One of the more popular debates in MMA is “Who is the greatest fighter of all-time?”
The fighters in that “GOAT” discussion usually include Georges St-Pierre, Demetrious Johnson, Fedor Emelianenko, Jon Jones, and Anderson Silva. Strength of opponent, numer of successful title defenses, success in multiple weight classes, and clean drug testing history are among the criteria used when ranking the legends of the sport. For longtime trainer Firas Zahabi, he believes there’s a clear #1 without question, and that’s GSP.
“He’s No. 1, no doubt about it,” said Zahabi (transcript via MMA Fighting).
