From Anderson “The Spider” Silva, to St-Pierre, to the Fedor Emelianenko of not-so-long-ago, who’s the greatest of them all?
But first, how do we define “greatness?”
It’s been almost two decades since I heard from my sociology professor that words are “polygenous,” i.e., they consist of or contain many kinds of elements or concepts.
After extensive research (yes, take my word for it), these are the top elements that, more often than not, should be considered to define greatness. These must be the criteria for crowning the greatest in the combat sport of MMA.
