Popularity should only matter if everything else is equal. The greatest fighter of all time should be judged based on actually fighting.

This is a list for people who started watching MMA in 2016. Might as well put Sugar Sean on there while we’re at it.

If we call out the GOATs you mentioned for those things, Islam could easily be called out for the flaws he showed against Martins, Tsarukyan and Volkanovski.

I saw your post right after I made mine, but we pretty much said the same thing.

Cyborgs ego betrayed her in that fight. She wouldn’t let Nunes win any exchange. That’s to say, whenever Nunes landed a good strike, Cyborg felt like she had to get it back. If she fought smarter, I trust Cyborg’s gas tank over five rounds over Nunes, especially when you consider her superiority...

We all know the BMF belt is just a one fight type deal. No one has ever won it off of someone. Using a pretend belt as an excuse not to fight somebody is much worse than being awarded it.

This seems to be where Max is mentally. I get the impression his fans want the fight more than he does. Not that he doesn’t want it, but that he doesn’t have the energy this late in his career to go chasing after a guy who clearly doesn’t want to sign to fight him. As we’ve seen time and time...

It’s not ironic. There’s clearly one that’s worse than the other. Max Holloway wants to fight Topuria, and has stated as much since before Topuria won the title against Volkanovski. The first thing out of Topuria’s mouth since winning the title is that he’s not giving any of the top contenders...

Everything you said right here is a lie. Normally people can get away with bending the truth to sound more favorable toward their point, but this is just complete nonsense. Max Holloway recently gave Arnold Allen his first loss at featherweight, who was on a nine fight win streak. Ortega vs...

That's the general perception because he ended up getting the finish. But if you look close in the fight with Bonnar, his physique had clearly declined and he got caught by a lot of unnecessary punches. This wasn't the same guy who couldn't be touched by Griffin. Weidman was better than him at...

This is false. He was not at his best when he got KO’d by Weidman. If what you’re saying is true, a 37 year old champion should be common.

Adesanya knocked Peireira out with the most random, out-of-nowhere combo I’ve ever seen him throw— while rocked and not thinking clearly. Strikes like that are all Hill throws. What’s more, Adesanya has never left someone out cold like that before. So Peireira’s punch resistance is not good. It...

Wait hold on brother, what happened to the former champion and ranked argument from earlier? If these fights were on 300, here’s what you would say. Tate, former champion just lost her belt. Pennington TUF semifinalist when Tate was coach. Carmouche was in the first women’s UFC fight ever...

Bo Nickal been using his hands for KOs a lot more lately. It might not be on this card. But give it time, if he keeps this up, it will eventually lead to him getting caught.

Mark Coleman didn't win two UFC tournaments and then go on to become the first UFC Heavyweight champion? And out of Jim Miller, Mac Danzig, Dong Hyun Kim, TJ Grant, Tom Lawlor, CB Dolloway and Jon Jones-- none of them were ranked? I'll give you that point if you can show me the official UFC...

Is it based on their accomplishments or how much people are excited to see them fight? You keep changing the goal post when it suits your argument. Jiri is an exciting fighter. I never once mentioned him. "Aljo is coming off of being the BW champion with the most title defenses." This is...

If you fight once a year? Yes. I talked her up before she started losing. This is the same logic as you saying we can't use the future of Jon Jones career after UFC 100. We're talking bout the Joanna of UFC 217, not the one who went on a losing streak. Okay, thats your opinion. But the reality...

It’s just biased. A lot of the people he mentioned as cons to UFC 100 could fall under the “ranked fighter” or “former champion” category. Selective language only used when beneficial to hyping up UFC 300.

I think it should have been a fight with more meaning. Gaethje vs Makhachev? Max vs Topuria? The BMF thing never interested me. It’s just a normal fight.

Best card in a long time? I can agree to that. Best of all time? Definite no imo.
