Another thread about a fighter who was afraid of competing in he UFC (and never did) IN the UFC section of threads. Cultish behavior.

Another shit answer from a hater but continue on so we can laugh.

Umm, 10 years undefeated reign at HW fighting the best guys in the business... at a frame that would currently fit into the MW division in the UFC.

Not to mention, never even being knocked down once in his prime.

 

[Greg House]

It's #4 for me after Jones, GSP and Anderson in terms of accomplishments. Although I always saw him as the "true GOAT" in the sense that I never bought this whole p4p bullshit. Rankings were created 20 years ago by athletic comissions to make fights competitive and to protect smaller fighters from the big fighters. But nobody protected Fedor from the big fighters because it was the big fighters that needed protection from Fedor.

Where does Izzy, Kumaru, Volk, and Nog factor in for you?

This is a good question. I was actually questioning whether Volk would crack the top 10 and surpass Hendo if he beats Islam. It’ll be very close, I’ll really have to look at it. If he beats Islam and successfully defends that belt, there’s no question he cracks my top 10. So I guess I’d say Volk is just outside that now—#11 or #12 maybe?

Izzy and Usman is hard to say, because I don’t ever really rank the best fighters of all time any further out than a top 10. I have Izzy as the #2 MW of all time, and Usman as the #2 WW of all time, so the best I can say is they are between #12 and #18 or so maybe, if I was to keep my ranking going.

Very nice top 10.

Thanks! I recently flipped Aldo and MM. Aldo was always my #5, but after MM won the ONE FLW title, I felt like he had edged Aldo out. But I feel weird about it tbh <45>

I would be curious how people would fill out their top 15-20. I would start a thread but Im expecting it to get shelved as a GOAT thread. So many accomplished fighters to compare and sort through beyond the typical top 5-6. Could be very interesting.
