Yeah I have to say eary days Ken was tops in the UFC, but over time faded and didn't have as impressive a run as Anderson or GSP.

Hughes to me has the most impressive UFC resume after Anderson or GSP, losing to another alltime great in BJ isn't that big of a deal.

after the Dennis Hallman loss in UFC he definitely put it all together beating Newton twice and Sakurai, but Trigg was mediocre and BJ worked him over pretty good. The GSP win looks better everyday but I jjust dont think hughes was all time best talk.

I never listed Ken as the best ever but think he is in the elite when it comes to fighters for consideration, mainly because very rarely can you say ok this guy is clearly the number 1 guy in the world. In the era of NHB and open weight classes Ken was the clear man for nearly 2 years and possibly could have still been the best fight in 1996.

prime i think your selling Kimo a bit short, Ken fought the best Kimo there ever was and pulled off a slick leg submission grabbing Kimos leg when he threw a massive punch.

Maybe he was talking about the rematch when Kimo just ate some knees and went to sleep

I don't have Hughes 1 either, but you can't deny his UFC resume, one of the most impressive and that's what this is about.
