Who are the second greatest fighter in each division.

[Takes_Two_To_Tango]

How can Fedor be HW goat when the majority of his fights were fixed, and when he started fighting non-scripted fights in the US, he lost almost every meaningful fight?

Which fights were fixed? He started losing because his luck run out. He almost lost a few times in his career in Pride. But he somehow found a way to comeback and win. Look at the Fujita fight for example.

The GOAT's for each division is pretty much well established by now.

Who are the number 2 tho?

HW
Goat = Fedor
#2 ?
Big Nog, Stipe, Werdum ?

LHW
Goat = JBJ
#2 ?
DC, Liddell, Shogun, Wandy ?

MW
Goat = Anderson Silva
#2 ?
Weidman, Mousasi, Bustamante, Hendo

WW
Goat = GSP
#2 ?
Hughes, Usman, Woodley, Miletich, Shields

LW
Goat = Khabib
#2 ?
Penn, Alvarez, Gomi, Edgar, Aoki

FW
Goat = Aldo
#2 ?
Max, Faber, Hioki, Volk

[theTKDguy]

Hw: stipe (fedor)
Lhw: dc (jones)
Mw: adesanya (andy)
Ww: usman (gsp)
Lw: ferguson (khabib)

 

[Sonny Qc]

265: Fedor second to Stipe
205: hard to decide
185: Whittaker second to Anderson (soon to be Israel if he beats Yoel and soon to be Anderson if Israel beats both Yoel and Costa back-to-back)
170: Lawler second to GSP

205 Ok, you hate JBJ
I can let that one slide.

185 : Whitaker #2 behind Anderson....
At the very least, say Adesanya then.
He beat Bobby AND Silva....

170 : I like Robbie as much as the next guy but..... 28-14
Arguably lost Vs Carlos when he was champ.
(he's maybe top 5 at WW tho)

 

[agibmxmma]

HW: #1 DC, #2 Fedor
LHW: #1 DC, #2 Wand or Chuck
MW: #1 no "goat" imo
WW: #1 GSP, #2 Hughes or Woodley or Shields
LW: #1 Khabib, #2 BJ
FW: #1 Aldo, #2 Max
BW: #1 Cruz, #2 no #2 yet imo
FlyW: #1 DJ, #2 no #2 yet imo

Lmfao @ people bringing up conor in a thread about the GOATS.

 

[agibmxmma]

LW - Khabib #2 just behind Conor. He's close though. A few more wins and he might overtake him.

Hope you are trolling.. being McGregor is 1-1 at LW in the UFC, lost to Khabib, has never had a win streak in his career like Khabib and has never had a title defense in his entire career. McGregor is nowhere near the "GOAT".

Here's where I plug ELO. And there is only 1 real surprise.

HW Nog http://www.fightmatrix.com/all-time-mma-rankings/all-time-heavyweight/
LHW W Silva http://www.fightmatrix.com/all-time-mma-rankings/all-time-lightheavyweight/
MW Weidman (!!!) http://www.fightmatrix.com/all-time-mma-rankings/all-time-middleweight/
WW Hughes http://www.fightmatrix.com/all-time-mma-rankings/all-time-welterweight/
LW Alvarez & Khabib in a virtual tie, but Khabib outright if he wins in April http://www.fightmatrix.com/all-time-mma-rankings/all-time-lightweight/
FW Holloway http://www.fightmatrix.com/all-time-mma-rankings/all-time-featherweight/
BW Dillishaw http://www.fightmatrix.com/all-time-mma-rankings/all-time-bantamweight/
Fly: 6 way tie. But in UFC it's a 2 way tie between Cejudo & Benavidez http://www.fightmatrix.com/all-time-mma-rankings/all-time-flyweight/

NOTE: ELO is inappropriate for Current rankings, but it's pretty good for the All Time kind.

 

[Xoleth]

HW - Werdum - top competition, he submitted Fedor, Cain, Nog and Reem
LHW - DC, even though he had many fights at HW
MW - Mousasi, although he has many fights at LHW and HW too
WW - Hughes

FW - Max
BW - TJ
