    This argument was settled long ago.

    Although he has double digit losses, he has huge wins including multiple title runs and is the most beloved fighter of all-time.

    Nobody says he's the best of all-time, but considering the whole package, he's one of the most key figures in the sports history.
    Hendo wasnt as charismatic as Randy. Randys age and dramatic fashion made those fights huge.

    Randys name was much bugger but Hendo has never really been out of elite status.

    And frankly nothing on Randys highlight reel tops this....nothing says mount Rushmore and Captain America better than knocking the shit out of a stupid Brit.

    Even Chuck wouldnt be up there, he fought in a weak LHW division, of the best were in Pride, Shogun had a better career than Chuck

    Who gives a hoot when someone started watching. You like to throw that card around meanwhile theres noone more biased than you are.

    Chuck was never even the number 1 in his division, not even close to number 1 fighter in the world

    Royce was the number 1 fighter in the sport for years, Shogun was a top P4P fighter in the sport, and now is still number 1 in his division

    Royce, Sakuraba, Shogun, Fedor, And1, GSP, Hughes > Chuck and Randy

    Hendo > Randy easily

    Kimbo Slice had a greater 'impact' than the majority of MMA fighters, so just stop with the casual fan, mainstream, BS and talk like a fan of the sport
    Im pretty sure Mount Rushmore presidents were chosen based on popularity and helping the growth and expansion of the U.S. So the point about Randy are more than valid.

    Even with that if your going mount "rushmore" is there a cut off ? Isnt it more of a "forefathers" argument ? GSP/Shogun seem out of place on that list.

    Hendo fought in two weight classes and has a stupid resume.
    Hughes dominated a division.

    Id give it to Hendo but I can see the argument for Hughes.



    Royce , Fedor , are locks.

    Shamrock, Rutten , Ortiz, Liddell , Hendo , Sakuraba , Wandy , Hughes ,Randy.

    Off the top of my head all those guys started in the 90s making them still part of that old guard.
    Which two had the best combination of success/impact/fame ?
    Best reason to have a license.
