Islam Makhachev's 16 fight winstreak are more umpressive then Anderson Silva's

[GOATRankings]

Islam just did what many thought impossible, and stands now equal with Anderson Silva. But not only that, the oppostion he faced does not compare.

Ends Oliveira's reign and winstreak
Ends Volk's huge winstreak, never been the same since
Ends JDM 10 year undefeated winstreak
His 16th win is a double champ fight and dominates 50-45.

Wonder where our model will put Islam in the GOAT rankings, running it now!

Nothing but respect, and history is still beeing written!

 

[KavkazDominance]

He knocked out FW champ, submitted LW champ and dominated WW champ lmao

Both are impressive, but Anderson's run was more memorable because of his style.

 

[infinite666]

you would be correct also silva has double digit losses

 

[Mammothman]

His accolades are INSANE

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Goat shit.

 

[Subline]

The names on his resume are definitely better, but Silva's streak was more spectacular and brought more eyes to the sport.

 

[Staph infection]

Silva had some weak competition back then. Remember when Leben said he was going to welcome Silva to the UFC and then he got embarrassed.

 

[JustOnce]

Not really fair to compare Islam to a roider..

 

[USA!USA!]

umpressive ???​

 

[Angelassassin53]

Ehhh

As far as his opponents accolades go, yeah, Islam is beating more accomplished guys. Id agree with that

But Silva had ***aura*** that just cannot be matched or surpassed, not the way Islam fights. Even Khabib only had it due to being undefeated.

Islam is mostly boring, Anderson fights were must see TV. As for their level of competition, it’s pretty similar.

Jon Jones has had the real record by far for a decade so who cares who's in the very distant 2nd.

You are right about his style, but besides this fight where he could not lock in a finish, Islam had very entertaining fights, Volk 1, Poirier, and devastating early finishes too with Moicano, Volk2, Oliveira...
Silva could also have been a double champ at his prime no doubt

 

[UppercutFromHades]

Spider is a a fave of mine, but Islam is better p4p. #GOAT.

umpressive ???​

Sorry

Leben was top 5 at the time.

Which is better than anybody Islam beat to earn any of his title fights.

Recency bias. People are so quick and eager to get fighters like Anderson Silva out of here - it's insane. We have to have more reverence for our legends, if we want people to take this sport seriously. Fans of other sports defend their legends to the death, to the point where you have to have accomplished like double what they did to be considered greater. With MMA fans, you can have less than half the numbers-- like in this case, and people will already say you're greater. I don't get it.

Both are impressive, but Anderson's run was more memorable because of his style.

Hendo, Franklin, & Maia are legends too. His run is definitely more impressive

 

[MrBlackheart]

I wonder if Islam will showboat and gets embarrassingly KOed like Anderson did going for 17.
