The sport of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighting is one of the fiercest and most exciting sports you can watch. If you have never seen an MMA fight, you are missing a real treat - especially for those who like boxing and martial arts. The rules are unique and the styles that compliment the sport are thrilling. Below is my list of the "Best of the Best" ever in the cage. Enjoy!
#5 Chuck Liddell - Truly one of the first real legends of the sport. He's not exactly a pretty boy, but Liddell's UFC performances helped bring Mixed Martial Arts to mainstream attention. A monster of a man.
#4 Randy Couture - This man is a veteran and one reason why the MMA is in the main stream sports world today. One of the most decorated fighters and one of the best to ever enter the cage.
#3 Anderson Silva - The King of the Ring is Anderson Silva! The Middleweight division is his, and only his. A dominating fighter with all the assets needed to stay on top of the world in this sport, he not only beat Rich Franklin with a great title match which he defended his title.
He also creamed Dan Henderson in UFC 82 in a unification bout to claim his right as the best of the best. His recent destruction of Forrest Griffin has just confirmed that Anderson Silva is pound-for-pound one of the very best.
#2 Georges St Pierre - The welterweight king and current UFC champion, GSP's combination of Kyokushin, kickboxing, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and wrestling means he has both endurance, skill and power. His devastating demolition of BJ Penn is just one example of St Pierre's undoubted quality.
#1 Fedor Emelianenko - He's won thirty and lost one! With an impressive record of 30 wins and one loss, and that loss coming from an illegal elbow that made a cut so deep the fight had to be stopped, Fedor is really undefeated in the MMA.
He has won twice over Nogueira and has two wins on Mark Coleman, Mirko Cro Cop, Randleman and more. I can call Fedor the best of all time because he has faced the best and beat them, not many MMA fighters can make that claim and be right!
Well, that was my list of the top 5 MMA artists of all time. I expect you won't agree, but I'm sure you'll agree that - with so many good fighters out there - picking five is no easy task.
It took a lot of time and effort to come up with this list and sometimes I read it and feel like adding and subtracting myself! Many, many great fighters are in MMA and that why this sport has made a huge name for itself, as brutal as it is. - 30300
