Well, I think this is only having to do with UFC title runs, so his japan stuff gets thrown out, but yes, I still think overall he was a better champion. Finished all of his defenses and had more than Chris. I like Weidman, but he won the lottery, catching Silva while he was getting played with, then defended with a freak accident. Then goes on to beat a hardly deserving Machida and a non TRT Vitor. Shamrock wins.

This one must have been voted o by people that only know modern fighters and have no knowledge of MMA history. Frank is the model of the modern MMA fighter, ahead of his time. Fought and won in Japan when that was where all the dominant fighters. Then came over here and defeated Tito Ortiz when he was in his prime. Chris Weidman caught Anderson at the end of his career and land a hook when Anderson was playing with him. After losing his title he went on a 4 fight losing streak.
