Anderson Silva is almost at the end of his career and what a career the Brazilian has had. The man is an absolute phenomenon. With the longest win streak and longest days as champion in the history of the UFC, the Brazilian is already considered by many as the greatest mixed martial artist of all time.

Speaking ahead of his fight, Dr. Jason Park, Anderson Silva’s coach revealed the fighters he considers as the greatest of all time. To everyone’s surprise he didn’t include the recently retired Russian lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Speaking to Schmo, Dr. Jason Park was quoted as saying, “Who else has elevated the game apart from Anderson Silva, Georges St-Pierre and Jon Jones? Those are the three GOATs. There’s no one else.” It is to be noted that, Jon Jones has 14 successful title defenses to his name, closely followed by Georges St-Pierre at 13 and as for Anderson Silva; do you even need a justification?

It might be surprising to a few as the names mentioned by Dr. Jason Park at least have one loss to their names, but the “Eagle of Dagestan” Khabib Nurmagomedov who was left out by Dr. Park doesn’t have even a single loss in his professional career. The Russian has a record of 29 wins and 0 losses. Do you agree with Dr. Jason Park’s list of GOATs? If not, which fighters will your list comprise of?
