Twenty greatest mma fighters

Fedor then Nog. Followed by who cares way down the list.

 

Chuck above anderson? mark coleman and no rich franklin. but otherwise not bad.

 

01 Fedor Emelianenko
02 Georges St Pierre
03 Bj Penn
04 Anderson Silva
05 Chuck Liddell
06 Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
07 Kazushi Sakuraba
08 Randy Couture
09 Tito Ortiz
10 Wanderlei Silva
11 Bas Rutten
12 Frank Shamrock
13 Matt Hughes
14 Quinton Jackson
15 Dan Henderson

If you're talking about skill vs. impact/influence

 

Erm

Not being funny here, BJ Penn is the p4p #1 or #2 in MMA history, only Fedor could you argue comes close because he's beaten fighters at a bigger size than him.

People rankings Anderson and GSP higher than him, what fighters of much bigger size have they beaten? Seeing as p4p means if the fighters were same size who would win?

IMO if the top fighters (fedor, spider, gsp, penn) were the same size Penn would be the #1

 

No offense man, but this list is garbage. You have Henderson, Sakuraba, Hughes, St. Pierre, F. Shamrock ext. above Bas Rutten? You know Rutten destroyed F. Shamrock right?

 

Is this based on ability because Rickson should be over Royce.... Sakuraba, Nogueira & Penn should be way higher up the list too.

No1 is correct.

 

Difficult to do but here`s mine......

Fedor Emelianenko
Kazushi Sakuraba
BJ Penn
Wanderlei Silva
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
Shogun Rua
Anderson Silva
Randy Couture
Chuck Liddell
Georges St Pierre
Frank Shamrock
Matt Hughes
Rampage Jackson
Dan Henderson
Tito Ortiz
Vitor Belfort
Rickson Gracie (would be much higher if he left Brazil earlier IMHO, had his best yrs in Brazil)
Renzo Gracie
Pat Militech
Mark Coleman



:good

 

Sakuraba is a much better choice than Randy.

 

Shamrock wasnt half the fighter he would become when that happened tho + Frank still managed a win over a seasoned Rutten in his FIRST NHB fight.
Frank Shamrock of the UFC is one of the most complete & athletic fighters to ever grace the game, he should have kept going then instead of retiring, he could have easily been top 5.

Sakuraba is streets ahead of Rutten p4p at their best, c`mon man :-(

 

Are you serious man? Sakuraba? He got his head knocked off 3 times vs. Silva, there is no way he would survive a round with Bas Rutten. Sakuraba was a punching bag. His claim to fame was beating a injured Royce Gracie?

 

Couture can't go that high. Too many losses me thinks.

Hughes cannot be above GSP.

BJ should be higher because he is dominating 155 now and was a quality 2 weight fighter despite fighting the 2 best 170s ever while being out of shape.

Nog should be higher. He's only lost to Fedor who is the best ever. He's got a win over his victors other than Mir. The Mir loss is still to be decided. Was he ready to fight, was he shot, did he just lose etc
