AKA crew is unmatched

 

[Bend NvR Break]

1. Cain Velasquez
2. Daniel Cormier
3. Khabib Nurmagomedov
4. Tony Ferguson
5. Colby Covington
6. Rafael dos Anjos
7. Robbie Lawler
8. Nick Diaz
9. Cris Cyborg
10. John Lineker

Top 3 are all from AKA, they teach em well over there. If Luke had a better chin he should fight like that too

Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez during his WW and LW run broke his opponents with his pressure.

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Guida put on a pace that allowed him to beat more technical and athletic fighters. He deserves a mention.

 

[fortheo]

Edgar is up there.

 

[Kertol]

Sonnen
Nick and Nate Diaz
Covington
Rory Macdonald
GSP
Wanderlei

 

[No It All]

1. Cain Velasquez
2. Daniel Cormier
3. Khabib Nurmagomedov
4. Tony Ferguson
5. Colby Covington
6. Rafael dos Anjos
7. Robbie Lawler
8. Nick Diaz
9. Cris Cyborg
10. John Lineker

Top 3 are all from AKA, they teach em well over there. If Luke had a better chin he should fight like that too

No Wanderlei Silva disqualifies this whole list.

GSP is my number 1. Also would throw in Rory. His pressure on Woodley was outstanding.

 

[ixRanGzeNxi]

He’s 1-2 in the UFC and has been stopped twice. That isn’t effective pressure.

Aaaand Nick Diaz is 7-6-1 in the UFC...is THAT "effective pressure"??

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

MMA History... but only 2010s fighters...

 

[frye666]

GSP never gave anyone a second to breathe. I mean, damn, that is how he won his fights. The defenition actually should be made clearer. A pressure fighter is often what sherdog calls lay and pray. Khabib, Colby, those are the pressure fighters today. The opponents simply don't get a chance to do anything.

 

[Scharminkel]

Max

Diaz

 

[Hidden_Hand]

Sean Sherk was an amazing pressure fighter, that guy would just come forward, some of his fights he was pouring blood everywhere and ctually used it as a weapon in the Florian fight.

Prime Matt Hughes would bully guys into the takedown and just break them with his unreal strength.

Chael Sonnen can be a hell of a pressure fighter when he wants.

Brock Lesnar against Mir the second time was brutal, he didn't let him even think for a second.

Come to think of it, it's high level wrestlers with good striking and amazing cardio that are the best pressure fighters, they are a nightmare.

 

[Quitcherbichen]

Aaaand Nick Diaz is 7-6-1 in the UFC...is THAT "effective pressure"??

To be fair though, the only question was...who are the best pressure fighters, that is it regardless if the lose.

Diaz bros are volume fighters imo

 

[Frode Falch]

Nick Diaz, tony ferguson, and Khabib.

Thats my top three.

 

[Gambit MMA]

fedor, duh

 

[LockardTheGOAT]

I don't even like him, but Conor is an outstanding pressure fighter.

Is he, really? He's much more of an outstanding counter striker.

 

[Dionysian]

Conor.

And Machida and Anderson and Wonderboy. Nothing says pressure like counter-strikers. Maybe Tyron against the fence. Starnes might be the GOAT pressure fighter.

 

[krelianx]

GSP was a reaction takedown artist more than a pressure fighter.

Best overall have been Randy, Cain, Khabib, Cormier, Arona, Diaz, Filho, Sherk, Bader, Sonnen.
