And Khabib retired at 31.......
Both guys are in their mid 40's still competing with young hungrier lions. Fedor in mma, Anderson not only in mma but in boxing as well. THey never took safe fights. They never said no regardless of the risk based on name of the opponent. They didnt wait 4 years to cherry pick a 40 year old guy with one eye and a foot out the door. They have given us courageous performances and in Fedors case, amazing wins against big names.
Anderson just went into boxing and handily beat a guy 12 years younger than him who was a former world champ.
Bones is the greatest talent but his story is complicated with peds and out of the cage bs. He may be the greatest of them all when its all said and done, but right now I just dont see how anyone would choose Aldo, Cejudo or a guy like gsp who fought the weakest competition out of any long term champ, never finished a fight and ducked two divisions while retiring at 29.
if you dont respect Anderson and Fedor there is something seriously wrong with you. I would love to see what some of you will be doing at 46 years old. These guys are fighting killers and winning.
How do you not respect Aldo? Aldo is fighting and beating the best in MMA.Both guys are in their mid 40's still competing with young hungrier lions.

Especially if he pulls the title at 135. Aldo never took easy fights or cherry picked fights. Glad for Fedor to get this win but he put himself in positions in that fight with Johnson that were extremely dangerous. It was a great finish but I think there are others with better resumes and are still fighting top guys. Dont get me wrong Fedor is one of the best HWs there is but there are others that are above him as the greatest ever.How do you not respect Aldo? Aldo is fighting and beating the best in MMA.
Coherent argument like yours?Completely irrelevant to the GOAT discussion.
Fedor fought dozens of cans and even non-fighters as well as people two weight classes below.
Empty rhetoric entirely irrelevant to the matter at hand.
It makes me wonder why Fedor's admirers could never come up with a coherent argument. It's always either pure emotion or just blatant lies.
Fedor fought dozens of cans and even non-fighters as well as people two weight classes below.
Silva didn’t lose multiple times in his prime?Fedor lost multiple times in his prime, one of those losses being to an old middleweight
Jones and Silva are 1.a 1.b
To say Fedor is greater than either of them is pure trolling and foolishness
At the very least, he's in the discussion.Demetrious Johnson probably has a better case than either of these guys as well, in my opinion.
Lol @ there's no discussion, particularly when it comes to Anderson Silva.
Only a thought experiment/hypothetical in a way, but if prime Anderson Silva was a 155er, there are numerous fighters who'd be *heavily* favored over him, be it Khabib, Tsarukyan, Makhachev or Gamrot.
