@@CT-yr8ph Sadly his legacy is tainted due to consecutive losses in his late career and failed drug tests. Those will, at minimum damper your status in the GOAT conversation. At worst it'll take you out it altogether because popping for PEDs (especially more than once) carries the stigma of drug cheat. You can argue Silva was past his prime, never the same from the leg break and all that, but his late career is part of his history. For as electric and spectacular Silva was in his prime, the era we all want to remember, his sharp decline is also part of his legacy too. That is the price fighters pay when they don't know, or don't want to quit; their legacies get tarnished.

You can’t make a list like that without Gustafson’s knockout over Texeira. A fantastic 3 uppercuts combo with a brutal over hand right ... Super necessary…

I am surprised that most of those highlights are from the old time, only Jiri's knockout represents the new generation.

@hz1155 2 года назад

'greatest' also applies to their significance within the division at the time, I'm pretty sure that's what they were going for. But they missed out some banging new ones for sure

I’m glad they respected Machida and put his knockout last. It was really something special!!!

The chuck Ledell part was so funny, bro. He looked like he was looking for the ref for help. He was so relieved when he stopped it😂 oh man.

@mattsmith6108 2 года назад

I have to say, chucks tko of Randy was icon for sure but shouldn't be making any greatest ever ko lists for the division lol. There was nothing outstanding about it other then the context

@camdenkeefer1310 2 года назад

Jiris knockout was way better than half these, everyone has bias over them old KOs

Silva toying with Griffin like that lives rent free in my head.

Layoto mochida's front kick knockout is so much kore impressive for the fact it knocked out randy of all people

@gifted26 2 года назад

Anderson Silva was something else! His run was one of the most amazing things I’ve seen in the UFC! Especially that push kick k.o. Incredible!

@keysersoze8648 2 года назад

He was fun to watch wasn't he. He could have held belts at 185 and 205 back then. I will never understand why he was never given a title shot at 205.
