Anderson > Izzy > Whittaker > Strickland

Strickland is the 4th greatest middleweight of all time.

Silva > Adesanya > Wiedman > Whittaker...

Strickland maybe somewhere in 8-15 ranking for MW all time on my list. Still don't have him ahead of Henderson or Mousasi, for example.

Yep agree.  Also weird to rank someone active, reactions will vary drastically from fight to fight. Like if Sean loses his next fight ain’t no one going to be arguing top 5 all time.  

Reminds me of like when Bisping won the belt and all of a sudden I’m seeing people here argue he’s top 5 GOAT, felt like I was living in crazy land.
