Greatest of All Time update

[KJE416]

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

During his reign the best compeition was in pride. The ufc had uhh tim sylvia or arlovski? Coture for a little while. So why would fighting in the ufc make a diffefence?

Not even close Fedor.

 

[GDI]

I voted Fedor. My GOAT list, which is really my favorite list is as follows.

1. Fedor
2. Anderson
3. GSP
---- ---- note there is a pretty big drop from 3 to 4
4. Big Nog
5. Randy Couture
6. BJ (outside the top 5, so sad)
7. Matt Hughes
8. Hendo
9. Wandy
10. Bas Rutten

Honorable Mentions: Sakuraba, Igor V., Frank Shamrock, Shogun, and Frankie

Not that anyone asked. Sure I will get flamed for several reasons.

 

[Scuba]

Fedor

 

[Kanster]

Henderson has too many controversial 'wins' for me to ever consider him to be the GOAT. He's definitely in my top five though.

Fedor
Silva
GSP
Nog
Hendo

1/2/3 is split between Fedor/Anderson/GSP, ordered by whoever you like more.
4/5/6 is split between Hughes/Nog/Hendo, ordered by whoever you like more.

Nobody else is close.

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

Actually, Al Gore had the popular vote. But due to the winner-takes-all system the US government has, Bush won.

So, what's your take on that. That's not even considering the other controversies in the election.

Not to mention the US election system doesn't work anything like a simple poll like this.

Silly comment.

It's been a while since we had a GOAT poll, and I am curious to see how recent events, such as Silva's loss and Jones' war with Gustafsson affect Sherdog's opinion.

Vote away!

lol at Dan Henderson

 

[SlomiGa]

Fedor.

 

[MCS]

Fedor, and because of him Nog isn't an option in these polls. Can't say that for other divisions except WW.

So far I haven't seen anybody better than Fedor. I wasn't suprised to see him still leading.

So far I haven't seen anybody better than Fedor. I wasn't suprised to see him still leading.

Until his last fight i thought Jon was on his way to a similar kind of unbeatable aura. And after Silva beat Okami, the way he beat him, i thought he was close to it too. But so far no one else has quite reached that height in MMA.

It was technically Bush-Gore in 2000 and Bush-Kerry in 2004. But really, who cares?

I agree, political comments should stay in the war room.

 

[HydralisK]

Silva would beat Fedor in open weight now or 5 years ago. The bias is strong here.

 

[servel20]

See, this is what I meant. No way in hell is that a real opinion, based on an open-minded evaluation. It's just Fedor love, all over your face, down your chin.

Not only is Anderson a better fighter but he'd destroy Fedor if they fought in their primes, despite any size difference.

LOL 8D

You really think 6ft 2in 185 "middleweight" Anderson Silva would have any chance vs. A 5ft 11.5in 225lbs heavyweight destroyer prime Fedor?

You my friend are out of your mind, Fedor would take down Anderson and put a beating on him worse than he did Mark Coleman.

 

[Shogun Rising]

Best run is Fedor.

Best resume is Jon Jones followed by GSP.

I give it to Fedor because he was fighting bigger men and because he looked invincible, at HW, and in vicious Pride no less, for a decade.
