Who are the top 5 best Mixed Martial Artists ever?

[Perfect Plex]

LOL @ Liddell being on some lists.

1. Fedor
2. Kazushi Sakuraba
3. Royce Gracie
4. Nog
5. Matt Hughes

No Anderson or GSP? Wow. I find it hard to accept Royce is greater than Anderson in any way shape or form.

1. Fedor
2. Anderson
3, GSP
4. Henderson
5. BJ Penn

I like Big Nog and he is the 2nd greatest heavyweight ever, but Henderson has beat so many great fighters.

And also has like 7 questionable split decision wins.

No Anderson or GSP? Wow. I find it hard to accept Royce is greater than Anderson in any way shape or form.

I believe that they'll be on the list someday, probably soon, but for a sport that's only 20 years old, I think these guys are it so far.....

Yeah but I just dont' see how Royce record matches up with Anderson's. Andersons beat far better comp, been more dominant, more skilled & overall just has the better legacy.

What reasons do you actually rank Royce higher?

OOOPS WRONG THREAD.....

Pioneer I guess. Ando wouldn't be as good as he is without his Black Belt in JJ, and he would probably have never started taking BJJ if it wasn't for Royce and fam....

[MexicanMauler]

1. Anderson
2. Fedor/GSP
4. BJ
5. dunno, but Jon Jones has some serious potential

[Johan Lofgren]

Fedor is #1 by far. #2 probably Sakuraba..

[Blackfoot]

Tough list to make, I came up with this based on most appealing fights, the best records/streaks and fighting style. Can't help but be a little biased though.

1. Fedor
2. Sakuraba
3. GSP
4. Anderson
5. Wanderlei

Nog, Hughes, Couture, Cro Cop, Tito, Liddell, Sudo, etc. Just too many candidates, very hard to make a list that everyone agrees with haha
