Starting to get sick of the UFC staff pushing Anderson as GOAT.

[THECYNDlCATE]

They call Anderson The Greatest of All Time,.. over and over,.. just trying to convince people of it. It's really starting to wear on me.

Seriously,.. lets be reasonable, He did not go 9 or 10 years without losing like Fedor.
So the stats are not in his favor.

I don't mind people debating it, or thinking that Anderson is the GOAT, that's fine. You can have valid opinions like that, but to state it as FACT, over and over and the company that writes all of the rules trying to do revisionist history, it's just flat out wrong.

I wish they would just say greatest UFC fighter of all time.

They might could even say greatest active fighter, like Nick implied at the weigh-ins. Even though you could argue that since Chris beat him twice.

I know some of you are going to lash out at me,.. and that's fine,.. but I felt like I had to vent this out on what I consider the best MMA forum (of all time).

Regardless of who you think is really the GOAT, What do you think about them cramming this down our throats and trying to re-write history?

Who cares what they say. Real fans know Fedor is the GOAT.

 

[FictionIsReal]

They have to push someone as the goat, Sadly GSP's fighting style is boring hence the reason why the UFC never bothered pushing him as the goat, Fedor didn't even fight for the company, and Jones is on his way there if he wins against rumble they'll probably start pushing him as the goat there.

it's all marketing and promotion my friend.

The UFC loves to hype their own, even it results in wiping out some of the non ufc greats from the history books.They're about business not the well being of MMA. It's the sheep that blankly repeat what they're told by the Ufc that are the problem.

 

[CJ86]

Boo hoo.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Knew this would somehow be about Fedor.

 

[Lemmy]

they promote their shit. it's normal.

 

[TheComebackKid]

Anderson has won 4 titles to Fedor's 1. He's had 13 title defenses to Fedor's 3. He has 17 top 10 wins to Fedor's 12.

On top of that he's performed better and had greater longevity.

Respect the GOAT Anderson Silva.

 

[Dontfight]

Just usual overhype, but if anyone deserves it - its Anderson.

 

[SilvaMoney]

How dare you leave Conor McGregor out of the discussion

 

[Furious George]

Phillip Miller retired undefeated. Fedor can't say that.

 

[AronaBeatsJones]

Anderson has won 4 titles to Fedor's 1. He's had 13 title defenses to Fedor's 3. He has 17 top 10 wins to Fedor's 12.

On top of that he's performed better and had greater longevity.

Respect the GOAT Anderson Silva.

 

[kphizzle]

Mohammed Ali wasnt the greatest boxer of all time because of his boxing skills he was the greatest because he called himself the greatest.... I give the spider his props hands down a great fighter but the goat? He lost a lot of credit when he played around and Weidman knocked him out its hard to say he's the best

 

[rafaquebras]

But he is the GOAT dude

 

[Mau]

You care too much.

 

[barehanded]

Don't know what the hell UFC staff is doing, but 2 best historical rankings sites both have Anderson Silva better than Fedor. Other sites with historical rankings also almost in all cases have Anderson Silva or GSP as GOAT. I know only one statistically based rankings site where Fedor is best, but their rankings are looking overall ridiculous. Fedor is best mostly in rankings based on personal opinion and impressions, and almost never in rankings based on statistics. Fedor had the quality to become undisputed GOAT, but they should give him more title fights in Pride and he should fight less fighters outside of top 10. When someone is champion, than only fights against best fighters makes sense.

Fedor don't give 2 fucks if you want to call yourself a goat.

 

[yekmurat]

Ohh yeah the real goat is conor in the sherdogland

 

[HelloJapan]

Get a grip. I bet you get highly inpatient while waiting in a lineup huh. Here's a couple of thoughts:

1) It's hype. Part of the business.
2) There is an argument among many that he is.

How dare they consider AS to be the greatest of all time.

 

[Rudeboyben84]

Anyone who has done the numbers statistically says GSP is better.

Fighters and fans say

1. Fedor
2. Anderson
3. GSP

Numberic Statistics say
1. GSP
2. Anderson
3. Fedor

Whatever way you want to look at it Anderson isnt the top p4p fighter ever but the top 3 are so close I dont think it a big deal to call him the GOAT, just a little disrespectfull to GSP. (they dont care about offending Fedor)
