He is a walking punch drunk.

BJ Penn and Anderson Silva were probably the two most talented ever.

Shout out to prime Rampage. He was never the baddest, but maybe the most fun to watch:

DJ is p4p at the moment.

Gracie would get demolished in today's MMA. It's changed a lot.

All time, pretty much have to go with Fedor. He went undefeated for 10 years.

Tank Abbott


My favorite Tank moment was actually in wrestling. He got fired by WCW for pulling a knife on his opponent during a match. A stunned Tony Schiavone said "maybe he's trying to cut his beard" but Tank's opponent didn't have a beard.

It's Conor. Only close second and third are Anderson Silva and Fedor.

Conor time away has people forgetting how unstoppable he is within the octagon. He will knock out Khabib. Khabibs stand up got exposed his last fight.

When Don Frye, Gracie, and Severn started out, the UFC was a one night tournament with no weight classes. I wish they would have kept the same format. Could have been GSP vs Lesnar or something crazy like that for the belt lol.

And Conor’s lack of wrestling got exposed by a guy who took the fight on short notice and clearly wasn’t in ring shape.

There’s no clear cut answer due to different eras

Rickson Gracie would win a weightclass championship even in today's UFC, but he would not be the irresistible force he was in the Vale Tudo Japan days.

His jiu jitsu is just too good, and his opponent would have to knock him out on his feet. If Rickson gets you to the mat he isn't going to lose.

That gif of Frye taking about 10 headshots in a row is incredible.

Made my face hurt just watching it

Royce Gracie won the first couple of UFC before they had weight classes. Think about that for a second.



Not only that but they also fought like an 8 man tournament in 1 night. No weight class, no rounds, to win you had to win 3 fights in 1 night. Quite a few times people would win and couldn't continue because they were injure. Gracie was the most unassumi my guy and took down dudes double his size.

Vitor Belfort when he was young and juiced up before his sister got abducted was the baddest dude in MMA.


This. It was sad to see his career go down after that. Dude could throw some quick hands back in the day.
