    I´d say Werdum but after Mir-Nog II I´m not so sure anymore. Barnett hasn´t got the submission skills of Mir or Werdum but he´s special because of his wrestling there aren´t many submission fighters in mma with his level of wrestling

    I'd go with Werdum, his guard when he is not tired is a place that nobody wants to be and Werdum on top is bad news.

    Not sure, I think it depends which version of each shows up. They all are extremely dangerous on the ground, but I'd have to say Werdum right now.

    I think Mir when hes on song..Has used his Bjj skills in MMA very well.. literally going from looking like being stopped to winning via sub in matter of seconds.

    Maybe Barnett on top and Werdum from the bottom.

    Werdum has the most complete ground game IMO of the 3. Mir has the edge when it comes to just being a dynamic submission artist.

    Werdum, then Mir, with Barnett last and only in that order because Barnett hasn't submitted the calibre of opponent that the other two have.

    Mir is more of a "Mir is stunned, he's down! He's out! HOLY **** WHERE DID THAT ****ING COME FROM!!" artist... Werdum has beautiful flowing Jits and Barnett is a "violent catch wrestler" lol

    Barnett couldn't even put a scratch on Gilbert Yvel despite having the mount for more than 8 minutes (I believe) and top position for the vast majority of their fight (decision win for Barnett). The fact that he's even in this discussion is a joke.

    Barnett submitted Yvel with strikes, but I agree with a lot of what you're saying.

    You are correct, I misremembered it as going to a decision probably because it was a horrid display of top control when he was supposedly fighting for his #1 Heavyweight Contender spot for fighting Fedor after Fedor just beat Sylvia. I just remember how amazingly unimpressive he was in that fight, especially considering who he was fighting.
