The top 3 stand-up fighters at 170?

[Clegg]

Who ya got?

A few suggestions, though I've probably overlooked a few people:

GSP
Dan Hardy
Paul Daley
Chris Lytle
Thiago Alves
Marcus Davis
Nick Diaz
Nate Diaz
KJ Noons

170 really lacks strikers and submission grapplers. The We Wrestle division.

Anyway:

1 -Noons
2 - Cyborg
3 - Alves

GSP is a great fighter but most of the success he achieves while striking is derived from his wrestling. If you try to really trade with him, he takes you down. The few strikers he fought never were able to loose up their games. He doesn't let them.

Uh-oh, don't call it the wrestling division. People get extremely offended when 170 division is called that. I know first hand.


1. Dan Hardy
2. KJ Noons
3. Nate Diaz (edit: I totally forgot Nate was a Welter.)

There is a HUGE drop off between 1 and 2 though. Believe that. It would really look like.

1. Dan Hardy.

Nick has better Standup than Nate IMO.

I'd go...

Manhoef
Daley
Nick Diaz

Manhoef
Daley
Nick Diaz

I thought Nick made a permanent move to MW. That's why I didn't include him. Otherwise I would have Nick #2 and it would be a pretty close #2.

Manhoef is 170?

Nick's fighting Noons at 170 I believe in a week or 2 for the title.

You really think Nate Diaz could beat Alves or Daley? I don't even think Dan Hardy could. Hardy I don't think is that good on the feet, I think like Carwin it's all power but he's a good counterpuncher though but I think thats where it stops and ends. I don't think his overall stand up game is legit.

I think Daley & Alves kill him with kicks. Better boxer then Noons too? Noons boxing is seriously legit with heavy heavy hands. I'm thinking he KO's Nick Diaz like he almost did last time but I'm rooting for Nick.
