Royce was an OG and a pioneer for the sport, but Im not sure he belongs.

Fedor has a bit of an asterisk, as we never got to see him compete in the UFC.

Anderson Silva and Jon Jones should take their spot, but can be tricky with failed drug tests.

toney was SO cocky. He saw the MMA gloves and said he was worried of killing Randy because of the lack of padding

then randy fucked him up within minutes, lol

no he couldnt lol. Bjj works when your opponent doesnt know how to grapple. But every pro fighter trains in all disciplines now.

He'd be a lower mid-range fighter like Ryan Hall is

Just because a guy got a black belt in BJJ 7 years ago from a random BJJ place, that doesn't put him on the same level as Royce Gracie.

Not targeting you specifically. There have been quite a few mentioned.

shamrock was 28-17
liddel was 21-9, pretty good.
Lesnar was around for the blink of an eye, 5-3
couture 19-11

etc

You dont need to get down in the weeds arguing about Royce, he was a star, had a cultural impact and inspired a lot of people. That should matter more than detritus johnson of pico jones roiding and being handed decisions

i will agree that a lot of fighters get black belts simply for being professional fighters, while probably being barely above a blue belt or something.

but most/all are going to be proficient enough to knock him stiff if he were competing today.
