1. Anderson Silva

3. Demetrious Johnson
4. GSP
5. Matt Hughes
6. Fedor
7. Daniel Cormier
8. Dominick Cruz
9. Conor McGregor
10. Noguiera/Fabricio Werdum/Overeem/Frank Mir/Randy Couture all get honorable mentions and tie for 10th.

[sooby]

the spiderGOAT silva, and lol at conor being the GOAT when he hasn't defended a belt and got beat by a fresh out of cabo Nate Diaz, a lot of connie era d-riders here.

would have been awesome to see a silva vs gsp or a silva vs jones in a battle of GOATs, agree with Drew's list but imo I would put Cain up there as one of the heavyweights, when he isn't injured or is at sea-level he's pretty unstoppable.

[brooks1865]

Anderson is GOAT no questions asked. Conner shouldn't be mention in that conversation yet.

[meatlog]

Pound for pound is a term used in combat sports such as boxing[1] or mixed martial arts[2] to reflect an assessment as to who the better fighters are, regardless of size (i.e., regardless of weight class). As these fighters do not compete directly, judging the best fighter pound for pound is subjective, and ratings vary. They may be based on a range of criteria including "quality of opposition", factors such as how exciting the fighter is or how famous they are, or be an attempt to determine who would win if all those ranked were the same size.

I honestly think that is the most realistic way of picking a no.1 p4p...

Has to be Jon Jones, especially when you consider who he's fought also, Silva a close second.

[Zwicker]

Unfortunately, I'd have to agree with Jon Jones at #1

Jones
Anderson
GSP
DJ
Aldo/Cruz/Fedor

I thought about putting BJ in there, but in the end, I couldn't justify it.

1. Anderson Silva

woat list lmao

[scooterbrah]

i only did because he won belts in 2 weight classes and actually defended 1 of them.

[Tuga88]

Fedor/Jones/GSP I think all can arguably be considered the P4P best.

You spelled Anderson Silva wrong.

[CoolKnees]

Toss up between Silva/GSP.

Jon Jones would have been GOAT and easily has the highest potential but his career got derailed with drugs/suspension.
McGregor could get there with a few more solid wins and defenses.
Fedor/MM fought in weak divisions and stat padded so no.

[chalup]

1. Anderson Silva
2. Jon Jones
3. Demetrious Johnson
4. GSP
5. Matt Hughes
6. Fedor
7. Daniel Cormier
8. Dominick Cruz
9. Conor McGregor
10. Noguiera/Fabricio Werdum/Overeem/Frank Mir/Randy Couture all get honorable mentions and tie for 10th.

Someone with a brain, ty men. Pretty much my list.

[Gainzzz]

DJ over GSP and Fedor? Cormier anywhere near the list LMAO? Aldo? I'm cringing.

The real list:

1. GSP
2. Jon Jones
3. Anderson
4. Fedor
5. Aldo
6. Wanderlei
7. BJ
8. Hendo
9. Cruz
10. Conor

[IronProdigy]

no way is mighty mouse a top p4p in that lackluster division. I'll give him props when the division is revamped with legit competition. Jones has to be on top with silva and GSP in a close second.

[Exane]

I say GSP, mostly because in his prime, he would go against a guy and beat him with whatever tool they were supposed to beat him with. He could literally do it all. Yes, Jones and Silva were dominating and could beat someone in almost every facet of the game, but Jones squandered it away and Silva showboated way too much. You couldn't formulate a game plan around GSP, you could against Jones and Silva (not saying you could implement it though).

Fedor had some serious brawls too, watching some of his fights he had some very impressive wins. He beat some very dangerous dudes back in the day.

Prime Aldo was scary.

DJ is just flat out impressive.



I would say that is my top 6

[Fitteacher34]

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned GSP. The guy was a beast!

[sooby]

because he decisioned his way to his most recent fights and the hendricks one was arguable.

[Gainzzz]

because he decisioned his way to his most recent fights and the hendricks one was arguable.

yea, because we all know that dominating world class fighters for 25 minutes in every area of the game isn't impressive.

sooby more like nooby

lol...the serra fight hurt his legacy I'd say. Still one of the best

[Exane]

You have to put that into context. He decisioned people who were killers to everyone else in the weight class, even if he lost the hendricks fight, fighters were never the same after they fought him. He went to decisions because he was like an impenetrable wall. And don't forget, he broke Koshcheks eye socket with just jabs.

He may have been boring, but his fights were more like chess matches then flat out brawls. After he got caught by Serra, he tried not to open himself up like again, which is smart.
