I'm not talking for a complete career but lets say a 5 year run. Who had the greatest run in that time span. For my money it was Fedor Emelianenko who destroyed all comers.

Jon Jones is the greatest athlete to fight. GSP had a crazy run.

Don't think he is anywhere near the top 5 but his undefeated run in Pride was surreal to watch

Anderson seemed the most unbeatable at his peak. The effortless front kick knockout of Vitor was something that no other fighter in history could have done.

Jon Jones had a crazy stretch where he was finishing former champs and future hall of famers one after the other.

he is the greatest by a wide margin

Islam is in the midst of an insane run. If he beats Topuria he should be in this convo

Islam will end up with the greatest run.

Another insane run is Alexander Volk.

Go look at Volks resume.

The big 4 seems to be Fedor,JJ, Anderson, GSP and it depends on who you ask.

Right now if you disregard him getting positive for PEDs, I’d say JJ then Islam. Yes I put Islam above GSP bc Islam is more skilled. Sure they both got fluke KOed/TKOed. But GSP got outskilled by Matt hughes once by losing Via arm bar. If Islam somehow gets arm barred, I’ll move him below GSP. Anderson just has too many losses. Him showboating and then getting KOed by Weidman. I can’t get that out if my head. Fedor gets there got being an OG.

The Pride’s “rules” were the best, way better than UFC’s rules. Which makes what Fedor did so special/crazy

Anderson Silva from 06-2013 was insane. Destroyed Leben in his debut, nearly killed Rich Franklin twice. Moved to 205 and ko’ed James Irvin almost immediately then abused former light heavyweight champ Forrest Griffen.

Islams run is up there with him… wouldn’t take much to convince me islams run is even better if I’m being honest.
