Fedor is the GOAT of MMA and here is why:
-Fedor has more MMA fights than Anderson (despite being younger)
-Fedor has more wins than Anderson
-Fedor has less losses (2) while Anderson has 4, against low competition.
-Fedor has more top ranked fights (this can be disputed depending on the ranking).
-Fedor has won 5 championships. He was the reigning heavyweight champion in an org. Anderson couldn't hang in.
-Fedor was ranked #1 in his weight class for 7 years straight, while Anderson for 5.
-Andersons largest win streak is 14 wins. Fedor had a 28 win streak.
-Fedor remanined unbeaten for 10 years, named the fighter of the decade.
-Fedor has never been beaten down and dominated, ever.
-Fedor is the only fighter known for being able to outclass his opponents at their own strenghts
-Fedor has fought top fighters up to 30lbs bigger than him, while Anderson has barely fought anyone with a size and reach advantage over him.
Other things to take in mind:
-Anderson cuts weight to fight at both 185 and 205. Fedor never cuts weight.
-Anderson hasn't fought a world class striker. A Ring rust Vitor is the only decent one he's beaten. Fedor has fought several great strikers of k1 level.
-An injured Fedor outstruck the guy who was considered the best striker in MMA, in what is considered by many the greatest MMA fight in history.
-Fedor tooled Anderson's bjj teacher on the ground, twice.
-Anderson struggled with fighters like Chonan and Takase, while Fedor was reigning supreme.
-More fighters and pros have recognized Fedor as the best in history
-For 10 years, Fedor was a synonym to invincibility. Anderson was proven beatable from his 1st mma fight.
