When you hear the words 'striker' and 'grappler'...

[BigMuffler]

who are the FIRST 10 current UFC fighters whose names you think of? Not who is the best, but who are the very first who pop into your head (so basically who are the iconic strikers/grapplers today in your mind)? I think -

Striker -

Wonderboy
Rumble
Conor
Overeem
Joanna
JDS
Cyborg
Aldo
Cruz (odd choice maybe but his dancing is too unique)
Pettis

Grappler -

Maia
Ronda
Werdum
Khabib
Jacare
Cormier
Rockhold
Barnett
Tate
Cain (another offbeat choice maybe, but cage pinning is still grappling lol)

Who are your iconic strikers/grapplers?

[TheRassler]

I like to refer to them as.......fighters and blankets (backpack is acceptable too).

And your name is the rassler?

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

I'm a big fan of fighters who can use cage control for the duration of their fight earning a decision win while taking and delivering basically zero damage.

Stop watching MMA and go to kickboxing. I promise you nobody will roll with eachother on the ground there.
