Reason I excluded Anderson (albeit not fair) was how vicious his early losses were, especially to Shogun. The head stomp ko I still think is one of the 5 best ko's ever. If I could of had more choices he would of been on it, no doubt. His UFC run was epic.

/edit

It was the same reason I excluded Overeem too. Should of included them 2 instead of attempts to be funny with last two.

he never lost to shogun?

He didnt!

My memory failed me on that. I was thinking of one of the 1st 4 losses of Anderson Silva's career. I was thinking he was one Shogun's headstomp stoppages in Pride. Which is all a mute point because I said "prime," and Anderson Silva's prime he was one of the best strikers ever.

Thank you Jumanji8.

yeah that was rampage

Spider did get flying-scissor-heel-hooked by the legend Ryo Chonan though

was epic, similar to what Silva did to Chael was what Ryo did to Silva many years before
