This is what I get for posting while half-awake, but hilariously enough, no, not really; CBS's programming for that timeslot on Saturdays is a rerun of 48 Hours followed by a new episode of 48 Hours, which have been doing about 2 and 3 million apiece respectively.

UFC 284 Embedded - ep 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGDQwdmY7Fk e. Josh Emmett seems like a decent guy from his visit to the wildlife park. Is there some background of his that I should be wary of? That part of the video is a must watch for animal fans. Kragger99 fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Feb 6, 2023 |

Here's a discussion topic that all of this brings to mind: at what date was the slate of UFC champions at its best A couple of rules just to establish criteria: 1) No hindsight. You can pick whatever date you want, but you're only allowed to judge the fighters by things that happened before that date. You can choose whatever you want from the past relative to your date in question. If you looked at Rousey as less when her bad shadow boxing vids came out? Cool - that's fine. 2) Only positive measures. Nicco Montano may have been a nothingburger champ, but weigh things on the assumption that adding her to the champs was at worst, value-neutral (and frankly, I knew some people who were hype for her irl). Of course, no number of Nicco Monanos or Germaine de Randamies are worth a GSP. Other than that, the main criteria should be competitive excellence and how hype you were to watch them fight.

Anderson, GSP, Penn and Aldo overlapped, right? Even if I’m wrong and you have scratch Penn, that’s my clear winner without having to account for anyone else.

The 2011 roster is almost certainly the canonically correct answer, but I think there's a surprisingly good argument to be made for mid-2019. Stipe Miocic, Jon Jones, Robert Whittaker, Kamaru Usman, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Max Holloway, Henry Cejudo, Henry Cejudo, Amanda Nunes, Amanda Nunes, Valentina Shevchenko, Zhang Weili. (honorable mention, mid-2017: Stipe Miocic, Jon Jones (or Daniel Cormier if you don't count that stricken-from-the-record reign), your choice of Robert Whittaker or GSP which is a fight I'm still mad we never got, pre-crisis Tyron Woodley, Conor McGregor at the height of his power, Max Holloway, TJ Dillashaw, Demetrious Johnson, Cris Cyborg, Amanda Nunes, but then you hit the skids with Nicco Montaño and try to recover with Rose Namajunas.)

We still saw the shadow of that guy against Travis Browne and goddamn that was clinical. His injuries and resulting inconsistent schedule make him hard to rank. Overall, he's more a 'what if' despite having a very good career. Not a million miles away from Shogun in that sense.

pet week rules and mullarkey's dog makes me feel bad about picking against him so often Also in the inevitable, Kevin Lee is back in the UFC after a lengthy and notable free agency that included such wonders as "beating 2022 Diego Sanchez by decision at a weight class that doesn't exist" and "nothing."

On one hand: Prime Cain might actually be the best heavyweight of all time talentwise and he made both Brock and Pride fans incredibly unhappy, and he also knocked Junior dos Santos out with a Diamond Cutter in real life. On the other hand: His injuries were a plague, his prime was wasted on rematches and he almost killed a bunch of people and then shot a guy near my friend's house. I am averaging these out and sticking with Stipe.

Cain ruled, just absolutely frightening. What he did to JDS is just one of the most unholy beatings any man has ever delivered. He completely changed the course of the man's career. Just stinks his knees were a wreck.

Whittaker being the weakest link there is pretty impressive. Jones, Khabib, Holloway, Cejudo, Nunes (at both weights) Shevchenko, and Weili all have arguments as the best ever in those divisions.

On the subject of Cain, there are some guys who, when they are winning, look more like they are committing a crime than engaging in an athletic contest. Compare a dominant Cain performance with a dominant Holloway or GSP performance; Holloway beating the brakes off of Kattar was one-sided but it was still a sport. GSP completely neutralized Thiago Alves, but it still seemed like an athletic competition. Cain beating up Bigfoot was like a snuff film.
