1. Rich Franklin

2. Dan Severn
3. Frank Shamrock
4. Ken Shamrock
5. Tito Ortiz
6. Kimo

I couldn't think of anyone else that really stands out to me, I may be a little unfair due to the fact that these are all people I have either met or talk to occasionally.

I have a hard time with Ken Shamrock being in the top ten. He never won a full UFC, drew with Royce, and has won mainly superfights - 1 match. (Boy, do I expect a shellacking for this one!)

Yours,
Dan Anderson

-Randy Cotoure
-Vitor Belfort
-Kazushi Sakuraba
-Daiju Takase
-Frank Shamrock
-Bas Rutten

ps Ken Shammy is a pretty good fighter. He tapped Bas Rutten, gave Royce a whoopin, and just KO'ed Kimo at UFC 48

Ken lost to Royce in UFC 1. When they had their Superfight, it was a draw.

Well I guess we can all agree that Rickson Gracie is one of the best with having over 450 fights and not loosing one.


He is currently training for an event in Japan.

You guys are weird. Is this the Top 10 MMA Fighters or Your Favourite 10 MMA Fighters?

This is the top in each weight class.

Heavyweight 205 +: Emalianenko Fedor, Rodrigo Nogueira, Frank Mir

Light Heavyweight 185 - 205: Wanderlei Siva, Vitor Belfort, Randy Couture

Middleweight 170 - 185: Matt Lindland, Murilo Bustamante, Dan Henderson (Murilo and Dan could be debatable because their rpime fighting weight is 185 but in Pride they fight at a higher weight, closer to 205)

Welterweight 155 - 170: BJ Penn, Matt Hughes, Sean Sherk

Lightweight 145 - 155: Shaolin Ribeiro, Takaori Gomi, Hansen

Featherweight - 145: Pequeno, Kid Yamamoto

Pound for Pound best fighter in the world for free format / limited rules combat sport: BJ Penn (in his last three matches has defeated former Shooto lightweight world champion Takanori Gomi, went up one weight division and finished UFC Welterweight champion of the world Matt Hughes and went to K1 Romanex and schooled linear UFC belt lightweight champion Duane Ludwig [who KO'd Jens Pulver]. In short BJ Penn has unofficially unified both Shooto and UFC lightweight belts and won the UFC Welterweight belt, before being kicked off the UFC.

The order isn't exact but it will be generally right:

1. Rickson Gracie
2. Randy Couture
3. Bas Rutten
4. Frank Shamrock (and it pains me greatly to say it)
5. Wanderlei Silva
6. Ken Shamrock
7. Vitor Belfort
8. Oleg Taktarov
9. Pat Miltech
10 Royce Gracie (I know he has fallen on hard times lately but for the first 5 or 6 years he owned the UFC)

Honorable Mention:
Mo Smith - For bringing strikers back to the limelight
Chuck Liddel - he is threatening to earn a spot in the Top ten after his KO of Tito

Why does PPKO have to try to show off that he knows or talks to these people?

Just curious, why would you place Antonio before Rickson?

Antonio does have about 50 pounds and a couple inches on Rickson, but nowhere near as skilled.
