Innit, every two funking years there's a new ATG heavyweight. Theres only 4/5 atg great MMA fighters. The short fat Russian dude who fought at heavyweight is definitely THE goat. He was an utter animal.
You should have heard Rogan after Rhonda's fight. "Rhonda, it's truly an honor to watch you fight, thank you". And he said a ton more but can't remember, but it was quite sickening.
Watching woman fight makes me feel literally physically sick, I know it's ***ist but it just makes my stomach turn for some reason.
Name me the all prime hall of famers he beat then. Pinklon Thomas was on the slide and hadn't beaten a ranked contender in 2 years. Tyrell Briggs had only 16 fights as a pro and barely managed to beat David Bey. Holmes was several years past his prime, hadn't fought in almost 2 years, and hadn't convincingly beaten a ranked contender in almost 3 years. Tubbs hadn't beaten a ranked contender in 3 years. Spinks was inactive for a year, and hadn't genuinely beaten a top heavyweight in nearly 3 years. Bruno failed to collect a belt 3 times before finally beating the mediocre Oliver McCall. Stay ignorant though :good
You said "Tyson said she's the real deal" This is not Tyson saying she's as good as he was or comparable. BUT even if he had... You said "who are we to say differently?".. we are just as, if not more, entitled than the fighters themselves to rank them. As many an athlete will say - it's up to the fans and historians to rank them... If Michael Jordan said James Harden was as good as him, I would say no he's not, Michael For me, comparing a legendary male boxer to a currently dominant female MMA fighter is like comparing a legendary basketball player to a dominant netball player. They are in different leagues because, inarguably, the sports are in different leagues.
Look man, it's over, the op responded to me and said he could see what I was saying.. That is who I was talking to in the first place. Yes we all have our opinions, but when something comes straight from the horses mouth, it should hold more weight.. And your argument about fans, historians, peers are the ones who decide where an athlete measures. You are correct.!! Last I checked Rousey is not the one making all these proclamation.. It's the fans and her peers.. Including the man himself.. So who is right?? You're saying I shouldn't listen to the athletes, it's up to the fans.. Well what are the people saying?? Again, I don't agree about her, hell, I've only seen this one fight to be honest, and that's because it was on Facebook.. Like my initial post stated, I was just pointing out the irony about Tyson saying the opposite of what the OP said.. Give it up boy.. Damn
Well you're going backwards there because your argument is that Tyson said it, not the people/fans etc... therefore further validating everything I said. And it's not ironic because all of that Tyson praise has been carefully positioned as I previously stated. And if you're upset that I'm talking to you when you were talking to the OP, and want me to "give it up", then shut the fvck up writing essays yourself boy... Damn
