Sorry for double post, but I can't let this die, and I have to hear some of your thoughts on this.. Henderson has been released from UFC... Right before his fight with Marquardt... How does this happened? He just destroyed Bisping..
Only one of those guys that'd give Hendo a good fight (IMO) would be Mousasi. Jacare and Shields would both get slaughtered on the feet and neither would get Hendo to the ground with their own will. Oh yeah, neither can throw a punch worth shit lol.
I'm probably the biggest GSP fan on the planet and I don't think I'd put him ahead of Fedor just yet.
Anderson has beaten #2 twice (Franklin the first time, Hendo), #3 twice (Franklin the second time, Nate), and #4 (Forrest). He also holds wins over Leites and Cote who were considered top 5-10.
GSP has beaten #1 once (Hughes), #2 twice (Hughes on time 2, Fitch), #3 once (Alves). I have NFI where BJ Penn, Kos and Serra ranked, I'd say around 5. However he also has the Serra loss on his record, which hurts.
However, his wins over Arlovski and Sylvia are when both were out of their prime.. They were dropped from UFC for a reason.
However, his wins over Arlovski and Sylvia are when both were out of their prime.. They were dropped from UFC for a reason. Hence, why I argue his record is way less impressive. Anderson has destroyed his opponents when they are in their better stages of their career.
-GSP-recent wins over Alves, BJ Penn, Fitch
-Fedor-Rogers lol, Arlovski, Timmy
-Silva-Griffin, Leites, Cote
My top 3 would be:
1. GSP
2. Fedor
3. Silva
