Your call out must be working, he's already climbed up to #23. I've got him at #7 all-time (my #1 ranking is facetious).

Also just realized Frankie has never been finished.
That's amazing.

Yeah, especially after the beatings he took in the 2nd and 3rd Maynard fights and the Aldo's one too.

I've been calling Frankie Edgar a top 5 all-time great since he lost to Aldo. If Frankie Edgar wins the FW title (which I think he will, regardless of the chump holding the belt), loses it, and then goes down to bantamweight to fight for that title, win or lose I think Frankie cements himself as the greatest of all-time.
Yes, better than Fedor.
Yes, better than GSP.
Anderson Silva shouldn't even count on that list (I still have a sour taste in my mouth because of that).
Yes, even Tito.

Frankie's always been underrated. I think his only shot at the FW title is if Cnor wins it. But Aldo will smash Conor. So there goes that. Maybe a drop to BW is in his future. I like Frankie's chances against anyone in that division.

I'm picking Conor over Aldo, but I agree that Frankie has a better shot against the former.

I don't believe any athletes that cheat using performance enhancing drugs or steroids of any kind can even be considered to be among the greatest. And to think people forget and let them get away with it when they cheated to have an advantage. **** Anderson ' the slimy spider' Silva or Jon 'sly Bones' Jones they ****en cheated and don't anyone forget that!!!

Yes I hear what you are saying, but with USADA now working hard to make the UFC a clean sport eventually we will find who the true champions are. If you take that risk and cheat and get caught, you should lose all rights to be even considered great. There are places for cheating scummy juice monkeys like Bellator.

The problem is that it's damn near impossible to tell who juiced and who didn't - and when. Spider didn't pop until he was no longer relevant, for example.
