Who are the five best MMA fighters right now?

Question

I say

1.Anderson Silva

2.Quinton "Rampage" Jackson

3.Georges St. Pierre

4.Chuck Liddell

5.Forrest Griffin

How good of a career do you think Brock Lesnar will have?

Answer 1

YOu didn't even list fedor? Don't you know anything?

Answer 2

1.Anderson Silva

2.Fedor

3.GSP

4.B.J Penn

5.Faber

He will have a pretty good career...But due to the fact that he is pushing 30 and only has 2 mma fights so far he will probly end with a record looin like 20-2 or 3...depending on how good the HW division will look in he future...He will be the future champ of the HW division in the UFC soner or later tho

Answer 3

Yea, what's with not mentioning Fedor Emelianenko?  You only mention fighters from the UFC...hmm....

Anyway here's my list:

1. Fedor Emelianenko

2. Anderson Silva

3. BJ Penn

4. Georges Saint Pierre

5. Urijah Faber

Brock Lesnar might have a good career ahead of him, and should fight more often.  He needs to have a fight go longer so he can display his ground game and wrestling.  He was one of the top (or the top) collegiate Div 1 NCAA wrestlers, it'd be interesting to see him in a longer fight.  I do hate the fact he was a fake WWE 'rasslar, but I do respect that he's getting into the cage.

Answer 4

1.Fedor

2.Big Nog

3.B.J. Penn

4.GSP

5.Hendo

How do you leave out Fedor? And enough of this Anderson Silva #1 bullshit. Yes hes been very impressive but he doesn't have the accomplishments of the five fighters above. That's why Hendo is on there and not Silva and if they did it again Hendo would dominate.

Answer 5

1. Anderson Silva

2. Fedor Emelianenko

3. Georges St. Pierre

4. Urijah Faber

5. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

For the record, BJ Penn was close.  People are gonna get wily with me picking Urijah Faber over Big Nog, but that's just my opinion.

As for Brock Lesnar, I think he'll beat Herring, but (provided he doesn't get c**p beaten out of him by another heavyweight on the way up) if he were to try and fight Big Nog, it wouldn't work out too great for him (first round submission).

Answer 6

1. Anderson Silva ( has the Best all Around Game) Excellent Strikes, Quick Reflexes, Good Ground GAME (Tapped a Black Belt) he was only  a Blue... He Rocks... Very Humble and Respectful. Great Model MMA Fighter!

1. Fedor !!!!! The Ring Control is Second to none...Powerful! Killer Instict with every fight!

They are both Tied for the Best!

2.Rampage Jackson! Held two Belts...UFC and Pride He beat the Best! Has to Avenge his loss to Forrest and W. Silva

He has too!!! He needs those wins to seal his dominance and greatness. Ps...still think Jackson beat Forrest....but its should have been split decision...OH well..**** happens.

3. BJ Penn and GSP They need to face off eachother again to prove who is the Best.

Penn will continue to dominate his division and GSP...well its GSP common... had a fluke loss to Serra now he is back and better than ever.

4. Randy Couture- he will be back and hopefully go toe to toe with Fedor...I smell upset....or is it the End for the Greatest Legend! Captain America! ....Whooooah dont know but I cant wait to see.... : )

5.Forrest Griffin- Wow this guy came from nowhere and became top 5 on my MMA list! He was breaded into the UFC by the Ultimate Fighter Show...Yeah baby...he Rocks ...Heart of a Lion, warrior, champion whatever you want to descirbe it as...His heart is big. Sometimes I think he is too nice in the Ring. He needs that Killer Instict of Fedor and man This Guy is Dangerouse. We might see him Beat W. Silva ...then Face off Again with Rampage....I cant wait to see what happens....

I know there is more than 5 Fighters on my list ...but bear with me...MMA ranking is tight now... Especially because one guys wins and losses to the guy that beat his opponet.... cool MMA Triangle. Fighter A Beats B Fighter then C Fighter beats A but Losses to B Figther its ....So Awesome... : )

Answer 7

1.Randy Couture

2.Fedor Emelianenko

3.Tito Ortiz

4.Brock Lesnar

5.Frank Mir

Answer 8

1. Fedor

2. Anderson Silva

3. BJ Penn

4. GSP

5. Urijah Faber

Lesnar will have a great career if he learns some jiu jitsu and submission defense. Will be one of best heavy weights in world.

Answer 9

Fedor

Anderson Silva

Antonio Nogeira (Big Nog)

GSP

BJ Penn

Lesnar can get takedowns at will.  Whether or not he can defend submissions is another story.  I'd really like to see him fight three times in a year to get more experience.

Answer 10

who ever put fedor first is retarded! he is over rated!

1. Anderson Silva

2. BJ Penn

3. GSP

4. Forrest Griffen

5. Randy Couture

Answer 11

1.Fedor Emelianenko

2.Anderson Silva

3.Urijah Faber

4.Cung Le

5.Miguel Torres/BJ Penn (tie)

Answer 12

1. A. Silva

2. BJ Penn

3. Fedor

4. GSP

5. V.Silva

Brock I think will have a desent career. I hope he is the next HW champ but that is pushing it.

Answer 13

1. Anderson Silva

2. Fedor

3. Georges St. Pierre

4. Urijah Faber

5. Lyoto Machida (dude is undefeated against some big names)

I had to put Lyoto on there, but he keeps winning. Hard to argue against the guy who has beaten Rich Franklin (only other person who has beaten Rich is A. Silva), BJ Penn, Soku, and Tito... He deserves a top 5 nod, and a Title shot. I would like to see him finish more people...

I think Brock will have a good career, he has a good work ethic, great athleticism, and his chin will get tested against Heath Herring, should be a great fight and a real indicator of where Brock really stands.

Answer 14

How in the world could you not mention fedor Emilianenko?

Forrest Griffen is sloppy and really lost the decision to jackson but the UFC wants to market their new reality show the Ultimate Fighter as producing A Champion so the odds were stacked against Jackson winning a decision. Forest in my opinion is a meat head with no personality whose rise to fame will be short lived....

What's Fedor now? like 30 something wins and 1 loss

that's 1 loss folks.. give the guy some credit!

However I do honour your opinions and am only sharing mine.

I think Brock needs to be more well rounded-he's got the build!

Answer 15

My 5:

1.BJ Penn (in my opinion, the best pound for pound)

2. Anderson Silva (cleaned out the middleweight division, could possibly do the same at light heavy)

3. GSP

4. Fedor

5. Chuck Liddell (his career is in it's sunset, but he's still the most dangerous light heavyweight in the division)

And as for Brock Lesnar, I think that sometime in the next 3-5 years, he will hold the UFC heavyweight title.

Answer 16

HW-Fedor

LHW-Liddell

MW-Silva

WW-GSP

LW-Penn

Brock has a lot of talent... he could easily become a dominate force in MMA once he gets a little more training with his ground work and submission defense.

Answer 17

1 Anderson Silva

2 GSP

3 Faber

4. Fedor

5. BJ

Also the guy that answered Hendo we are talking the best now not the people that were best in Pride
