Silva didnt run over pregnant women and fled from the crime scene, and then come back again to grab his stash, and then run away again.
 
Fedor is the greatest.

But Anderson is the brightest. His aura was not only of invincibility, but also of magic. We all knew we were about to watch something special everytime he entered the octagon. He made us believe the Matrix is real.
 
No but he is definitely up there. He is the MW GOAT and he's taken out LHW's with ease on short notice, one of which was a former UFC champ in Forrest. He also put up a good fight against Izzy despite being like 43 years old.
But he is also a confirmed PED cheat which hurts his career.
 
MMA is about entertainment and Silva had the most entertainment wins imo, so I would say yes. If you want to judge by career achievments Jones is ahead
 
If you include PED cheat how can you not put Jones at number 1? His resume is far better than silva and he's one of if not the most well rounded fighter to ever compete in MMA.
Silva stayed at the top for longer than Jon, has more title defenses in a row, finished almost all his title fights, popped for roids long after his prime, popped once, Jon popped multiple times, Silva moved up in weight while Jon refuses. Jon consistenly cheated in his fights.
 
"Greatest" is a complicated description that means different things to everyone. It doesn't necessarily mean GOAT, most exciting, or most famous. He is definitely at or near the top on all areas so I won't argue against it. While Fedor may beat him as GOAT, many people have never seen "Prime" Fedor fight while almost all modern area MMA fans have seen Silva demolish opponents. Jones and Aldo also compete on the GOAT competition, but neither has as many fans as Silva.
