All Time GOAT poll

[Epicman1324]

This thread needs a relaunch with a new poll. The Jones debacles, emergence of Khabib, and sustained success of Aldo would change the voting at least a solid degree.

Agreed

 

[balkanbomber85]

the thread does not need any change, maybe in 1-2 years they need to add Kamaru on the list, all other actual champs or champs from up to 5 years back are not worth to be on this list"

phuck recent and religious bias!

 

[Holy Matrimony]

Rickson by armbar?

 

[Tevfik1907]

Lot's of respected names consider Khabib one of the GOATs.

Just sayin.

I agree.

phuck recent and religious bias!

If there's any religious bias here I wonder who has that. All the people in those videos above are not sharing the same religion with Khabib.

Fedor is above Jon Jones as i think (i need to check) he had more finishes, where as Jon has had quite a few decisions.

Fedor has had more finishes than Jones has fights (literally, not an exaggeration).
Fedor has:
40 wins
31 of which are finishes
Of those 31, 28 were 1st round finishes.

Jones has 28 fights total, 16 finishes.

 

[BFoe]

Fedor has more TKO losses than the amount of the rounds that Khabib lost in his entire career, this is not exaggeration as well.

So this kind of things shouldn't prove anything on who is better.

I don’t use it to rank who is better. I was just answering another poster’s question because they said they needed to look it up, whereas I knew the answer off the top of my head.

Fedor’s resume and accomplishments dwarf Khabib’s, that shouldn’t even be a question.

 

[SupremeGuy]

They both have 3 title defences.

I like Fedor though. I think him and Khabib are at the top of GOAT discussion for dominance. They have had similar careers though in terms of beating a lot of cans and also some of the best in their divisions.

It is true Fedor fought bigger men though, but just like Cormier he had an easy time with them because HW's in general are extremely one dimensional.

You'll notice in Fedor's career the guys who gave him the most problems were smaller like Arona and Henderson.

Brah, really? Prime Fedor beats them. C'mon. You're being silly.

 

[Cowboy Kurt Angle]

Here’s why the goat discussion is flawed.

DJ lightest division

Cruz too small

Aldo has lost a lot

Khabib only 3 defences

GSP wasn’t undefeated

Anderson Silva had a bad losing streak at the end of his career

Jon Jones failed drug test, personal issues

Fedor bad losing streak after losing to Werdum

You can't go wrong with GSP, Jones or Fedor. These 3 are damn nearly invincible in their prime. GSP was a beast. Fedor was a beast. and Jones was a beast. I also felt like they were innovators and ahead of the competition by quite a bit in their primes.

Can a moderator put Wanderlei Silva in the people to pick from for this thread to see how people vote with him in the line up?

He would get one vote, yours.

You were not even a fan of the sport when he was dominating it. Do you still wear your tap out t shirt? lol

When Wand was dominating it, Shogun was even better and more dominant.

 

[roper saxon]

the ufc hall of fame will have no meaning until Marco Ruas is put in there..................

 

[Chrissan]

Where is Khabib ?

 

[Can’t Handle My Riddum]

Where is Khabib ?

He's spending the latter part of his prime eating tiramisu and coaching.

Shogun was doing this thing but Wanderlei was dominating with the belt
