bj, he has ko power with good technique as well as the best jiu jitsu in mma, most talented fighter in the world imo. gsp, silva and fedor are close but bj is the most dangerous.

Shogun. I know a lot of people may think I'm crazy but I do believe that if healthy and focused he is the best and most dangerous fighter. He's strong, aggressive, awesome jj and muay thai.

I believe Frank Trigg said it best on one of the PRIDE FSN shows. "When Kevin Randleman is focused, I don't know a man in the world who can beat him." But when he's not he's as easy to beat as Ross Pointon.

but out of that list, you got to go BJ Penn, you saw how easily he took out Jens and how he made Joe call him, his daddy. He also dominated GSP until he gassed and when he's focused that cardio will be top notch and I think he could finish GSP in a rematch. The only person who can beat BJ at Welterweight or Lightweight is GSP by LNP and that's only because he has longer limbs. Nobody else can hang with him.

Cro Cop. When he considers winning his only option, he is unstoppable.



100% agree. How he looked in the 06 OWGP was rediculous. BJ Penn is also very tough to stop when he's 100%

The problem I have with these threads is that they reward fighters with inconsitent performances like Cro-Cop, Belfort and Randleman over fighters who consistenly perform at a high level. When these guys lose to some of the best fighters in the world (2 each on that list have losses to Couture and Fedor for example) it's assumed by some people that they just lacked mental focus and would have won otherwise. I don't think so. The best fighters when focused are the best fighters, period. Fedor, Silva, GSP, Penn and Yamamoto are guys high on that list.

I think Bj has longer arms, his reach is only an inch shorter than gsp's but gsp has a way wider chest structure.

Randy and BJ

Couture lost his edge in LHW with personal issues but got it all together and got the HW title

Bj didnt take fighting serious as he should of but now is one of the best in the world (not that he wasnt before )
