Greatest of All Time update

[faustian]

Fedor pretty easily

Decision Dan? I don't think so. He is legendary, but should not be on this list.

Hendo is a top 10, if not top 5 GOAT in MMA.

Wins over:

Shogun
Fedor
Feijao
Sobral (twice)
Bisping
Franklin
Wanderlei
Belfort
Misaki
Bustamante (twice)
Gono
Ninja
Renzo
Big Nog
Newton


That's a lot of big wins over big named fighters. Hendo is an all-time great. Not the GOAT maybe, but he is pretty fuckin' far up there.

Hasnt changed at all it seems. Fedor by a huge margin, as it should be.

Also Silva a comfortable second. Jones pretty much not even in the running, again as it should be. Sherdog gets it right sometimes.

 

[georgwilhelm**]

but the title of GOAT(as in one person) belongs to GSP/Anderson/Fedor.

lol

where is BJJ phenom brendan schaub

 

[ValhallaShroom]

Fedor fought Mirko and Nog both at their prime,and both beaten at their own habitat. An example of the best at the golden era of mma.

 

[SuperLuigi]

I would put Aldo above Jones and Hendo.

 

[Thai Domi]

Fedor.

 

[takestwototango]

This is basically who is greater Fedor or Anderson? Since they have 83% of the votes.

 

[MMAGoatDotCom]

GSP... personally find him boring, but he has been most dominant over top contenders, bar none!

I think it's obvious who the majority thinks is the GOAT.

 

[CajunOutlaw]

Hendo's a weird case.

He was never overly dominant in any weight class, yet he was always able to beat some of the best fighters in those divisions.

Hendo really has fought a who's who in this sport, more than any other fighter.

Well, I can see a case for him being in the top 10 of all time, but he's definitely not number 1.

Although I still feel like any GOAT talk is premature for another 20 years or so to be honest.

Alright fair enough. I wouldn't put Hendo #1 either. He's very on or not on when it comes to big fights.

One outing he is besting Big Nog or Fedor, the next he is losing a UD to Shields.

dan doesn't even come close to belonging

 

[downthepines]

Fedor

 

[TLF Baby]

i picked GSP based on the fact he avenged his two losses and hasnt really been tested since with the exception of a few rounds and he probably wont lose again until he retires( but i hope he does)

 

[pjmman]

GSP all the way baby!

I think it's obvious who the majority thinks is the GOAT.

The majority of the US voting populace thought GW Bush was the answer in 2004 - thus proving that the majority isn't always correct.

 

[SnowBlynd]

Fedor is the best

Yeah, he's only got a victory over the guy that most people on Sherdog feel is the GOAT. And by the way, Dan had to drink water before stepping on the scales to MAKE HW for that fight FFS. I love how Fedor apologists point to Fedor not cutting weight as part of their argument for his GOAT status, without admitting that he lost to a fucking MW.

Fedor had a great five year run. But for the other half of his decade of going without a loss, he was fighting guys WAY outside the top 10.

And he lost three times in a row at a younger age than Anderson lost to Weidman FFS.

Dan isn't the GOAT. Neither is Fedor.
