I like participating on the MMA forum, but I don't know the posters here as well as I do in the Classic & General, and the best way to know about someone is to know their top guys. My favourite 10 fighters of all-time are thus: (in no order) BJ Penn Lyoto Machida Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira Antonio Rogerio Nogueira Shinya Aoki Fedor Emelianenko Dan Henderson Kazushi Sakuraba Nate Diaz How about you guys? :bbb
Not going to include Brit's because I just want to look at the guys who grabbed my attention by their performances. Shogun, Maia, Mayhem, Overeem, Fedor, BJ, Wanderlei, Jon Jones, Bas Rutten, GSP.
