    I'm assuming mma success is relative. Otherwise we'll be seeing names like James Toney for boxing.

    Boxing- Penn

    Wrestling- Couture and Sakuraba.

    Thai Boxing- Though he never got to fight in many matches where elbows were legal, I think Cro Cop would still have held his own if given the opportunity.

    BJJ- Rickson didn't really fight under today's rules, and Roger hasn't stepped un in class yet, so I'm going to have to go with Penn. Penn is a Mundial champion, and is one of the greatest mma fighters ever. If Maia wins a few more significant fights, I may give it to him. Jacare could one day claim this as well.

    For the record I think has the best Muay Thai in MMA, even better than Silva. If we are talking about just kickboxing/striking then I think Overeem/Silva are tied first with Aldo third.

    Aaron Tru and Lee Honish would give him a run for his money when it comes to worst MMAist ever.

    I often forget about Wandy because he opted to go for a more brawling style but he did have good Muay Thai also.

    but no Aldo for Muay Thai?
