Being honest and unbiased, how many of these are good wins?

[Shay Brennan]

The sonnen fight was of course different. He almost lost that one

Yes. But thanks to that he has the best hail mary submission in ufc history.

 

[drbolony]

I have a bridge to sell you

No thanks, Anderson's legacy already fell off it.

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

He woulda been GOAT if he didn't duck GSP

 

[loisestrad]

What is the difference between a good win and a bad win?

Good win is good, bad win is bad.

 

[Travis Alexander]

TS is a cancerous troll likely on his 3rd or 4th acc on here. Shit post after shit post. It’s probably better to not even engage but guess he got me...

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

No thanks, Anderson's legacy already fell off it.

If it was the other way around and GSP popped and Anderson didn't I wonder if his stance would be the same

 

[burningspear]

He's the GOAT, its not just about winning but the style and panache of those wins. Some guys are just so far ahead of the game you know they are special.

Hendo win stacks up with any win ever. Dan came over as 2-div Pride champ. Vitor was peaking, even without TRT. Started peaking in Cage Rage and Affliction, then came to the UFC and blitzed Franklin, so the win ranks high, and how Silva did it.

Sonnen was his toughest fight and match-up after Weidman, in hindsight. UFC MW lacked BJJ guys when Sonnen was peaking, just Maia, so it was free top game domination against almost everyone for him. I think that Shael beats both Hendo and Vitor as well.

Rich, Okami, Nate a bit lower, but still good. I'd put Forrest close to those, also cuz 205.

Last notable could be Maia, but I think Maia had a short period at WW where he used his size to go for TD's right from the bell. Was more vulnerable standing and had weaker TD's at MW.

If it’s a title fight then it’s probably a good win. 185 may have been a little weak for most of Silva’s reign but anybody fighting for the belt is really good.

It’s naive to think that champs consistently fight historically great fighters every time. That’s a rarity even at the very top of the sport

Silva’s obvious PED use is a different topic.

 

[theincognito]

Griffin, Marquardt, Sonnen, Franklin and Okami were great wins too

 

[MartinGibson86]

Marqyardt ko'd mai and woodley

 

[TempleoftheDog]

PEDs or not, it is an awesome reign and he made it look easy.

You can’t just say peds or not. That’s fucking stupid.

 

[blaccbeard]

keep in mind anderson is a juice head so the hendo and maia wins should be revoked

Here you are just yesterday making a thread slobbing off Fury who also failed steroid tests:

So you're a fan of Fury and can obviously choose to ignore him being a "juice head", but you choose to slander Anderson for the same shit Fury is guilty of.

I wonder why, hmmmm

Ohh rightt, cause Hendo wasn't on like a fuckload of TRT himself

And Kampmann, who gave Shields his tittle shot vs GSP after a controversial decision.
Also Palhares, WSOF WW champ finishing Fitch and Shields.

 

[OverhandRightKayo]

Anderson Silva’s UFC records:
-Longest win streak (16)
-longest title reign (2457 days)
-most title defenses finishes (8)
-most knockdowns in title fights (11)
-most knockdowns in UFC history (18)
-10 title defenses (should be #1 with 11)
-3 1st round LHW KOs

Silva is the UFC GOAT and it’s not close

Stiffen him baby.
