I guess it all depends on what your priorities are. If you don’t mind PED cheaters and eye pokers then I guess Johnny is your man. Though as skilful as Jones is, I still put GSP an eyelash ahead of him.
GSP isn't greater then Silva or Jones.

@@blk_dnt_crack508 Jones was not proved innocent. Picoman was definitely on the Roids and he tried to clean his body out before he actually fought, but couldn’t quite do it. He hid under an octagon at his training camp in phoenix to avoid being tested for PED’s ffs
I love the music in between it's very good sound effects are too
Nice video series, this seems very different than the modern mma journalism websites. I think by creating videos like these it will bring in more people to junkie and also keep them watching/clicking between big fights. It is much more sustainable and a breath of fresh air compared to the shock cringe engagement farms that mma reporting has become. Its nice and it shows when someone down their knows and understands their target audience. Double down on all things mma as the other leading channel has defected to the boxing side.
Now rank the top 30 hall of famers
You put Frank Shamrock at 29, but don't include Don Frye or Dan Severn?

GSP tapped to strikes but hes above jones, lost multiple times, had a less impressive run, less dominate, easier competition, GSP was never even considered the best until after he retired Silva was always outshining him as the best p4p fighter by a mile

Easy there partner. You’re making a lot of statements that are just playing wrong. You see Anderson Silva and John Jones were juicers. They were cheating. You say Jones had more exciting runs. I don’t think so. It all depends on what you’re used to. I do not think that John Jones‘s opponents were any better than GSP‘s. As for Anderson Silva I couldn’t care less as he was the biggest cheater, even worse than jones.

You lost me when you put jones at 2. GSP lost several fights and even Dana said he lost to Johnny Hendricks. Then fought a washed Michael Bisbing to claim double champ status. Jones is a crappy person but yet is the best fighter the world has ever seen.

Several fights? Do you mean the two that he later avenged? Also Dana whites opinion means absolutely nothing.
Conor and Penn over Cejudo, Valentina, and Hughes? Conor has no defenses and only 7 fights at FW. And Penn has lost more than half his ufc fights. Valentina has as many defenses as Conor has wins at FW. And Hughes has more defenses than Conor has wins at FW. And where's Cyborg and Izzy? Cyborg has 12 defenses across 4 organizations
Khabib only beat 2 champions, he’s outside the top 10 . 29-0 but resume is really weak . should’ve done more in the sport
Where is Charles Olivera who holds most of the UFC records for Finishes, Submissions, and Wins? Also where the hell is Islam Makhachev lol? Islam has the one of the longest winning streaks in UFC history and has destroyed everyone in his path. There is definitely a few greats missing on this list.

EH, wheres hendo?? And fedor?? Tito unbeaten for what 4 yrs, until randy spanked m. Its between 2 men. Jones and pierre. Ferocity jones, but consitency pierre. The only question is, if jones was a 170 woul he beat pierre. If pierre was jones hieght would he beat jones???? Now remember they have same height, reach etc. WHO WOULD WIN?? I THINK YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT IT IN YOUR MIND BEFORE ANSWERING!!🤨🤨🤔😏 pick ONE !!
GSP over Bones is a joke. It’s not even arguable honestly but this whole list isn’t really that good overall
Charles Oliveira?? He should be above Conor. Dustin Porier is there on the list?? 😂
So the number 4 greatest mma fighter of all time can't beat Jack Paul? Or is he so good he can fake fights and no one know's it but me???
