I hope it's common knowledge that Fedor was the GOAT MMA fighter

Dan Henderson is the greatest american fighter in MMA history and has a better resume then everyone you named who has fought GSP

Beating up BJ Penn at 170 is not impressive to me especially with a 20lb weight advantage:yeshrug:

Hendo>Hughes

Sonnen>Kosheck

Okami>Fitch

Belfort=Shields

And this is not even counting Andersons wins against then UNDEFEATED ranked #1 WW at the time in Sakarai and his top 10 ranked win over LHW Forrest Griffin (Who had JUST lost his belt)

Silva has taken out ranked opponents in 3 seperate weight classes while GSP hasnt fought outside of 170 ever

LOL@ competition, GSP > Silva's. not even a fukkin question.

Stop it:shaq2:

i'm a huge hendo fan, so i know what you saying, but before GSP, Matt Hughes was BY FAR the most dominant UFC champion, let alone the WW division. i'd say their equivalent as far as achievements are concerned.

i'll agree with sonnen > koshchek. but koshcheck (then) was no slouch. that wasn't even a question back then. he was 9-1 with his only loss early in his career before he got humbled by GSP

Fitch > Okami all the way. i hate fitch as a fighter, but he's probably the best welterweight outside of GSP, easy. and also was GSP's toughest fight (GSP has said that himself). he's has FOUR losses and 24 wins . 2 of his losses come early in his career. the other 2 were to GSP and Hendricks recently. come on. you can't say Okami is better than that. no fukking way.

i'll agree with belfort = shields

sakurai? come on, that could be seen as impressive back then, but that's along with the time period where he lost to fukking Taiju Takase and Ryo Chonan.

and Forrest, really?? he's one of the worst, and most overrated (not even rated) LHW champs and even current fighters of today.

ok i'll take that.. but back then herring was actually a solid HW believe it or not. we're only allowed to say that bout crocop and noguera after he got whooped by fedor. BEFORE that, ain't no one was saying that shyt bout crocop. no one.

and the HW division was never that deep to begin with.. even now. so fedor was the undisputed at that time.. which coincides with alot of people with the GOAT. i'm not saying he is, because i don't personally don't think so, but there was legit reason for people thinking he was, back in the day at least

You forget Cro Cop being Drugged by Kevin Randleman?

Big Nog still had decent wins after his 3rd match with Fedor and they were not cans. Werdum,Barnett, Sylvia:snoop: (was a title fight :yeshrug:) Randy and schaub

I agree. Fedor is a true monster.





After seeing him get slammed at full force right on his head and not get stunned and win, and seeing him take that vicious haymaker from fujita and damn near too him on the spot... dude was seeing stars for a good two seconds after that blow but still managed to wrap him and beat em.

he got my vote

We cant use hindsight in discussing quality wins. At the time those were big wins like it or not and im not discounting the huge win over hughes but i remember they were saying Franklin was gonna smash Anderson as well.

Jon fitch outside of thiago alves and fat diego sanchez has ZERO notable wins. although his record looks better for sure but the quality of opponents is about equal.

This is my point people like to say GSP had FAR and away better comp and its no comparison when this is not true. The comp has been pretty equal the difference is Anderson is finishing all his competition fairly easy outside of the 1st sonnen fight. While GSP hasnt finished a fight since Jan of 2009 against fat BJ Penn?

Lol at some of y'all can't admit Fedor is the GOAT prolly cause he's a Russian cac. For proof look at what UFC members said about him. He was unstoppable for 10 years. And lol at home being afraid to join the UFC, he destroyed everyone in the UFC! why would he join and be tied down by their contracts and crappy rules.

Just watch how this man dominates his opponents. No one had seen a fighter close to him. Outside of this forum, it's common knowledge he is the Michael Jordan of the sport
