    Hey guys...out of curiosity , if you had to select 5 fighters (i don't care about the weight division or organisation) to "represent" the sport , who would you pick ?

    Now , i'm of course talking about the cream of the crop of mma here...Don't necessarily select a guy cause he's got a nice attitude and don't do the opposite either...(if the guy's an *******...it's still no reason to ignore him if he happens to be very skilled) (perfect example of this in boxing is Mayweather...He may be a ****. But he's a skilled boxer)...

    In other words , don't let any personal traits of a fighter influence your selection.. Just base your selection on talent and that's it.

    ps: they can be from any eras and precise if you're talking about a "prime" or "past prime".

    For example , if we'd be talking about kickboxing , my top 5 would be
    (prime) Aerts
    (prime) Hoost
    (prime) Le Banner
    (prime) Ignashov
    (prime) Hug
