Do you agree? If not make your own list.
 
Pretty solid list. The only one I disagree with is Overeem at HW. I think JDS is a better striker, even though he got KOed by Overeem. Werdum is a better striker as well.

Reem is not the best striker, he gets knocked the fuck out way too often.

I'd put Max above Aldo in the striking department too, for obvious reasons.

Overeem schooled jds when they fought, remember?

Best Striker at LW is Mairbek Taisumov.
He'd light Barboza up.
 
Not putting Max in at FW is fucking wrong lol

Not sure I'd say TJ is the best grappler at BW either, but I can't currently think of a better one

I'd probably go with Cruz over TJ, as much as we hype up his neo-striking fancy footwork his wrestling has always been his bread and butter

I find people choosing Aldo as top striker at FW a little baffling. From my perspective Jose Aldo's primary weakness is to other strikers. His great TD defense and overall superior striking to your average grappler puts him over the Mendess and Edgars of his division, but put him up against a McGregor or Holloway and I think the results will nearly always go the wrong way for him.
 
What weight class is CM Punk in again...

Max has proved to be better than Aldo in the striking departmanent, maybe with some help from Aldo himself trying to just box a technical larger guy
