ok ok ok i thought about this 4 a min but here we go. I wanted battle tested fighters who have held the championship and reached the top of there class only
((( NOT TOP FIGHTERS NOW )))
10 Royce Gracie ( the starter )
9 Ken Shamrock
8 Frank Shamrock ( so underrated )
7 GSP ( cuz i couldent think of anyone else )
6 Urijah Faber ( thats one fast kid ) * hope he does well in ufc
5 Matt Hughes ( respect )
4 Randy Couture ( has shown his guts ) * number one will kill him
3 Anderson Silva ( iv watched this guy way before ucf he shur deserves this )
2 BJ Penn ( his nickname says it all )
1 ( do i even have to say ) KING FEDOR the battle tested unstopably machine
come one michael bisping in to 10 spot?? for fucks sake hamill whooped his ass three rounds ( oh yea and lost decision due to location of fight) tellin people to read up…come on now
Matt Hughes does not belong in anyones list. He is the most overated fighter. Please see last fight how he got knock the fuck out. Thank you.
I agree with the comment about Bisbing….totally over rated!!
5)Faber
4)Couture….a little to much respect perhaps but I like him?
3)GSP….I love to watch him fight!!
2)Fedor
1)Anderson Silva
(1)Brock Lesnar
(2)Fedor Emelianenko
(3)Anderson Silva
(4)G.S.P
(5)Antonio Nogueira
(6)Randy Couture
(7)Wanderlei Silva
(8)Rampage Jackson
(9)Vitor Belfort
(10)Mark(the hammer)Coleman
C’mon, Big D,
He gets in a few good shots and he’s number 1? Nah! Fedor definitely should be bumped up to number 1. Then A. Silva, then Brock. And Randy should still be 4 or 5. We’ll see a Randy/Lesnar 2. Then you can jump on the Lesnar bandwagon. I agree with the others except for Rampage and Vitor. Vitor shouldn’t be on there and Rampage can be 9. 8 should probably be Tito rather than Vitor.
Firegod25
1)Fedor E. (built like a machine)
2)G.S.P (representing my hometown gym)
3)Rashad Evans (just took the belt)
4)Randy Couture (honestly just physically in better shape then half of the young guys)
5)Brock (weight/speed)
6)B.J. Penn (Psychotic, not much more)
7)Rampage Jackson (also psychotic, but more just vicious)
8)Forrest Griffin (well prepared, best line, “I don’t remember getting hurt, just waking up… 12/27/08″
9)Anderson Silva (super smart
10)Faber (fast little guy)
Can we please note that randleman slammed fedor on his head, spider silva would of broken in 2
fedor, taps out randleman, goes home, and eats his dinner comprising of lead filings and protein and washed it all down with a vodka/ ate the glass afterwards
Thats why Fedor gets the no1 spot
And i do have to say Wanderlei Silva wud get in the top 10, but so far at ufc he aint been too impressive, I miss the axe murderer of old :(, and brock will def move up when he gets sum experience under that belt

-Lock it up! Those are the best ten fighters in the world!
No questions asked!
It does not matter about record, what the post is about is the BEST fighters in the world. Without a doubt, I dont care what you think of him, Lesnar is the best fighter in the world. Did you watch how he dominated, and I mean dominated, Mir? It wasnt even a fight, Lesnar wanted to smash him for the whole fight, he did not want to knock him out quick. There is not another human being that can withstand the punishment Lesnar can deliver, whether on the ground, standing up, whatever. It is that simple, his physical dominance is unmatched in MMA, period. That is why Fedor went to Strikeforce, he KNEW he could not beat Lesnar.
YOU ARE ALL WRONG - THE LIST GOES LIKE THIS AND I’M NOT JOKING:
1. Fedor
2. F. Emelianenko
3. “The Last Emperor”
4. The one and only F.E.
5. —- Nobody —–
6. —- Nobody —–
7. Anderson Silva
8. GSP
9. Gegard Mousasi
10.Miguel Torres…and…
37.Brock “THE COCK” Lesnar - Wouldn’t last 30 seconds with Fedor! Fight someone decent first!!!!!
P.S “Miss” Dana White could you kindly SHUT THE F**K UP or put the money where your mouth is…eather way thank you very much in advance!!!
5. Michael Bisping
4. Anderson Silva
3. Bj Penn
2. Forrest Griffin
1. Fedor Emelianenko (look his record!)
10. Lyoto Machida (totally overrated)
9. Shogun
8. Rashad
7. Dan Henderson
6. Jose aldo
5. B.J Penn
4. GSP
3. Andersson Silva (Overrated)
2. FEDOR
1. FEDOR EMIALENENKO THE BEST!!!
LOL a. Silva overrated what a tool
10, hose Aldo
9, Brock lesnar
8, Jon Fitch
7, Dan Henderson
6, rashad Evans
5, bj penn
4, lyoto machida

10 mr. bean
9 royce
8 the truth
7 the iceman
6 the dragon
5 shogun
4 crocop
3 spider
2 rush
1 the last emperor
Ok we know that Fedor is no 1 he’s record speaks from him self. If Fedor fights with Overeen this year and beat’s him will be no words to say about him. I didn’t see nobody to beat Fedor that’s why I think he is the best fighter of all time. A big respect for this man
Keep in mind, everyone should be rated IN THEIR PRIME. Of course, everyone will disagree with each other. However, I believe this is a solid list. Remember, their PRIME folks.
10. Antonio Nogueira
9. Igor Vovchanchyn
8. Vitor Belfort
7. Chuck Lidell
6. BJ Penn
5. Randy Couture
4. Royce Gracie

Love all the Brock hate here….must be Mir’s fan club still crying….LOL If Brock took fedor to the ground he would most easily win…Brock would just MIR his face into mush..Fedor could never get out from under him, not just the giant size of Brock but the fact Brock is prob the best REAL wrestler in MMA as well. Go ask Mir how easy it was for him to get out from under Brock…LOL oh that’s right….he dint get out from under him…LOL HAMBURGER FACE.
