Well at least we agree on Rickson.

 

[ppko]

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.

PPKO

PPKO

Royce beat Kimo, Ken, and Dan.

LOL

 

[Dan Anderson]

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

He lost to Royce.


Ye I don't think Ken is that GREAT of a fighter.

 

[Shogun]

mine (of all time, as for today, a little different)
-BJ Penn
-Randy Cotoure
-Vitor Belfort
-Kazushi Sakuraba
-Daiju Takase
-Frank Shamrock
-Bas Rutten
-Duane "bang" ludwig
-Frank Mir
-Rickson Gracie

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

 

[ppko]

Royce beat Kimo, Ken, and Dan.

LOL

Dan Severn is the only triple crown winner in UFC history started in the UFC at the age of 38. Ken always gave Royce a good fight.


PPKO

 

[MJS]

He lost to Royce.


Ye I don't think Ken is that GREAT of a fighter.

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

[Kempojujutsu]

These are not in any certain order

1.Rickson Gracie
2. Mario Sperry
3. B.J Penn
4. Vandilea Silva
4. Victor Belfort
5 Pat Militech
6. Matt Hughs
7. Frank Shamrock
8. Carlos Newton
9. Pele
10. Randy Courture

 

[Littledragon]

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.

 

[LiteBlu]

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.

 

[Turbo]

Damn I didnt know that about BJ....why did they kick him out of the UFC?

 

[tmanifold]

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


Tony

 

[Shogun]

BJ is not permanently kicked out. He is on suspension.

 

[peligro1]

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

 

[Dragon Fist]

Here is my list.

1. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira
2. Rickson Gracie
3. Kazushi Sakuraba
4. Ken Shamrock
5. Hidehiko Yoshida
6. Wanderlei Silva
7. Vitor Belfort
8. Dan Severn
9. Royce Gracie
10. B.J. Penn

 

[peligro1]

Just curious, why would you place Antonio before Rickson?

 

[peligro1]

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