Who've you got? This is what mine looks like atm, an altered version of Sherdog's. 1 - GSP 2 - Anderson Silva 3 - Jose Aldo 4 - Frankie Edgar 5 - Shogun 6 - Jon Fitch 7 - Jake Shields 8 - Lyoto Machida 9 - BJ Penn 10 - Rashad Evans
1- Hulk Hogan 2- Undertaker 3- HHH 4- Stone Cold 5- Cena 6- Batista 7- The Rock 8- Rick Fair 9- Kurt Angle 10- James Toney
Not really. Not discounting any of Fedor's achievements, I just don't think they're that valuable for the current Heavyweight division. Plus he's a heavyweight anyway and they shouldn't really be in p4p lists.
1- Anderson Silva 2- GSP (very close to AS) 3- Aldo 4- Shogun 5- Werdum 6- Fedor 7- Frankie Edgar 8- Lyoto Machida 9- Lesnar (it's sad but...) 10- Cigano
#1. Anderson Silva 2. Gsp 3. Fedor Emelianenko 4. Jake Sheilds 5. Shogun Rua 6. Jose Aldo 7. Frankie Edgar 8. Dominic Cruz 9. lyoto Machida 10. Gilbert melendez that's it for now :hat
why not Dominic Cruz? and no fedor he goes from 1 to outside the top 10 but BJ penn is still at #6 with two losses in a row. above jake sheilds.atsch and you cant find anybody to place at the 10 spot.atsch
Penn losses 7 fights, including two of his last fights, all the while having less total wins/fights than Fedor. Further more BJ Penn along with all those other fighters in your list doesn't normally get outweighed by 40lbs plus like Fedor normally does, and most in that list needs to cut weight before weigh in just to compete in a lower division. Fedor is really a LHW who fights the best HW and SHW's of this world. He gets outweighed in most of his fights and sometimes gets outweighed by close to 150lbs. Skills wise, Fedor is also the most proven as well as the most well rounded fighter in that list. All these things makes FEDOR = NUMBER 1 P4P.
As usually I agree with you, but one could also argue for GSP right now. All time P4P best is Fedor without a doubt.
Depends on the criteria you use. Looking back at the last six fights and factoring in quality of opposition, performance and dominance George St. Pierre is just miles and miles ahead and has been since Silva's poor performances against Cote and Leites. He's dominanting what's probably the strongest division in the UFC and hasn't had a single 'gimmie' opponent. Silva is second and in a weird both his fights this year have made me rate him as a fighter even more - no-one else could humilate Maia like he did while his come-from-behind victory against Sonnen showed both class and guts. After that it becomes a big chasm until you get to number 3. I like Aldo but I'm not convinced about the strength in depth of his division - it seems so many people who could dominate at 145Ibs stay at lightweight because the money is better (Edgar for one). Shields and Fitch have put together awesome records against relatively decent opposition but they don't really go the extra mile to finish/impress like a P4P contender should. Both also seem overly one-dimensional - I'm not sure either has the 'Plan B' that both Silva and St. Pierre have. This is especially important as both may not be able to takedown St. Pierre which will neutralize most of their game.
No. Just no. Fair enough, he got caught in a triangle, he truly lost for the first time, and it was a silly mistake, but he's no longer p4p #1, especially as a Heavyweight, I don't care what his frame is. Deal with it.
