This still does not change the fact that Anthony Smith's individual skillsets on paper are better than Jon Jones' skillsets. 50-45 Lionheart.

[@ruin3r]

Smith made a fatal error in negotiations by agreeing to have the fight in an octagon instead of on a large sheet of paper where he would've R1 KOed Jon. Rumor has it Jon's corner wiped sweat off him between rounds with a paper towel, and that caused the cognitive dissonance that made him throw the illegal knee, so paper still almost won the title for Smith if he took that DQ.

These arguments against Anderson Silva‘s greatness, never add up. He didn’t fight good competition? We only consider it not good competition because he dominated them and made it look easy. Who is he supposed to fight? These were the other best fighters in the whole fucking world at the time, so what, is he supposed to go to another planet to find better competition? if he’s beating everybody that’s put in front of him and all the top contenders, just because they don’t have a big enough name and aren’t as popular, doesn’t make it less of an accomplishment. You also mentioned James Irving who was actually at 205, along with Forest Griffin, and Stephan Bonner, and he finished Stefan Bonner way quicker and in more devastating fashion than Jon Jones did. If you count those three light heavyweight fights, and the one with Travis Lutter, who missed weight and add them to his title defenses he still holds the record, and he shouldn’t be punished just for being man enough to go up in weight like Jon Jones took six years to do and dodged Francis Ngannou, or anybody that would be a threat to him.

[@FrenkieWest32]

saying the competition was not as good does not mean he is blamed for it like he should have found better opponents. It'ss not about ''being punished'', it just is what it is. And the argument obviously wasn't about poopularity, it was about skill.

Anderson Silva had amazing fights. But he also failed for USADA late in his career. And his resume is pretty awful. His best win is against TRT Belfort, but a lot of his other fights were just not against elite fighters. Volkonovski has the best resume and best record of any UFC fighter in history. Because he has 3 wins against Max Holloway, and Max is one of the best fighters on Earth. GSP's resume is questionable, and his fight with Hendricks was pretty awful.

Prime Silva was the nearest thing we will ever see to a ninja in the cage. People forget he was the best in the ufc for like 10 years and still holds so many records. Also to answer your critique of Silva , you can only beat the level at the time, by your logic every 10-15 years the GOAT list will need to be wiped. Also I just still can't put Khabib in my top 5. Defended the belt 3 times and he won the thing from Al Iaquinta? He COULD have become the goat but he simply hasn't done enough. There guys here with 11,12,13 title defenses.

I met Bisping twice. He is huge. I'm 6' tall and weighed at the time 220lbs in great shape. He was significantly bigger than me. I met GSP once. He is tiny. I made him look small. I am a huge GSP fan. I think his win over Bisping is significant. Johnny Hendricks did more damage to GSP, but GSP won 3 of the five rounds. And that's how MMA is scored. If it was scored differently, GSP arguably would have fought differently.

Regarding Khabib's resume. Isn't Justin Gaethje an elite defensive wrestler? Going into the fight, Justin was confident that Khabib would never get a takedown on him, because his wrestling history he never got taken down. I haven't looked into his wrestling history, but that's what he said going into the fight. Justin has bad submission game, but my impression is that he is an elite wrestler with devastating striking, but Khabib was able to take him down and manhandle him all the same. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[@keithromero7181]

No

[@thenedsmmachannel8970]

His initial takedown defense is really good but he's not good at scrambles and chain wrestling like an Usman, Darisuh, or Gamrot. Also his non existent submission game really brings down his grappling as whole. He's only fought 2 grapplers in his whole UFC career. Firmino gave him a hard time in the grappling even though it was a young Justin, he still made it extremely competitive.

[@jamesclouse9947]

Your Aldo takes are terrible as usual. Aldo was not out of his prime becasue he was 30, it was because he had 15+ years of MMA miles on him by the time he faced Max. You managed to take one of his greatest accomplishments (beating elite bantamweights while out of his prime) and turned it into an argument against him? Cmon. Aldo is top 6 at worst and a pioneer of MMA defence, boxing and perfected leg kicking in modern MMA. I recommend everyone to read Ryan Wagner's article on Aldo's career at the FightSite.

Personally i think PEDs were a factor but he never failed so whatever but to be fair to Aldo the argument that he was no longer in his prime was not about age it was about damage taken he was literally one of if not the best kickers at the time and he just stopped throwing kicks most likely because he couldn't anymore, Volk started late but look at guys like Rory Macdonald who started very young by the time he was 30 his best days were behind him

Became more dominant every new „toughest“ challenge he got. Ran through gaethje like he was an amateur. This argument is so so weak that it confuses me how you can even use this

I couldn't agree more with your GSP take. With all due respect to GSP, he will forever remain a staple In the sport of MMA and truly enough I understand why some call him the GOAT, but his win over Bisping Isn't as Impressive as fans try and make It out to be. Especially given that Bisping still gave GSP a competitive fight before he was finished, and this was a Bisping who was In his early 40s by the time of his career, and you also gotta factor In that GSP vacated shortly after ducking contenders like Whittaker to defend against, which kinda does dampen his legacy. People are having a go at Jon Jones for ducking Tom, but GSP did the same to contenders when he was MW champ too. And yes, The Hendricks fight was a robbery, GSP lost that fight.
