Choosing who earns the pole position on an MMA Mount Rushmore often leaves fans with one of the few options.
For many, the clear choice for the goat of the Sport Jones, who, after he became the heavyweight champion, further confirmed his legacy.
Joe Rogan shares the opinion that Jones is the best to ever do it, but there are other names that have achieved incredible things at the top of the sport.
The will of Georges St-Pierre, Anderson Silva and Demetrious Johnson all rank for both their performances and the lifespan of their success.
For Rafael Fiziev, who returns to UFC 313 to see Justin Gaethje in a rematch, there is another box to tap that he believes it separates a nominee from the others.

Rafael Fiziev mentions Khabib Nurmagomedov as his greatest of all time
In a recent interview with TNT Sports on UFC 313 Fight Week, Rafael Fiziev was asked to give Quickfire answers to some major topics.
The very first question with which 'Ataman' was confronted was to choose with whom he believes it is the greatest of all time in MMA and his answer was somewhat surprising.
Although many believe that Jon Jones should have an unbeaten record because his one loss was a controversial disqualification for a rule that is no longer maintained, there is only one big champion that left the sport without ever tasting the defeat.
Khabib Nurmagomedov did not have the same enormous title government as some of the other names fighting for most people, but although he can fall behind in some statistics, there is one of which FIZ thinks this makes an easy selection.
With three defenses of the UFC light weight under his belt, 'The Eagle' decided to retire after the death of his father and coach, running away from the Octagon with a perfect record of 29-0.
That one fact alone, for Fiziev, brings Nurmagomedov to its own bracket.
“The man who never lost, one man. It's Khabib. “
Rafael Fiziev calls Justin Gaethje vs Max Holloway as the best fight and knockout he has seen
Later in the Quickfire questions, Rafael Fiziev was asked to name the best fight he has ever seen and the best knockout with both answers from the same iconic collision at UFC 300.
The meeting of Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway for the BMF title last year would always deliver an entertaining competition, but even with high expectations it blew them out of the water.
Holloway produced one of the most breathtaking knockouts in UFC history by facing 'the highlight' in the last seconds of the fight 'The highlight'.
On UFC 313 on March 8, Gaethje is overlooking the profit column when he makes his return to a late notification Rematch with Fiziever from whom he barely got it better at UFC 286.
