    ^^^^^^^^^^

    I agree with most of your choices but Barnett doesn't have great takedowns.

    I forgot about Yamamoto. What about Hughes for GnP? Looking for #2 behind Fedor.

    Change leg kicks to Keith Jardine and I agree 100%.

    Also, I think Anderson Silva and Lidell tie for Hardest person to keep on the ground.

    GSP definetly does not have the best takedowns. u forgetting about randleman? or coleman? or any of the other great wrestlers. GSP is great but not the best in takedowns

    Randleman and Coleman were good.. in their time.

    They don't compare to GSP now.

    I guessed you missed the fights against Hughes, Kosckeck, Sherk and Penn...nobody has ever taken these guys down like GSP has.

    Randlelan couldn't take down Rampage, and Coleman is an old man. They are better, or at least more accomplished, pure wrestlers yes, but in MMA none of their stuff has impressed me as much in the takedown department as GSP. He absolutely overpowers and out-wrestles the very best wrestlers out there. I've seen nothing like him in MMA. All that's needed for him is to avenge his loss to Serra, which he WILL do, mark my words.
