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 - The Iceman cometh! If you want to talk intimidating, or scary, just have a look at Chuck Liddell in the cage. He is considered one of the pioneers of the MMA sport and helped to bring it into the main stream. Chuck Liddell may not be pretty, but he is one tough SOB!
#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.
Knockouts against highly rated fighters like Forrest Griffin and Rich Franklin just confirm what most MMA fans are saying : Anderson Silva is one of the very best fighters ever to have graced the sport.
#2 Georges St Pierre - St Pierre (or GSP as he is often called) has that rare combination of skills that means no part of his fighting style is weak. That's why he's the king of the welterweights and one of the best ever MMA fighters.
#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.
Emelianenko has triumphed over some strong, powerful, talented guys. Nogueira, Cro Cop and more. This is why Fedor is the top fighter - he beats the other top fighters time and again.
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 did take quite a while to come up with this list and I keep crossing names out and adding them back in. I suspect that's why MMA has become such a success as a mainstream sport. - 31491
