Mt. Rushmore

Conor carved into Dana's chest ala Total Recall..

This might be old, but its timeless in my opinion. I laugh every time I look at it.danaconor.jpg
 
Interesting choices. Is this sarcasm?
Unusual choices but I could see a case for them
No it's not sarcasm. I don't feel that Mt.Rushmore isn't really about who was the "best".

Shamrock represents the NHB days of MMA.

Liddell because

Need I say more.

Uriah represents the lower weight classes.

Ronda represents WMMA.

Dang good defense of your picks and you found a way to include Ken Shamrock which makes you my new favorite sherdogger.
 
Nice work. Yes, now that I see it, that's definitely the four.
That’s why I picked them. Because like it or not, the UFC would not be where it is without these four men.

Now that I think about it, not to be contrary, perhaps a better case could be made for Frank Shamrock. With the teaming up with Maurice Smith, he may very well be the father of modern mixed martial arts. At least the first one with such a high profile. He was a grappling specialist and Maurice Smith was a kickboxer specialist and they joined forces to specifically learn one another's craft. I believe that represents the beginning of fighters not being identified by one specific art.

I picked Ken because he is more recognizable and had crossover success in the WWF
 
If we’re limiting it to just UFC fighters, then:

1- Royce
2- Chuck
3- Tito
4- Anderson

I go back and forth with this but I’ve realized that you can’t put the modern day trailblazers because that’s not what the Mt. Rushmore is about. It’s about the forefathers and so it should consist of the ones who built it from the ground up.

Royce started the fire.

Chuck and Tito fed the wood into that fire.

Anderson added the wizardry that made that fire eternal.

That’s respectable. Anderson came along after TUF brought in a bunch of fans. He’s very familiar to those fans.

What about Machida?

Sorry but Machida doesn’t make the cut. Plenty of worthy candidates in line before the Dragon like Penn, Hughes, Georges...

wise post. I hadn't thought of it that way, but you're exactly right.
