best p4p in the world (mma)

thaRooster · 07-13-2008, 11:08 AM

who do you think is the best mma fighter in the world. I would say its between Anderson Silva, BJ Penn, GSP.

Silvas got a nice test for himself coming up on July 19th. Hes moving up to the LHW division (205lbs) to fight the undefeated knockout artist James Irvin. Silva is on a crazy streak absolutely destroying the mw division. Since joining the UFC he has defeated (and finished) Chris Leben, Rich Franklin, Nate Marquardt, Rich Franklin again, and Dan Henderson. It's rumored that after this Irvin fight he will move back to MW to defend his MW title against #1 contender Yushin Okami.

BJ Penn has dominated his last 3 fights in the LW division mowing through Jens Pulver, Joe Stevenson, and most recently and most impressively Sean Sherk. He has finished all 3 of these opponents. Penns lifetime record is 13-4-1 but it should be noted that he's never been finished in a fight and each one of his losses were in contraversial decisions against the sports biggest names (Hughes, GSP, Machida, and Pulver). Penn is known to only want to fight the best opponents and has fought opponents in the LHW division all the way to LW. Most of his peers will say that BJ is by far the most talented fighter in the world.

GSP is currently the welterweight champion and is currently on an impressive 3 win streak against Hughes, Koscheck, and finally his avenged loss against Matt Serra. GSP is 16-2 and his only 2 losses are to Matt Hughes in Hughses prime, and a flukish loss to Matt Serra. GSP is regarded as the best athletete in mma with his world class wresltling skills, and ridiculous striking abilities. His next fight is in August when he defends his title against #1 contender Jon Fitch (currently on a 9 fight streak).

its been rumored that if GSP beats Fitch he will fight BJ Penn at a catchweight. If that happens it will be the biggest and most important fight in mma history. They have fought before but right now both are in their primes, and UFC is at the height of its popularity

I should actually add Fedor Emiliananko to this list. Fedor is a HW and is regarded as the greatest of all time. He fought in Pride (never in the UFC), and not many fan even know who he is. He is a 27-1 HW (might as well call him undefeated though, his only loss was by a cut and he easily disposed of that opponent in their next meeting). The list of opponents the Russian fighter has defeated is extremely impressive. Wins over Ricardo Arona, Babalu, Semmy Shilt, Heath HErring, 2 victories over current UFC HW champion Antonio Nogueirra, 2 victories over UFC hall of famer Mark Coleman, Kevin Randleman, Cro Cop, Matt Lindland, and Mark Hunt. He has been criticised as of late for not fighting often enough, or against good enough talent. July 19th on PPV he will take on the biggest test of his career in recent years fighting UFC all time great HW Tim Sylvia. If he takes this fight he will solidify himself as the greatest of all time. A fight against Randy Cotoure has been highly anticipated but may never happen due to legal reasons

nobody cares

Newportz · 07-13-2008, 03:33 PM

Fedor was...Been awhile since he's stepped in the ring...

We'll see where's he's at after the Sylvia match

At this point i'd have to go with either Anderson or GSP....Anderson's been lights out in his division...Even though i'd like to see him step to the LHW div.

yeah faber is sick. problem is the featherweight division is weak. for faber to be in the discussion he needs to fight some bigger name competition. it would be interesting to see him fight the bantamweight champion miguel torres or maybe one of the top ufc lightweights to move down to fight him

wilmer deryou · 07-13-2008, 05:48 PM

faber is sick

ima go with silva...he dominated his division so bad...he added to go up in class

gsp is up there..but serra beat his ass...and i cant ever forget that lol

fedor was the best pound for pound..but he hasn't done much in awhile

Gorilla Nasty · 07-13-2008, 06:29 PM

Another one I like is Carlos Condit.

Old Soul · 07-13-2008, 10:12 PM

I don't watch regularly enough to really weigh-in, but every time I've seen Penn he's blown me away. Just the pure athleticism... I mean the fucking guy is kinda flabby... he's sick.

Dead Broke · 07-13-2008, 10:15 PM

you can start by tuning into spike tv sat. night. the ufc is putting on a free card with some pretty interesting fights. the main even includes anderson silva who probably has the best case to be called best pound for pound fighter in the world.

no , serra caught him with a punch behind the ear that made him dizzy

we saw what happened in the rematch

Old Soul · 07-15-2008, 02:42 AM

GSP is a monster. I saw a commercial with a line-up that had Fedor in it today.

yeah affliction banned

gonna be a huge card he fights tim sylvia in the main event, but vitor is back fighting terry martin and arlovski fights ben rothwell, josh barnett takes on pedro rizzo, babalu vs mike whitehead, lindland/negao, alex emelianenko vs paul buentello, and rogerio noguiera vs edwin dewees

killer card

SeeSon · 07-15-2008, 08:50 AM

It is Anderson Silva and I don't even see how one could argue anyone else. He has murdered everyone he has fought. He finished Dan Henderson who held both the Pride Middle and Light Heavyweight titles. This dude is a monster. No one can come close to him.

fedor has beaten everybody they have put in front of him and he will face the #4 ranked world HW in 4 days

but yeah silva is on fire right now- i think there are quite a few guys in 205 that would handle him but hes got a very distinct advantage in 185 for sure
