    Which is most important? Which is least important?

    * Two to three signature wins against one or two fellow ATGs

    * A long undefeated run of 12+ fights at some point in your career

    * Winning a trilogy or 2 fights out of 2 against your greatest rival

    * Avenging any defeats

    * A lack of embarrassing upset defeats

    * A lack of undeserving, third-tier opponents

    * Never suffering a one-sided beatdown leading to getting stopped

    * Competing and winning at championship level for a full decade or close to it

    * Avoiding controversial wins, having all wins come by way of definitive result rather than arguable decisions, with close fights won decisively in the rematch

    * Losing a title fight and then regaining the title and ending up a harder working, hungrier, better fighter for the experience


    If you were going to be an MMA ATG, which of these things are most and least important?

    If you could choose 5 attributes from this list to have in your MMA career, which 5 would they be? :think

    :hat

    avenging any defeats is the most important IMO.
    If youve beaten everyone you have faced greatness is almost assured

    I you challenge yourself, defeat can happen, even it can be a good thing because it highlights the quality of opposition a fighter has faced

    Defeat is the opportunity to show what a fighter is made of. If he can bounce back and reach higher goals, become better, then who cares if he lost at some point
