Mt. Rushmore of 155 lb. fighters.

Does anyone else have a missing LIKE button for comments on this thread? The other threads are okay and have the link for me.
 
Penn is overrated on Sherdog.
 
Khabib, Penn, Gomi, Edgar

Not an Edgar fan, but he was robbed against Bendo
 
Hypothetically. I’d say fedor. Volk Han. Christoph Leninger. Kit cope and anothe smaller version of volk Han.
 
BJ Penn and Khabib the obvious 2 for anyone that doesn't have an agenda or is mentally challenged.

After that Frankie prob a must and and 1 of Tony/Bendo/Gomi/Eddie/Dustin
 
Khabib, BJ, Frankie. As for the fourth... If you have to think about it, they are not Rushmore worthy.
 
Can't come up with a definitive 4th.
Frankie, Khabib, BJ, and ...
 
BJ fought Machida, GSPx2, Hughes x3 as a natural, chubby 155er. Became a BJJ world champ in under 4 years, good boxing, BJJ, TDD.

No LW in the current era has the balls BJ did. Khabib is afraid of fighting guys like GSP who is the same size, old, and retired at WW etc.
 
Lots of recency bias here. In no particular order:

Khabib
Alvarez (check all the titles he’s won)
Bendo
Penn
 
Pettis gettin' way overlooked. SUB wins over Ben Henderson, Gilbert Melendez, Charles Oliveira, Michael Chiesa AND KOd Stephen Thompson at WW. Shit's like GOAT level.

Unfortunately his invincibility aura faded quick. His title run/reign was top of the top.

edit: first dude to KO Cowboy
