    Chael over Fedor, Page or Wandy? You're trolling. Cro Cop is better than Chael

    1. Royce Gracie - the most influential MMA fighter of all time... none of this happens without him.
    2. GSP - most well-rounded fighter in my opinion.
    3. Khabib - undefeated and completely dominant... his wrestling is unmatched.
    4. Jon Jones - not a fan of him at all as a person, but acknowledge his greatness.
    5. Fedor - an absolute icon, and did it all outside of UFC.

    Yeah he definitely is good on their. He also had Jones beat which is impressive. Just couldn't hold on. I love watching old PRIDE fights.

    5) Francis Ngannou: Had to have a heavyweight on the list and went through a good many before I settled on the guy with the best power I have ever seen.

    4) Jon Jones: His size and athleticism set him apart. If he had one shot knockout power he might have been the best all time.

    3) Anderson Silva: One of the best boxers in MMA who could finish you with one shot from his fist or foot and even won fights while on his back. No position that Silva couldn't beat his opponent from.

    2) Georges St-Pierre: A guy who didn't have one thing that he did better than anyone else but rather could do everything at a top level. Couple that with his cardio and it became just about impossible to beat him in his prime as he could dictate the direction of any fight and chances are he was better than his opponent at whichever manner he wanted the fight to go.

    1) Khabib Nurmagomedov: The best grappler/wrestler the sport has ever seen. As a result his standup is underrated. I'm not sure how you are supposed to beat a guy you are too scared to get too close to because you know that once he has you in his grasp the fight is over.
