    Who are the top ten current best and all-time MMA fighters?

    Simple question, as I am fairly new to MMA I am very curious what the masses think about who the current and all-time greats are.

    Current I would say:

    1. Fedor Emelianenko
    2. Georges St Pierre
    3. Anderson Silva
    4. Miguel Torres
    5. Lyoto Machida
    6. BJ Penn
    7. Mike Brown
    8. Thiago Alves
    9. Quinton 'Ramapge' Jackson
    10.Rashad Evans


    The number 10 spot is really quite wide open for me at the moment. I could easily have put Urijah Faber there. Also if Gegard Mousasi beats Babalu at the next Affliction show he would crack the top 10 for me.

    Yeah. Him and Rashad are pretty interchangeable at the mo. Faber will get back in there should he beat Mike Brown this weekend. For me the reason Faber didn't get straight back on the list is because the guy who he beat after his loss to Mike Brown, was a guy he had already beaten easily and an old fighter in Jens Pulver. If he had fought a new name and a fresh young contender he would have probably made it back on.

    Fedor Emelianenko is the top on every single person's list as the all-time greatest. I look forward to seeing him fight live one of these days!
