Michael Johnson or Michael Jackson? No I wouldn't consider either an elite MMA fighter. Nobody will ever claim to be great by haven beaten Michael Johnson (or Michael Jackson). Barboza is on the cusp of being elite I guess, but he loses to top fighters. Those other guys you mentioned from Bellator, Lima and Kalashnikov, they're supposed to be elite? C'mon son. And don't bother telling me that they have won against washed up/cut former UFC fighters who have one foot in retirement.So Edson and MJ are though?
Shut up!
And it's not even them you're arguing to legitimise, it's a guy that beat them way back when they were still working they way up and who has since retired to fighting cans.
