In the eclectic world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), where fighters from diverse backgrounds and disciplines converge to create a spectacle of unparalleled intensity, the debate around the greatest of all-time is as fervent as the battles within the octagon.
In a recent candid conversation, host, Ice Bagz co-hosts UFC veteran Sam Alvey and Twitter influencer MacMally, and special guest Platinum Mike Perry, delved into this enduring debate, offering insights that are as diverse as they are profound.
Sam Alvey’s reverence for Georges St-Pierre and Demetrious Johnson is rooted in a recognition of their multifaceted skill set, a blend of technical prowess, strategic acumen, and unyielding resilience.
In the world of MMA, where every fight is a test of both physical and mental fortitude, fighters like St. Pierre and Johnson embody a holistic mastery that sets them apart.
Yet, the narrative of greatness is enriched by diverse perspectives. Mac and Mike Perry’s endorsement of Jon Jones and Khabib Nurmagomedov is a testament to the indomitable spirit and skill of these fighters. “Jon Jones and Khabib,” Mac and Perry echoed, illuminating a sentiment that resonates with a significant faction of the MMA community.
Perry’s insights into the dominance of wrestling in MMA offer a nuanced perspective. “It’s wrestling that’s dominant in this sport of MMA. Whoever can get the top position and whoever doesn’t get put on their back, that’s the winner,” Perry opined.
In a sport where every movement, strike, and hold is a complex interplay of skill, strategy, and strength, wrestling emerges as a foundational pillar, a discipline that often tilts the scales of victory.

The conversation took an intriguing turn when Perry brought up Combat Night MMA champion Val Woodburn. Fighting Bo Nickal on four days’ notice a UFC 290, Woodburn’s courage and readiness to step into the octagon encapsulate the unyielding spirit that defines MMA fighters.
It’s a narrative that transcends the statistics, the victories, and the defeats, venturing into the realm of the intangible, where the spirit of the fighter is as celebrated as their physical prowess.
As the dialogue unfolded, a tapestry of greatness was woven, where fighters like St. Pierre, Johnson, Jones, and Khabib are not just individual entities but integral threads in the intricate narrative of MMA. Each fighter, with their unique skill set, style, and spirit, contributes to the evolving saga of the sport.
In the reflections of Alvey, Mac, and Perry, the MMA community is invited to a dialogue that is as diverse as it is unifying. It’s a conversation that transcends the boundaries of individual preferences, venturing into a collective celebration of the fighters who have graced the octagon, each leaving an indelible imprint on the sport.
The greatest of all-time is not just a title; it’s a narrative, enriched by the diverse voices, perspectives, and insights of fighters, aficionados, and fans. In this narrative, the spirit of MMA is celebrated, where every punch, kick, hold, and victory is a chapter in the enduring saga of a sport that continues to captivate, inspire, and unite the world in the mesmerizing dance of combat.
