Many great fights to be seen. Start with the Grace family. In the early days of MMA, nobody had an answer for thier BJJ. Also, look for Pride Fighting Championships on DVD. Some of the best fights ever took place in Pride. Anything with Fedor will be good.

His suggestion was much better than mine.:thumbsup

 

Yes Fedor is the best. Many people can debate that, and do. But the facts are that nobody has ever stopped him. His stand up is very good with KO power, and he is a master on the ground. Trained in Russian Combat Sambo. Very humble man, and NEVER disrespects his oppenents.

 

Fedor is usually considered the greatest MMA fighter of all time. He has beaten virtually everyone of note, but never entered the UFC. Casual fans usually hold this against him as he has never the UFC belt, but hardcore MMA fans are generally pretty disdainful of the current UFC heavyweight division and say that his PRIDE title was much more meaningful.

Here's a quick highlight for you to get a measurement of his skillset:

Edit: Changed the video

 

Yeah Diego is still the goods. He's finally fighting for a title in december when he challenges BJ Penn for the lightweight title. That's gonna be a great fight. Might be one of the best fights at lightweight in UFC history. Penn is the favorite but don't underestimate Sanchez. I've got a funny feeling about that one.

Anderson Silva is one of the top 2 best fighters in MMA. You should definately check him out. Watch his UFC fights vs Chris Leben, both fights vs Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson, & Forrest Griffin. He's like an MMA version of a prime Roy Jones Jr. He does everything with ease, he's that good.

Fedor is bascially the best of the best. He's IMO the greatest fighter in MMA history, and to be honest it's his ability to take punishement that's most scary about him. The guy keeps a straight face and never changes expression, he's like a cyborg, and excellent at taking advantage of his opponents mistakes. He can knock you, he can submit you, he can pound you out, he can do it all. I don't think their's a fighter alive right now regardless of any sport that can beat him.

Yup Diego is one of the top Lightweights out there and is challenging the Champion BJ Penn in December for that title. Id suggest you go watch Diegos fights with Nick Diaz, Karo Parysian and Clay Guida they are 3 classic fights in which Diego wins. Id also say watch Diego vs Joe Riggs its a rare brutal KO for Diego.

Anderson Silva is arguablly the best p4p fighter in MMA and without a doubt its best striker. Anderson is the Middleweight Champ and has been for 3 years now and even trashes strong Light Heavyweights watch his UFC bouts vs Chris Leben, Rich Franklin 1, Travis Lutter, Nate Marquardt, Rich Franklin 2, Dan Henderson, James Irvin and Forrest Griffin in that order they are mostly very violent assaults.

Fedor is easily IMO the greatest currently and all time Heavyweight wise and even p4p. The man has no legitmate loss on his record and is so consistently dominant. Watch him vs Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira both times, Mirko Cro Cop, Gary Goodridge, Fujita, Tim Sylvia, Andrei Arlovski, Kevin Randleman or pretty much anyone he is incredible. BTW he fights November 7th on CBS so look out.

 

Georges St-Pierre is probably the best fighter in the UFC. He don't destroy people quickly like Silva, but IMO he is facing way better opposition, and dominate them just as bad. He never lost a round minus the TKO of Serra and the sub of Hughes and the first round of Penn. The full first round of Penn vs St-PIerre, is his only round lost. You could make a case about him losing the first round to Koscheck too.
St-Pierre has the best resume of the UFC by far
Alves, Fitch, Penn(2), Hughes(2), Serra, Koscheck, Trigg, Sherk, Parisyan, Miller, Hieron, Spratt
