Media Daniel Cormier being horrible on ESPN

[Question]

There's really no definitive list here, honestly having a "top five fighters of all time" list doesn't make a lot of sense since you're mixing in athletes from two different sports.
Mixing in women's combat sports is another tricky thing too, mainly because women and men will never face each other in these sports when it comes to the highest level. The UFC even split the P4P rankings to help get more clarity on this.

That being said, how the hell is Ali under Khabib?
I get Khabib is DC's boy but that's a really bad take.

I mean, no matter what he said he would get flamed...

This. The hate was coming regardless of who he put or left out.

Khabib at no 2 ahead of Muhammad Ali? Khabib isn’t even in the top 5 all time for MMA.

 

[Shaddows]

This might be the worst top 5 fighter list of all-time.



No Sugar Ray Robinson, no Anderson Silva, no Fedor, or Jon Jones... DC might be a n00b when it comes to combat sports history.

I think it is the wrong list.
But I do understand his explanation...

I disagree, but it's HIS opinion.

Here's the video:

Nunes could have beaten them all in a fighting match.

Yeah, DC takes way too much shit from fans and fighters, and he actually gets a lot of misdirected criticism for bad commentary that people are afraid to direct at Rogan (EG Jan after the Izzy fight).

Khabib not even top 10 in UFC for me.

Rafael Dos Anjos, Al Ianquinta, Barboza, Tavares, Tibau, Trujillo are laughworthy competition?

That is insanely stupid.

 

[kingghidrah]

I don't see many people posting their own top 5. Just saying why his is bad.

It's a tough thing to do. DC's list isn't horrible. It suffers from trying to mix multiple sports, of course he has his bff Khabib up there too above Ali which really looks weird. Amanda Nunes? In the great 10 year history of WMMA? lol

But it's a tough list to make. He might not include those who popped for PEDs is why Anderson Silva and Jon Jones don't make the list while GSP does.

As a wrestler you'd think he'd put wrestlers like Karelin in, but maybe wrestlers aren't "fighters" to him. The goal of the sport isn't to hurt your opponent, as it is in boxing and mma.

 

[Strijfy]

Also why not Conor, he's still ranked so why not.

you have to be trolling

 

[PabloMEX]

If I were DC I would have put myself as number 1 just to get you all even more riled up.

El Soldado de Dios approves of DC on First Take and looks forward to more top 5 lists combining different sports and eras!

fuck me that was hard to watch...cheers for posting though

Yes, but not to put him in a goat conversation, especialy not as the best one ever.

Why would he have roid cheats on there? Jones and Anderson shouldn't be on the list. But the list was horrible,

 

[Jose Beehive]

Michel Pereira, CM Punk, Kevin Lee, Lobov, Roxanne Modafferi.

 

[TheComputerGuy]

He also said Floyd was 49-0 but he's 50-0. Doesn't even know his own list

Or he knows more then you, and doesn't count Conor as a real fight.

 

[ryanrandy]

He is exaggerating but it isnt elite A level competition thats for sure.

 

[ryanrandy]

To have Floyd over guys like Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson and Joe Louis is embarrassing.

 

[filthynumber1]

Impossible to blend boxing and MMA in all time rankings it's like saying Tom Brady is better Micheal Jordan lol

True story
Ridiculous list ridiculous comparisons

And wtf is nunes doing on there after losing to soccer mom pena

 

[The Last King]

DC the biggest shill ever. Who would have expected this?
