Pound For Pound Best MMA Fighters?

Question

Right now the pound for Pound best MMA fighters are Anderson Sivla, George St.-Pierre, Randy Couture. These 3 are hands down the best of the best and has shown everyone. And possibly Urijah Faber. Any Changes or Add ons???

Answer 1

LYOTO MACHITA 13-0 BABY

Answer 2

I like Faber!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

in my opinion its randy couture

Answer 4

BJ Penn or Takanori Gomi are the best lightweights as of now. Gomi has a better record than Penn, but Penn has already beaten Gomi, so it depends on personal preference who takes that spot.

Faber is good as a featherweight. Torres could be in the running for best Bantamweight. He's 33-1 I believe.

Most people still put Fedor on top for heavyweight (And one of the top pound for pound), but I think that depends on your point of view. If I had a top 10-20 list where I could have all weight classes, plus more, then I'd put him somewhere in it myself.

Rampage is considered right now to be the best light heavyweight, but he has some stiff competition on its way. 28-6 is good, but he's not even in his prime yet. Just another consideration.

I don't know anything about the flyweights and so forth, but

another thing that's possible there.

Answer 5

fedor has to be mentioned, so definitely does Norifumi 'kid' Yamamoto

Answer 6

Anderson Silva and GSP are definitely at the top of the pound for pound list.  

Fedor could also be at the top, but he really hasn't fought a legitimate opponent in over a year.

Mauricio Shogun Rua, is still near the top on my list, when he's healthy he's one of the most unstoppable guys in MMA.  He's got amazing striking and great jiu-jitsu.  This goes for Wanderlei as well, his last fight against Jardine could be signs that he could be in line for a third fight against Rampage in maybe a year or two.

Couture's a great fighter but I don't think he ranks that high up there due to inactivity over the past months.

Faber is hands down the best featherweight in the world, and definitely one of the top ten pound for pound fighters in the world.

Finally, I think in a few years Roger Huerta could make this list, his fight game is still developing, but he's shown that he's very well rounded and has the drive to win all his fights.

Answer 7

I think I would take Cotoure off of the list only because he hasn't fought in so long and it doesn't look like he will soon. It is very hard to narrow it down to 3, much less 1.

My opinion:

1. Anderson Silva

2. Bj Penn

3. Faber / GSP (too close to call)

Answer 8

1-Anderson SILVA

2-GSP

3-BJ PENN

FABER is good, but there is a lack on quality featherWts he can face.  He beat Jeff Curran decidedly, and if he beats Pulver... he should be in the talk for top 3 P4P.  

FEDOR was great in PRIDE, but hasn't fought a top10 HVWT in a while.  Until he beats 2 top 10 HVWT in a row, I can not put him in the top 3.  

COUTURE hasn't face anyone in about a year, so he shouldn't be considered in current P4P list.

Answer 9

Fedor has proven skills. If Faber beats Pulver then i'll put him in the talks.

Answer 10

Hold up idiot.  GSP maybe bigger and stronger then BJ; but no way does he have better skills.  Have you ever seen BJ get pummeled by a little guy from Long Island(Serra)?I didn't think so.  It's like this.

#2Anderson

#3BJ

GSP is Canadian and Penn put him in the hospital last fight.  Search the archives.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Fedor, Rampage, and Frank Shamrock.
