No doubt about it, won't even take 5 years. If he can remain champ for another 3 years he'll have Silva's title defense record broken by age 30.

Probably 5 if he wants to be known as unquestionably the best ever. Also, his last 3 fights have been by decision. He'll need to break that pattern if people are to accept him as being the GOAT. I think that's the one big knock on GSP - great finisher early, but took everything to decision once he got comfortable being the champion.

True, that's why Silva is the best ever in my opinIon.

From the options, I'd go Anderson Silva.

If I had a choice, I might say Jon Jones, right now.

I had Jones in the original poll but removed him, thought it was too early in his career to discuss with Silva and GSP, but no denying the talent, he's definitely in the discussion, but needs a few more years to establish himself as the GOAT. I threw him back in the poll for you guys, it'll make it more interesting.

No doubt this failed drug test definitely hurts Silvas legacy. But did he ever fail an exam during the span he broke UFC records? How about Pride? No. Can't believe people like you would throw away Silva's whole legacy, every incredible KO, because one failed drug test at the age of 40 coming off the most devastating injury in MMA history.

Are you serious? Even if she beats Cyborg, which if she does would be sometime in the next year, you'd already consider her established enough to be considered the greatest ufc fighter of all-time??? She has to fight for at least 4-5 more years as the champion before we even throw her in the discussion with Silva, GSP, and Jones
