[Black Blood]

GSP, Hughes

 

[Laheys'Liquorland]

Might Mouse is the only answer.

Your opinion on decisions you don't agree with isn't a fact. Do you really need that explained to you? Lol Silva fans

Your troll juice is dissipating, homie.

5>4 is not an opinion, nor is it open for debate. This is a fact.

You're arguing something I'm not even arguing. Not surprising. You have no clue what's going on lol

Explain the "should be" comments from your original post. Maybe we can get to the same topic together if I hold your hand through the conversation.

Ohhhhhhh. That's what made you exaggerate the gap? My inclusion of "should be"?

Do you need the "should be" explained to you?

Can you guess?

Do you believe the "should be" (in parentheses) were attempted to be passed off as the official numbers?

Lol. You fuckin fanatical kids, man. Classic!

Lol wrecked. You can't even answer because you realize you're "fact" is just your opinion and it took me holding your hand through the conversation to get it.

You poor deluded, insane Silva fans are so disconnected from reality.

So....you don't know? Do you really need it explained to you? It's ok if you do. Just say so, little buddy. I know you're not very knowledgeable, even though one was already mentioned.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

WW for sure has the largest gap.

I don't need you to explain your idiocy, fella. Let us know when you learn what a fact is lol

Ok, good. So you know?

Let me know when you stop trying to patty cake facts.

5 > 4 - fact.

You're the one that tried to tell me for 7 consecutive posts that your opinion from that exact post was a fact lol

There there, little fella. There there. It must be tough being you 24/7

 

[Masturbin]

He has an extremely close, split decision loss to DJ. He was a force to be reckoned with in his prime. The guy getting KO'd by Deivson wasn't exactly peak Benavidez.

True but the guy is the textbook definition of the guy not good enough to be champ.

Your troll juice is dried up, girl.

Honestly most divisions get more exciting when there aren’t long reigning champions.

Weidmen era MW was probably when the division was at its best in terms of talent.

Rory’s title era while brief had some of the best moments in the divisions history.

BW when Cruz vacated to his return to his dethroning was probably one of the best eras in UFC just in terms of talent and match ups.

Which division(s) have the biggest gap between the greatest and 2nd greatest fighters ever, and how would you rank them in order?

By biggest gap I mean like, how far apart 2nd greatest is from matching the greatest

An example is made below, some of these are just my guesses, with the top of the list meaning greatest and 2nd greatest are furthest apart, and the lower ones means they are closer in greatness.

WW - GSP, Matt Hughes
MW - Anderson Silva, Israel Adesanya
LHW Jon Jones, Daniel Cormier
FLW - Demetrious Johnson, Joseph Benavidez
LW - Khabib, BJ Penn
HW - Fedor, Stipe
FW Jose Aldo, Alex Volk
BW - Cruz, TJ

Feel free to add women's weight classes, i really have no idea about them besides Nunes being the best

Some things to possibly consider, how close are 1 and 2 in title defenses, how long they reigned/dominated the division, quality of opponents, how frequently it is argued that 2 is better than 1 etc.

GSP against Hughes vs Benavidez can't compare to Hughes for DJ imo.

 

[Better Every Day]

There is no second. Everyone except for Valentina has accomplished nothing

Accomplished nothing? Grasso finished Shevchenko in the first fight, and knocked Shevchenko down spectacularly in the second fight. And there is even an argument to be made that Shevchenko was saved by the bell in round 5 of the second fight.

It’s easily might mouse. 11 title defenses and a pretty much unscathed flyweight career.

no other flyweight has much to offer. Benavidez never won a title, cejudo left the division soon after winning the belt, Figureido and Moreno couldn’t amass win streaks, etc
