Is moose the #2 mw all time?

[bjpenngoat]

I think most would put Chris #2 but if you look at the body of work gegard has to be pretty close if not higher than Weidman all time based on sheer volume of wins against legit comp and some very high level wins as well.

 

[THE BMF]

No

Do you have statistics? Is Chris considered the #2?

 

[TheSpider]

Dan Henderson or Rich Franklin

I’m not sure most would put Weidman at 2.
Costa vs Moose would’ve been fun.
Tough to pick for myself in that matchup.

I'd put Mousasi ahead of Chris, considering he beat him..

Spoiler

 

[Simple Southerner]

Nah

 

[pankrat]

Dan Henderson or Rich Franklin

Rich Franklin? lol Americans
Respect to him but nobody outside of USA would place him even top 10 of all time, rightfully so.

 

[Summoning]

No.

He is the 1#

post-prime Lyoto Machida beat prime Moose
Does that make Machida the #1 MW?

If that's your whole arument....weak

28 significant strikes out of 35 total strikes landed by Machida
36 significant strikes out of 66 total strikes landed by Mousasi

About Machida being past his prime...not under USADA and with a chisseled body in his mid 30s....weak

Deer is better tasting.

Not a fucking chance. In prime years, he lost to Hall, Jacare, and Machida (who sucked/s at MW). I'd expect the #2 MW of all time to dust those guys.

 

[NaughtyBoy]

Dan Henderson or Rich Franklin

Lol no.

I don't know about Machida "sucking" at MW. He gave Weidman a great fight right after he beat Mousasi. Machida lost to some great fighters at MW, and then just got old.

Anyway, every MW except Silva has blemishes during their prime.

All I know is Chris certainly isn't number 2. He hasn't put in enough work.

 

[Ravelife]

Chris turned out to be a bit of a dud after 4 fights against old Brazilians.

Moose is for sure top 5 of all time MW tho.

 

[No Skill Gap]

Anderson Silva is #1 obviously, so let's get that out of the way.

Now we are talking: Lyoto Machida, Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson, Chris Weidman, Luke Rockhold, Yoel Romero, Izzy Adensanya, Vitor I guess, Evan Tanner not really, etc.

Not too many stud names, but I don't think you can definitively call Mousasi better than any of those guys, so no. Ultimately when you never when a UFC belt in your division, win a Bellator belt only defend it once and lose it, while beating a lot of washed up names in the UFC on top of it...

No.

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

LMFAO Mousasi fans are brain dead.
