Question

Who are your top 5 favorite MMA fighters of all time? And Why?

Answer 1

No particular order

1. Fedor Emelianenko - Baddest man on the planet. Enough said.

2. Urijah Faber - I love watching this kid fight. He doesn't always do what he should do, but he somehow makes it work.  Unorthodox, but unbelievable!

3. Royce Gracie - Without Royce there is no UFC, and without the UFC there wouldn't be MMA. Without the MMA you can't ask this question.

4. Randy Couture - The man was schooling guys half his age. He's a machine.  Truly amazing!

5. Forrest Griffin - I know that no matter win or lose, when I'm watching a Forrest fight, I'm watching everything he has. He never quits!  I honestly believe that he would fight to his own death, even if he knew that he didn't have a chance at winning. I can't ask for any more than that from any fighter.

Answer 2

1. GSP- overall skill in MMA. Every aspect of fighting, he excels in.

2. BJ Penn- His jiu-jitsu is unreal, flexibility is alien-like.

3. Royce Gracie- Many may disagree but I see him as the "uncle" of the UFC. Rorion being the father.

4. Minotauro Nogueira- Heavy hands combined with his wizardry on the ground.

5. Mirko Cro-Cop- Left kick (nuff said).

Answer 3

Man I must be old because most of mine are the legendary fighters you hear about.

1. Don Frye. To many classic battles to even begin talking about. So many great fueds from Ken Shamrock to Yoshihiro Takayama.

2. Mark Coleman. Possibly the best wrestler to ever step in the octagon. Inventer of the most successful fighting style in the heavyweight division, ground-and-pound.

3. Randy Couture. Not only a champion, but a dominant champion in multiple divisions. Like Don Frye also, so many great fueds.

4. Tra Telligman. Though not the best fighter by all means, the man probably worked harder at fighting than any other fighter I know. Being in a fighting sport while missing your right pectoral muscle is just insane. You couldn't help but root for this guy.

5. Pat Miletich. At one point was 20 and 1. And this was when the UFC had little rules. Then went on to train fighters like Robbie Lawler, Tim Sylvia, Matt Hughes, and Jens Pulver.

Answer 4

Rabdy Coture, GSP,Matt Horwich,BJ Penn, and Mat linland
