Who is the greatest European MMA Fighter of all time?

[Dana's Moonface]

That's not the Crumlin he's from, you clown.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crumlin,_Dublin

You actually think Conor reps the Irish flag and is from Northern Ireland? Lmao

There is a Crumlin in the North of Ireland, but as you have already stated, he is from Crumlin outside Dublin

Also 50% of the country wear the tricolour
I'm an Irish nationalist with an Irish passport and I would never have a northern ireland flag near me

We are allowed dual citizenship, British and irish

Let me ask you this, if you asked Fedor if hes Ukrainian or Russain what do you think he'll say?

He'd say Russian and I was trying to sneak him in here obviously sir lol.

 

[Starman]

If you consider Russia a part of Europe then it’s Fedor. If not, then you’re arguing guys like CroCop, Bisping, and McGregor.

 

[Chillez]

Fedor

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Fedor, not even close

 

[Hitdepruns]

77% of Russia is in Asia.
Typically, Russia is not considered European.

Russia although with vast extensions towards asia is considered an European country and im not going to elaborate on history, art and culture. The capital is Moscow and was St Petesburg previously. So... Fedor.

Even including Russia, Im going to stick with Crocop. I dont want to say "Fedor was never that good" but I always felt he was a bit overrated. Had he fought in the UFC (drug testing) then Id give him the nod. Not that Crocop was clean by any stretch of the imagination but he at least had a UFC run. Much like Wandy, Fedor benefited from favorable matchups. Big Nog was a good win but fatass Ricco Rodriguez beat Big Nog in Japan and was robbed by the judges.

Weird reasoning. Cro Cops UFC run was a disaster, so it's absurd to have that put him in front of Fedor. And fatass Ricco Rodriguez beat Nog, so that somehow diminishes Fedor's win? Well, Cro Cop lost vs Nog...

 

[Bouboumaster]

Obviously, it's Fedor

I have him as the #2 p4p fighter

About 90% of the population live in the European part including Fedor who was born/raised/trained there.

Artem Lobov is the greatest European fighter of all time. This thread is useless.

 

[Franklin U.]

Conor isnt even a blip on radar compared to mousasi or ( if Russia counts or not) fedor.

This place is a comedy store . Conors window was small and somewhat protected. He doesn't sniff top 50 mmartist of all time.

Are we talking merit or bringing eyes to the sport ?
Then that's a different discussion.

 

[SlomiGa]

Excluding Russia;
Mirko, Mousasi, Reem, Bas.

And lol at people listing Conor.

 

[doggo]

Crocop yeah.

Should be merit, I also scratch my eyes when people mention Conor in these top lists, I usually look at the poster AV and then try to guess if he's trolling or what.

 

[Jokke]

1. Bisping
2. Conor
3. Joanna

 

[Sean Ryan]

There have been just 8 European champions (As Russia spans into Asia it will not be counted here) in UFC history; Joanna, GDR, Conor McGregor, Michael Bisping, Blachowicz, Jiri, Bas Rutten and Andrei Arlovski. Do you think it could be one of those?

Or maybe an outside pick like Ubereem or Mousasi?

Who do you think is best MMA fighter ever to come out of Europe?

Russia is in Europe. That's like not counting southern U.S states and regarding them as Mexican.
