Plus even if he “should have gotten the nod” over Izzy, which is very debatable, how would he be number two exactly? He had multiple chances to become the champion and failed each time.
I don’t see how that puts Yoel above other established former middleweight champions such as Franklin, Weidman, Izzy, Whittaker, or hell, even Tanner.
This resume gets more and more unimpressive as time goes on. Hendo was by far his best win. Sonnen, who lost over half of his fights, absolutely dominated Silva in one of his wins. The Rich Franklin wins were impressive. And he did dominate a bunch of middle of the pack fighters and below average fighters throughout his career, while also losing to a few. He failed to beat Weidman twice getting KO’d in one of them, while most here laugh at Weidman even being considered on this list.
And LOL at Travis Lutter being the Michael Jordan of BJJ - that’s just hilariously untrue. I’d rank Anderson Silva the best overrated fighter of all time though.
Weidman seemed to have Anderson’s number the same way Ken Norton did Ali’s, but Ali was still the greatest and so is Silva.

Anderson Silva’s resume is second to maybe only JBJ. Judging by your SN you’re a Fedor fan which means you’re very insecure about your boy
Anderson made his debut KO’ing Chris Leben in less than a minute. No one else has beat Chris Leben that way
He knocked out Rich Franklin twice, who was the man at MW before Silva
Travis Lutter was on a 3 fight win streak, fresh off a submission win over Patrick Cote
Finished Nate Marquardt in round 1 who was on a 6 fight win streak
Submitted Dan Henderson, who is an all time great. He knocked out your boy…
Moved up to LHW and KO’d James Irivin in the first round, without breaking a sweat
Moved up to LHW again and KO’d the former 205 champ, within a round. Was one of the most legendary performances in UFC history
Demian Maia, one of the most elite BJJ Black Belts we’ve ever seen in the UFC, had nothing for Anderson
Defeated Chael Sonnen twice, the first time he tested positive after the fight. The second fight Silva beat him with relative ease
Defeated TRT Vitor Belfort
Defeated Yushin Okami who was on a 3 fight win streak with wins against Mark Munoz and Nate Marquardt
On top of all that, it’s the way he beat these guys. What he did to Henderson. What he did to the former LHW champ Forrest Griffin. The front kick KO to TRT Belfort. etc. etc. etc.
Only a hater/casual would not be impressed by this

Fedor would have nothing for Anderson Silva
FRAT ALERT
Because he’s a humble and shy man. That’s even more reason why he’s GOAT MW
Anderson resume is solid. Didn’t the TRT Vitor phase start after the Anderson and Jones loses?

Yeah, he was flabby during the Anderson fight.
It’s insane how much Vitor has see-sawed throughout his career from roided out bodybuilder to Dad bod.
Yes
Yes.
How can rich franklin be no 3 when anderson used him like toilet paper in his prime?
You can make some sort of weird argument for Izzy, Or maybe Weidman to be above anderson. I dont agree but you could.
Rich Franklin above him is wild.
There’s no argument for Weidman above Andy. Izzy maybe, wouldn’t agree but agree u could make a case there. Weidmans resume and career is no where close to Andy’s.
Dennis Hellman also beat Hughes twice.
Worst take I’ve ever seen. Cruz has his head up his ass.
He’s a shit commentator as well
