[@HollywoodAJ]

Molly just googled all of Silva’s accolades 😂

[@youcantseeme2244]

Not even Khabib would put himself over Ali. Khabib and Floyd were undefeated but out of respect for what he did for combat sports I think he's number 1. Floyd and Khabib's runs were perfect so they deserve to be up there. Nunes and GSP are also good picks. Also shout-out to Mighty Mouse who always gets left out and Royce Gracie for all that he did for the sport in his time.

[@KINGWESTCOAST]

Don’t group khabib and Floyd together. Khabib is great but he shouldn’t be over Ali. But Floyd in boxing has done more than Ali, more champs beaten, more divisions won, and remained undefeated

[@youcantseeme2244]

@@KINGWESTCOAST I was just comparing the two in terms of having undefeated runs in their respective sports. Both left with no losses, a ton of money and never bled. They played the game the best. I would agree Floyd did more in his sport but Khabib didn't lose rounds and also to stay unbeaten in MMA is harder imo given that the sport encompasses more. For me they are both greats in their own ways.

[@andrewvazquez1936]

@@KINGWESTCOAST did more than Ali? Ali was fighting killers in their primes. when he was past his prime. Floyd was fighting guys that were already over the hill. padding his record against old aging legends. he was a champion in multiple weight classes, but that doesn’t mean a whole lot when there’s 69 world championships. there’s 4 world titles in each weight class. In Ali’s era winning a world title was a huge accomplishment. nowadays it means nothing unless you beat the best for it.

[@kartiku1]

NO JONES? When it comes to pure Raw one on one combat, What have Jones done in the ring to his mighty opponents, "as He almost always fought the no 1 Contender" and that being the youngest champion!! JONES is the greatest of all time!!

[@theCust0m]

Very entertaining! Not agreeing with the list tho. Jones, Gsp, Mighty mouse and Silva over Khabib. Number of title fights matters if talking about goat status.

[@hisoka524]

U cant just ignore all the other aspects and only talk about titel defences. U cant just ignor their cheating, steroids usage, The amount of fights they had lost, Thd rounds they lost, dominance. How long it took them to acctully get a titel shot. Khabib had to go on a 9 fight win streak to be given a titel shot. Khabib did it all clean and Without bleeding once in the octagon or having a single bruise on his face. Those other guys where on peds or lost multiple fights or lost multiple rounds and had controversial wins unlike khabib. Even gsp and john danhar said khabib is a goat

[@theCust0m]

@@hisoka524 Good points that I didn't ignore. Khabib may just be the most dominant fighter ever. His lack of title defences (3) compared to others can't be ignored either. DJ had 11 defences in a row without any cheating. Gsp has also beat everyone he has ever fought and has way more title fights. No cheating either + double champ.

[@TigerG531]

Impossible to make such a list to be honest too many great fighters!!
