In no particular order: Fedor Emelianenko Frank Shamrock Chuck Liddell Georges St-Pierre Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Matt Hughes Wanderlei Silva Kazushi Sakuraba Randy Couture Anderson Silva
Shamrock was better than Hendo, even tho this is only submission grappling, you still have to favour a prime Shamrock to beat Henderson. Frank was 1 of the best ever, very complete, perhaps the best fighter to ever fight in UFC, certainly top 5.
first of ll i would not put Frank Shamrock in my top 20. it's impossible to make a comparison with fighter from differnet times in the sport. You can't say a prime Nogueira would beat prime Rikson Gracie, but without a prime Rikson Gracie Noguiera's fighting style or mma as we know it would not exist, Dan Henderson is a more coplete fighter than Shamrock but because Frank fought like 15 years ago if a fighter new BJJ or had crazy stand up skills he would win the fight 7/10 times.
1. Big mistake to not have Frank in your top 20, the guy was really good at his peak. 2. I never said who would win between Nog & Rickson, 2 of my all time fav fighters, I put Nog in my top 10 because he faced better fighters from what Ive seen, Im 1 of the few that believe Rickson is not a myth, the man was a grappling genius, I just wish he came over to the US 10 yrs younger & hung around to fight (& beat) the best guys. 3. Henderson is nowhere near as complete as Frank Shamrock, Frank was a submission master, good wrestler & trained both boxing AND kickboxing where as most choose 1 or the other. He had no weaknesses, I doubt very seriously that Frank would get submitted by anyone under HWT, Dan got choked by Andy Silva, a ****in 1 armed choke.
that just shows how intelligent you are, have you ever seen GSP's resume?? he has avenged his only 2 loses brutally and beat "the greatest welterweight of all time" like a redheaded step child.:-(
yep, it has no sense. GSP did beat more top 10 fighter than Penn or even A.Silva. And if he talk about talent alone and not accomplishement, it's plain stupid. GSP is as talented or more talented than Penn.
:rofl:rofl:rofl:roflatsch Submission grappling match with BJJ practitioner vs a wrestler. Hmmm, who would win :nut Henderson destroyes Frank prime for prime, without hesitation.
