Debates over the greatest UFC fighter of all time ignite passionate arguments among fans, pitting eras, weight classes, and fighting styles against each other in an endless quest for the definitive answer.

A generational talent who turned 12-inch reach and oblique kicks into an art form, dismantling legends like Shogun Rua and Alexander Gustafsson in bouts that still get studied frame-by-frame. The asterisks—failed drug tests, a hit-and-run, missed title defenses—are real, but so is a resume that includes conquering light heavyweight for a decade and then walking up to heavyweight to beat Stipe Miocic. The talent ceiling argument for GOAT starts and ends here, even if the character argument never quite closes.},{
