    He may end up being but it's still way to early.
    It was a good fight and win for Adesanya but he didn't look unbeatable when he fought Gastelum and while I think he will win his next fight,it's far from a certainty he beats Romero

    No Anderson Silva held his belt for over 6 years and defended his title like 10+ times

    Israel could surpass him only time will tell

    Not yet, but he seems to have the talent to do it. Also, he's fighting in a significantly tougher era than Anderson, who had half of his defenses against guys like Patrick Cote and Thales Leites. Those guys are miles behind Whittaker, Gastelum, Yoel, Cannonier etc. This Shabazian kid who iced Brad Tavares looks like another killer added to the mix. It's just a tougher era.

    Obviously Anderson had greats wins over Rich Franklin, Vitor, & and Dan Henderson. I'm not trying to diminish his legacy, but facts are facts.

    If kelvin Fatselum had cardio he would of finished him, he had him ready to go and ran out of juice and hugged him for no reason.
