honestly imo most stat's are weak in sports period because the low number of "trials" and the apples to oranges nature of everything. Anderson is undoubtably on the Mt Rushmore of MMA and his reign as champion was amazing for many reasons but how do you compare that dominance in a then weak 185 pound division to GSP's dominance in laying on people in a much more stacked division? Or Khabib never losing a round in what is almost certainly the best division of all time but he hasn't seen the majority of the top ten?That's why he doesn't have weak stats like "most consecutive rounds won". That's for weaker fighters.
McGregor had 14 finishes during a 15 fight streak. 93% finish rate.Anderson Silva had 14 finishes during his 16 fight win streak.
88% finish rate.
Is that the best finishing rate (during a long win streak) of all time?
Anderson had 10 title defenses and 3 LHW finishes during his win streak.McGregor had 14 finishes during a 15 fight streak. 93%.

On Fedor's streak he stopped 25 of the 31 fights which is about an 80 percent finish rate if I'm not mistaken.
GOAT problemsAnd then if you remember back then, the howling and crying about those two fights he didn't finish. It was almost viewed as a war crime when Anderson didn't finish someone.
Anderson and Fedor are both GOATsI will add some gifs to my post (just for the likes)
