Who is/was the best one-dimensional fighter?? (only fights one way brahs gtfih)

In this thread, a bunch of people will name a bunch of fighters who were really two-dimensional.

For the most part, you have to back to the Royce days to find great fighters who were truly one-dimensional.
 
Chuck maybe.

Case in point, Chuck was two-dimensional. His wrestling is what made him from good to great. Without his epic sprawls and TDD which was all wrestling, his striking almost never would have worked at a high level.

Maia and Royce. Crocop for striking... (yeah I know he had TDD, but let's be real here) you never had to worry about a TD, a sub, GNP, etc
 
I don't think it's fair to bring up any fighters from the modern era, because even somebody like Damien Maia still has kickboxing ability. Imo the best strictly one dimensional fighter was Mark Coleman. He did everything with pure strength and wrestling, with no striking and minimal submission skills.

Conor McGregor is probably also pretty near as one-dimensional as it gets in the modern era
