If you think Vitor Belfort has a better resume or is a better fighter than Amanda Nunes, you probably suffered a very recent head wound.
Dan Tom is an MMA writer who’s opinion I respect, so I’m going to share his all time GOAT list for Brazilian fighters in the UFC. Presumably made to celebrate the UFC’s return to Rio.
I think these list serve better as historical markers and places to share context than some subjective ranking of accomplishment and skill. A good way to commemorate the sport we love and I think Tom does a good job of this.

Lists like this are designed to be quibbled with, but there’s some weird stuff going on where some fighters runs out of the UFC are factored in more than others.
Oh, and I reject pretty much any list that has Anderson Silva at the top of it.

Baffled that a person is doing a Dan Severn history thread on Twitter and a) I can’t imagine what would compel a person to do that and b) everything you need to know about Dan Severn you already know.

Gonna be a big comedown from those Saudi stadium paydays when Francis fights Ferreira in front of 9 fans and the tv crew in a tarpped off Hulu Theatre.
Renan Ferreira KOs Ryan Bader instantly! He will face Francis Ngannou when he returns to MMA.
Ferreira secured himself a $2 million payday after getting the $1 million payday last year for winning the PFL heavyweight title. Props to Ferreira for saving
Cross counter over the jab of the shorter Ryan Bader sends Bader to the mat and while there was some controversy around the follow up shots, it was clear Ferreira won. He saved Sefo's honor!
