Greatest of All Time update

I choose GSP by a whisker over silva mainly because anderson has looked more vaunrable then GSP.
If Bj penn wins feather weight gold I will say he is goat
 
Vitor Belfort, who's fighting for the MW title in 2014, Hayato Sakurai who was labelled the number one P4P fighter at the time Anderson beat him. Dan Henderson, who KO'd Fedor. Rich Franklin, Chael Sonnen. Nate Marquardt was also great at the time.

Good wins. Fedor's were too. I don't think either list definitively beats the other's.

I give the nod to Fedor because of his size in a larger weight class, the variety of skills he applied in the ring, his demeanor and professionalism (Silva v Maia comes to mind here), and his incredible run of (effectively) 31-0.
 
Fedor was the most complete fighter MMA has seen. He dominated in Pride because he wasn't just faster and more viciously powerful than everyone he fought, but because he could finish a fight anywhere and with his chin, sambo, speed and strength was safe everywhere. There was nothing he couldn't use to win a fight and there was no clear way to be a threat to him. That's why he's my GOAT over Anderson.
 
I love how mad people get when discussing the OPINION of who the GOAT is. That said, it's Fedor, and if you disagree than you're all wrong and I hate you!

No way. BJ is the LWGOAT, and nothing more. BY FAR, the best at LW. However, and people are gonna say "but but but he fought at LHW and stuff!!!" Yeah, he did...but lost. He won once at WW...granted it was for the title, but it's still only one win. IMO, BJ is the GOAT in one weight class. Now, it WOULD be cool if he beats Frankie, but I don't see it happening
 
Dan Henderson? Dafuq?

Whats the problem with that?

If you talk p4p greatest, it must surely be him.
Who else has fought in as many divisions, had so much succes in them, had such a long career, and was even a multiple division champ at the same time?

But if we talk greatest mma artist of all time, my vote goes to Emelianenko. He did some crazy shit!
 
Fucking lol at Hendo being on this. Get a grip.
 
its awesome to see Fedor recognized as the GOAT. Honestly im so surprised by this because of how much bullshit hate he gets on this forum because dana white bad mouthed him. Fedor is not only the greatest ever he is the greatest ambassador to the sport and represented himself and his country with dignity and honor above all else.
 
Fedor because he went unbeaten for 10 years and beat Cro Cop and Nog in there prime.
 
Fedor.

Fought bigger dudes. Didn't cut weight a division down and instead wanted HW. That streak. Universally respected by the fighters. That mystique. That aggression and intensity and well-roundedness.

His only knock is his shitty management team but Anderson was no stranger to silliness outside (and inside) the cage, either.
