At LHW probably around 10-12 all time, at MW maybe top 25-30. Amongst all fighters I'd put him around 50-55.
Looking for a crew

He was really good and then fell off hard. Sad because you wanted to see a karate user excel.

tough to say. early on he looked unbeatable, but he was on dat dere. but he started to get old, got off dat dere and facing better competition and started losing.
he was never quite on the level of top middleweights imo like Weidman, Silva, Rockhold. he has alot of good wins but a lot of losses against top guys. 15-8 in the UFC. He did win the belt and defended it at one point but that was at LHW. So he's probably top 10 in that division all time.positivity brah crew

Hard to say but he was a legend in the most fun era of mma and that's a good enough legacy.

One of the GOATs, my personal all time favourite.
There was a time when he was literally untouchable. Andy Silva in his prime is higher on the GOAT list than Chida but lets not beat around the bush, if they fought each other around 2010, Chida would be the likely winner.
Did someone say the likes of Rockhold are higher on the GOAT list?

If HE looks like a SHE, it is acceptable.

I'll never forget where I was when Shogun brutally flattened Lyoto
