Reem has announced his retirement. The former K-1 WGP champion, Strikeforce and Dream heavyweight champ has called it a career. He’s also said he’s vegetarian now. Good on him.
Realizing that a lot of y’all might not have seen it in 2010, so if you get the chance go watch through Reem’s run in the K-1 Grand Prix.

Alistair Overeem gave the most lowkey retirement announcement ever. It was very much in passing.
Fair play.
He's left the game with his facilities intact it seems.

MMA GOATS - Blog 1
The question “Who is the greatest of all time” or “Who’s the G.O.A.T” has always been a question asked anytime people are great at the things they do. In the realm of MMA especially, this question is one of the most heated and argued you could try and answer because of how the game is constantly evolving along with the fighters and their styles and also because of the sheer amount of fighters that have come and gone throughout the history of MMA. But in my list, I’ll chose fighters that I think are undeniably great that they stick out from the rest. So I'm going to try and rank all of the greatest fighters based on their achievements, what they brought and or meant to the sport of MMA and based on how they inspired me to get into combat sports.
In my goat tier list, the fighters are going to be placed between 1 and 10 with ten being the absolute top goat of MMA and one being at the bottom respectively. Also, each spot can and probably will hold more than one person because I believe that there has been too much talent throughout the history of MMA just to be put into a top 10.
With all that out of the way I want to state some of my honorable mentions before I start the list.
Maurício “Shogun” Rua
Shogun Rua is definitely a great, competing in Pride where he held wins over big names such as Rampage Jackson, Alistair Overeem and Big Nog. It’s more because of who he took out and the age he did it that I find impressive enough to have me place him here, but definitely other have done it better.
Wanderlei Silva “Axe Murderer”
Fighting for reasons to be desirable, Wanderlei is one that sits comfortably in honorable mentions for claiming the middleweight championship at Pride, holding title defenses and competing for multiple grand prix. I find his story compelling and his drive being the aspect I wish I had (plus his nickname is cool).
TJ Dillashaw
Arguably the best bantamweight champion the UFC had for his time, being a two time champion with multiple title defenses and an unrivaled underdog story. He’s here because he was the first great champion in his division so I almost feel obliged, but in my opinion is not the best in regards to the people that came after him.
“Big Nog” Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira
The big brother and other half of “Little Nog”, Big Nog fought in early Japanese fight promotion alongside people like Fedor and later fought in UFC and Pride. I think it’s his rivalry with his brother he always end up winning against that I can relate to.
Alistair Overeem
Another name that deserves a place in honorable mentions, a man who learned martial arts to defend himself from bullies and held multiple heavyweight champion titles and the first to hold world titles in MMA and kickboxing at the same time. He’s here because he’s the first on the list that has reached double champ status, but did so in a division at a time that I think was pretty simple and boring, lacking technique and skill (but still, something about 200 pound men kickboxing makes for great entertainment that I’ll get my attention).
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson
Rampage Jackson started as a wrestler at the age of 17, eventually trying out MMA after the success of other wrestlers, something that led to him getting multiple championships in the likes of UFC and Pride. Overall, he a great fighter but a better personality and I find him to be just a likeable person.
Chael Sonnen “The American Gangster”
Chael was a notorious figure during the early days of UFC in 1997 and a great villain for the scene, deserving a mention for not just his skill but his trash-talk and the eyes he brought to the game even though he never won a title. The only reason he’s here and not on the top is that I want to give a chance to the other fighters to be on my goat list of MMA, otherwise he would take over the entire thing.

You know what makes 100x more sense than Jones vs. Gane for the belt on UFC 285? Pavlovich vs. Gane. You know, Pavlovich, who's been active (3-0) through 2022. Pavlovich, whose last 5 fights have been first-round KO/TKO finishes. Pavlovich, who's got 14/17 pro-wins by KO/TKO, and 3 by Unanimous Decision. Pavlovich, whose only pro-loss was to ALISTAIR FUCKIN OVEREEM. Pavlovich, who's not had any issues passing tests administered by the USADA.
But no, let's let this loser fight for one of the highest-regarded MMA titles, that seems bright.

Alistair Overeem selling out his trans son to look good for a bunch of chuds on a podcast is quintessential Overeem.
