Despite the roster boasting several legendary world champions and competitors across four disciplines, the post quickly revealed the most popular picks.

Three megastars that consistently appeared in fans' responses were former ONE flyweight Muay Thai world champion 'The Iron Man' Rodtang Jitmuangnon, ex-ONE flyweight MMA kingpin Demetrious Johnson, and Stamp Fairtex, who held the atomweight crowns in Muay Thai, MMA, and kickboxing.

"Rodtang - The face of ONE Championship and the most entertaining and dangerous fighter. DJ - GOAT, no further explanation needed. Stamp - The only fighter in the organization to hold a belt in 3 different rulesets [Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and MMA]."

Meanwhile, another Instagram user, who goes by the handle @theginofelino shared:

"Rodtang, stamp, and Mighty are indisputable. Few good arguments for the fourth spot."

Several users made compelling cases for ONE lightweight Muay Thai world champion Regian 'The Immortal' Eersel and ONE flyweight kickboxing king 'The Kicking Machine' Superlek Kiatmoo9, highlighting their dominance across different weight classes.

Other names that sprung up during the debate in the comment section included the likes of former ONE atomweight MMA world champion Angela Lee, former two-division MMA world champion Aung La N Sang, and current lightweight and welterweight king Christian Lee.
