I made it clear that showing decent BJJ against someone who has no BJJ like rampage doesn't impress me. Rashad Evans manhandled Rampage on the ground. Wasn't even close. Hendo didn't had that kind of success at all.

You didn't answer the questions. Stop trying to redirect. You're wrong about Shields anyway. The longest streak GSP broke was Fitch at 16(?), with 8 of his wins being in the UFC. Shields started 1-2 in the UFC, so he's not the greatest example even though he had a nice streak prior to the big leagues.
Did you know that both Hardy* and Shields were FINISHED in their very next fights following their fights with GSP? Odd, isn't it?

Funny how you correct me on GSP’s biggest streak but fail to answer what was Anderson’s. I’ll ask AGAIN. What was the biggest streak Anderson broke when he was MW champion?

Being entertaining, and being effective at securing victory based on the rules and regulations provided are two different things.
Ive always said I don’t think we have a goat. We have goat’s based on how you choose to decide who is the best fighter. Peds? Finishes? Consistency? Entire career or “prime”. We can twist it in 50 different directions. The correct answer is that there is no answer.
Bravo you named all 4 of his opponents that aren't one dimensional. Hbomb hendo is pretty damn one dimensional though. Griffin has multiple very average dimensions. Is marquardt a good wrestler or BJJer no idea. He never shows it.
My assessment is that it was nothing spectacular at all. Hendo has no BJJ and it shows. And that fight and the next one was the last time he ever used his ever devolving wrestling. After that it was basically a puncher's chance or he loses.
Now your turn. Tell me how good Hendo's wrestling is.
ahhhhhh... finally!?! You sure made poor Gono work to get that holy answer, mate...
Anyway, you didnt really consider my question, was indeed about the Rampage fight, specifically...
The Rampage fight was not 10 fights b4 or after the Spider one, was right b4, 5 months b4., and this indeed justifies its relevancy.
Long gone were the days when Frank would submit Hendo under 1mn, at the beginnin´of his career:
Even then, and even though we were in the 1990s, Hendo was already workin´on his well-roundedness, his groundgame in particular.
See him here tryin´to catch Goes, and with a kneebar, no less...:
The good old fashioned eye test. EYESADA. 18 years of fighting and this one pic from 2005 is the go to.
Cue the breathing pics that indicate HGH gut that vanishes moments later.
Silva. Just by virtue of the insane ways he won those fights. He was like a video game in human form. GSP and Jones have great runs too, but Anderson’s streak was truly incredible.
