GSP was one of the GOAT champions of any sport and a fantastic ambassador for MMA.

Legacy wise its Hughes. He was more of a pioneer being one of the earliest guys you could point to and be like āsee! MMA has actual high skilled pro athletes!ā
He was one of the first truly great MMA fighters.

I havenāt heard anything about BJ in a while. Is he getting better?
I think he might be doing better for know of weād all be hearing about it. Iām hope he doesnāt end up killing someone. Iād be terrified if BJ thought I replaced his parents or was trying to steal his money

Rich kid that didnāt even have to do MMA for money, just did it for the love of the game. You wonāt see another lightweight fight someone of Machidaās caliber at an open weight fight.
Guy was a fucking killer in the cage, I hope he never becomes a killer outside of it. Hopefully heās getting better, he was my GOAT back in the day.
(Also, he got robbed against Frankie in their first fight. Iāll die on that hill)

Last year he was getting arrested once a month. Things havenāt popped up in a while and just totally dropped off.
Fingers crossed that no news = good news.
Pele or Anderson Silva for me.
If I remember Dan Henderson was pretty lethal at WW as well.
