Like for mentioning the Ukrainian Sparkplug, a throwback KO Machine. I wish he got more attention and love on these forums for how and when he did it...
GSP is my favourite fighter and I do think he is the GOAT, but lol no.
I read your name as captain herps and now I'm sad it isn't.
easily lmao
whats a herp?
Fake news. The majority of fans scored 3-5 overwhelmingly for Colby, with the second being about a 50/50 split between a 10-9/10-8, so you are best case looking at a draw from the cumulative scoring. You are being desperate if you are saying this was clearly for for Usman. Your opinion is not absolute.
Exactly. If there was a 5'8 guy with a 68 inch reach that went undefeated for 38 straight fights while beating Ngannou, Gane, Glover, Izzy (the best fighters in the world at any weight), this forum would lose their mind. That is what Igor did tho, but many people do not realize it. He beat an undefeated prime Kerr, who was every bit as terrifying as Ngannou. If Igor fought today, had a modern nutritionist, he is a middleweight at best, very likely even smaller.Like for mentioning the Ukrainian Sparkplug, a throwback KO Machine.

MMA was still in the Pioneer wild Wild West days, Igor has multiple performances that resulted in 3 KO’s in a one day tournament, actually I think one tourney he had KO finishes by punches, knees, and a headbutt....LoL
They shouldn't count.
I'm a big fan of the 90s fighters, but let's be real--Igor's opponents were nothing like Ngannou, Gane, etc. He beat some big freak shows (Varelens, Fred Floyd, etc.) with very little skill, and he should've lost to Nick Nutter in his first fight. He never fought a technical striker during those 38 fights. I was watching NHB/MMA back then and wanted to see Igor fight a taller striker who knew how to use their reach/length and had good leg kicks. Bas Rutten, Mo Smith, Marco Ruas, etc. Even a prime Don Frye (circa 1997) would've been fun as Frye could fight standing, in the clinch or on the ground--and went wherever he had an advantage. But Igor beat guys no one ever heard of in small orgs and tournaments. He was a great fighter, but didn't get tested until later when he fought guys like Coleman, Kerr, etc.
Everyone has their own criteria and has to determine for themselves. For me, Jones has had so many PED failures that his whole career is practically an asterisk. And that’s a shame, because he has a stellar list of names on his resume.
Name checks out
You have a right to your opinion ….I’m of the opinion that a very very high percentage are/ were using shit …..so if jones is DQ from these discussions then 95% the fighters are as well …..Just because someone is fat and loves Popeyes chicken ….doesn’t mean they haven’t done anything…..or they might’ve got the good shit from the “ Canadian Olympic wrestling “ team they trained with hmmm ….
