This sounds like an advertisement for Spike that was handed down from the UFC to MMA Weekly

Nope. Nothing handed down from UFC. Blog post of our own accord.

Achilles vs Theseus (the one who singlehandedly defeated the minotaur of crete).This would have to be the greatest two warriors i would think.

But everyone knows the most powerful beast ever is the behemoth as it can only be slain by god(but it's not a warrior).

Wanderlei was the best when he was in pride but now he is slowing down.

I was looking forward to this show but it turned out to be very lame. It was like an hour long infomercial for the UFC. The "experts" talking smack to each other was really silly and hyped to artificially dramatize the debate. Silly show overall. I had high hopes for it.

i agree the show was more hype than substance. the ending was week, the roman should have finished him

^ I think the Apache experts talking smack was genuine. If you think about it historically the gladiators were Romans, and Italy eventually contributed a great deal to the genocide of the Native Americans. If I was them and some white dudes were talking trash about my people's fighting techniques compared to the Roman's I'd be pissed
