Nick Diaz will be the only person to have fought GSP AND Anderson Silva.

The gsp Diaz fight was pathetic from both guys. Gsp was scared shitless to even stand with nick, and spent the entire 25 minutes smothering him on the ground, inflicting zero damage. And it seemed like nick was content to just sit there, or couldn't get up because gsp wasn't leaving any openings with his lame ass strategy.

gsp did stand with him though, people gave diaz shit because a lot of it WAS a standup fight (what he wanted) and he didnt do shit.

He's got nothing to prove against Mayhem. Already fought him for real.

That's Nick in the middle, between Melendez and Shields.
 
Randleman fought Bas, Couture, Liddell, Rampage, Cro Cop, Fedor, and Shogun. He's a top 5 too.

I don't think this compares... Silva and GSP are legitimately the 2 of the best ufc fighters of all time. randleman fought the best of his divisions history though
 
He holds wins over the two greatest LWs of all time.
 
so it doesn't matter if you actually win those fights?

so I guess heath herring is top 5 HW all time as well. fedor / crocop / big nog x3

Lol yeah because that's a real fight, having your brother and two training parters back you up against one guy as you cold **** him:icon_lol:.
 
Hendo almost fought Jones, Silva, and Fedor.

Vitor fought Jones and Silva, in their primes, and came dangerously close to finishing one of them in the 1st round.

Much more impressive IMO.

BJ has lost to Lyoto, GSP, and Frankie. And not just once. So he's right up there too.

You need to go back and watch that fight.
 
Nick takes tough fights (whether he deserves the big fights or not), there's no denying that. But his wins don't scream all time great status. His best wins are probably Robbie, Marius, Penn, and Daley.
Don't forget about Gomi..that was his greatest win.

It was officially overturned. (marijuana I know, but it's still not an official win)

Im not knocking the fight, but Marijuana does make you immune to pain, so.. yes it does give an advantage. Also makes you calm so you can be more methodical.
 
Top 5 what? You need to win some of those fights.

He did beat BJ... but it wasn't nearly Penn at his best, nor was it at Penn's best weight class, and Nick's style was always something that was going to give BJ some trouble.

In fact, Nick's just one of those guys who is going to be a stylistic nightmare for some very high level fighters, and who is going to have holes in his game that make him very beatable for other solid fighters.

If he beats Anderson, it's going to do a lot for his legacy, though. Regardless of where/when/how, he'll be able to say he not only beat Silva, but also outclassed Penn, and KO'd both Lawler, and Frank Shamrock.

Throw Gomi in there (which you should) and he's done some pretty impressive stuff.

Still not the same as being well rounded enough, like GSP and Fedor, or spectacular enough, like Anderson, or a bit of both, like Jon Jones, to beat all comers regardless of what they bring to the cage.

Good post, pretty much agree.
 
Yuji Nagata only fought all time greats like Cro Cop and Fedor Emilianenko. Definitely Top 10 GOAT material!
 
Might as well ask this now.

Are you multiple Unicorn Prince"s" ?????

Or just one misspelled Unicorn Princess ???
This question was so pertinent that it shook my entire foundation.
