    What's up, fight fans!?!? Thanks for watching! I just wanted to touch on Stipe Miocic not being on the list as I see a few of you mentioned him. The reason he was not included is because he is still creating his legacy, where as everybody else on this list has been firmly etched in stone, even the active fighters that appeared. If Stipe didn't still have some potentially major chapters left in his career, her certainly could have warranted inclusion!

      @@wikz8480 Because the UFC never wanted him as their Heavyweight champion, let alone be the greatest in company history. They deliberately underpromoted him in the hopes he'd be dethroned by a popular fighter who was also a company man like Daniel Cormier. Unfortunately for Stipe and his devoted fanbase, DC pulled off the upset and just like that the UFC was already down to promote the next fight between DC and Brock Lesnar for the belt conveniently forgetting Stipe even existed. Ultimately the Lesnar fight fell through, DC snuck in a defence against Derrick Lewis and the UFC had no choice but to book the rematch between DC and Stipe, which Stipe won of course after a hard-fought battle. But the story didn't end there, DC wanted an immediate rematch himself so they booked the trilogy which Stipe also won after another hard-fought battle.
      The UFC is vindictive and petty towards fighters who don't tow the promotional line. Stipe is one of those, and the promotion will cheat them out of an appropriate salary and superstardom leading to them being underappreciated by the casual fanbase. A similar thing is happening with Francis Ngannou, which is funny because he was the monster Dana White and the UFC helped create.

      I think what he meant was that Randy was the only fighter to win back his title in an immediate rematch. Between Randy getting his belt back against Vitor and recently Figgy against Moreno, believe it or not every champion lost the immediate rematch. And yes while Stipe did get his belt back, the rematch wasn't technically immediate because DC snuck in a short notice title defence against Derrick Lewis. And yes Stipe did deserve to belong on this list, I'd argue in place of Amanda Nunes because her (baffling) loss to Pena is a blemish.
      Rose is still building her legacy, when its all said and done I think her career will be regarded as a successful one and she'll go down as one of the WMMA greats. Jones though has tarnished his legacy by thrice failing drug tests like a drug cheat and his countless transgressions outside the cage.
