    By division, or p4p?

    Would the p4p look something like:

    Gracie originally
    Emelienko up till 2011
    Silva now

    ???St Pierre??? in the future???

    Before Fedor established himself, was the GOAT not Gracie more or less for lack of anyone else with a case?

    And how likely is it that Jones, who is yet to make a title defense, will retire as the greatest mixed martial artist ever to compete?

    Also, what are some things that GSP needs to do over the next 3-4-5 years to make his case?

    simple gracie fought bums, fedor fought, cro cop, noguiera, mark hunt, mark coleman all of who were in their primes. Gracie's hardest opponent was against sakuraba who beat him. Jon jones is the future he is anderson silva but with gsp's wrestling abilities and gsp first needs to beat my boy nick diaz.

    Bit early to be saying Jones no? He could well end up in the top 3 but its way too early just now
