As you say everyone is entitled to his opinion; that's why I dont understand why you keep denying objective facts.
Marquardt was at least ranked top5-10 for about a decade, from early 2000s to early 2010s.
This is a fact. You can say "it's true but I still dont consider him elite", but stop trying to deny an objective fact with nothing to back it up except saying "I dont care because I know better" which sounds nothing but pretentious and clueless at the same time
Mousasi is an all-time great, he will retire as such, even if he now went on a losing skid from here.Arguably the best fighter that has ever come out from Europe. You thinking anybody who is not in that level can't be considered an elite fighter is fukin dumb. Im sure not even Mousasi would agree with your pretentious, elitist, take on the matter.
You have completely ignore a site that ranks Marquardt around top5 for a decade. And now you bring another site that also top ranked Marquard for a long time, not a brief period of time as you pretend. You just dont make any sense. You dont even try,
By the way I already told you English is not my first languate, you caring about if I say "pretty much" or any other word with similar meaning is dumb and childish on your part.
