    Is it the GSP-BJ Penn fights?

    I mean, if you're making a top-10 p4p MMA ATG list, then GSP and BJ are both on there.

    And there's more than a few who say that those guys are two of the five best MMA fighters to ever compete. :conf

    Hughes vs GSP and Fedor vs Nogueira. Penn was never a ATG welterweight

    I rank Fedor #1 of all-time and Big Nog #4 of all-time, therefore Fedor vs Nog is the highest level ever in terms of ATGs involved.

    Fedor v Nogueira

    You rank GSP and Silva above Nogueira I take it?
    I think Andersons MW division has been poor. Cant argue with St Pierre though.

    I think the answer is currently Fedor and Nogueira.

    I suppose there was a time when Sakuraba and Royce Gracie would have been considered as such.

    I wonder if our next fight like that will come from the 155lb division.

    Hughes-GSP is a good shout.

    The greatest welterweight ever up to that point against the greatest welterweight ever going forward.
