Greatest of All Time update

[the ambush]

my current G.O.A.T. list (of those TS listed)
1. Fedor Emelianenko
2. Georges St. Pierre
3. Anderson Silva
4. Dan Henderson
5. Jon Jones

I swapped GSP from #3 to #2 with Silva after his last loss. Those two fighters are pretty interchangeable no matter how you slice it imho.

dan doesn't even come close to belonging

More deserving than Bones as of right now? I think so.

 

[ngn21]

Fedor

 

[supernova]

Fedorable.

LOL @ sneaking Hendo in there
Hughes and Big Nog deserve that spot far more than him

 

[kingJohn]

From that list, easily Silva, Cain will be by the time he retires though.

 

[GrindingANARCHY]

Fedor

Well, i guess everyone's entitled to their opinion. I don't think its easy to pick anyone at all, you would have to be extremely biased to say that.

 

[Dionysian]

Fedor on top and Anderson has 2nd on lock imo. To his credit GSP has a monster resume but lacks the dynamism I associate with the greatest a sport has ever seen.

Majority disagrees and think that you are a troll. Have you ever thought that you might be wrong?

Gun'n'run doesn't think, he posts the corporate talking points. He is a Zuffa PR guy and it is obvious. Literally %100 of posts are Zuffa PR posts. Real fans talk about things like what they think of fights, scoring criteria, what fights they want to see, who would win blah blah hypothetical fight, etc. He never does any of that. Just posts why Dana's latest move is always right, Fedor always sucks, blah blah blah. Most blatant Zuffa PR person posing as a poster on this site.

 

[Scheme]

1) GSP - better competition than Fedor
2) Fedor - unbeatable for years
3) Anderson - amazing finisher, would put him at #4 but he beat Hendo
4) Hendo (despite the BS decisions)

I think Cain is pound for pound the best fighter in the world. His fighting style is as complete as anybody out there. Solid kickboxing, great wrestling, and cardio for days. I think his kryptonite is JDS, and he destroyed him in the rematch. He has the skill to work anybody.

I picked Anderson. The Greats lose at some point. Look at Fedor...

 

[steliokontos]

It's hard to pick one in a sport so young...

Would anybody be interested in Silva V Fedor?

 

[HankScorpio]

Anderson there is no question. Anybody who thinks different is a TuF n00b.

Nah tuf noobs wouldn't vote for fedor, tuf noobs don't even know fedor.

 

[frye666]

They are all great, and all deserve some consideration for the top spot. But going undefeated at "heavyweight" for near ten years......... that HAS to be the greatest accomplishment.

 

[reggieweezy]

Seriously Fedor is winning this poll? I'm no Zuffa fan boy, but you gotta at least have fought in the UFC to be considered the GOAT

 

[reggieweezy]

That fight would be bad ass!!! I have Silva winning by KO

 

[ironfist05]

errrrmmmm a TUF noob would not vote for fedor

 

[TheComebackKid]

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.

Don't forget about:

Pride MW Champion
Pride WW Champion
Pride WW GP Champion
UFC 17 MW Champion
Strikeforce LHW Champion
Rings Tournament Champion

You're doing it wrong, TuF n00b.
