Is chad mendes the best fighter with the best combination of wrestling and boxing in ufc??

No he isn't, but he is the best skin cream user in the UFC . Or the worst since it got him suspended.
 
Frankie Edgar is a better striker and wrestler. Chad has more power due to his frame, but Frankie is more durable and much quicker. Didn't Frankie knock Chad out with one punch?
 
Weidman might be the best wrestle-boxer when fresh.

He has a herky, jerky movement to him I'd imagine would throw opponents off their timing and distance.

No.
 
Cain, Frankie, Mendes, T-Wood and Dillashaw (although Dillashaws style is abit unconventional it is definetly elite in mma taking everything into account.) Weidman is really good with his boxing defense imo.

I even think Chael Sonnen when he was at his best had some pretty sharp boxing and obviously his wrestling is elite.
 
There have been quite a few boxer/wrestlers at LHW/FW, but Frankie is the best--better than Mendes, Gilbert, Alvarez, etc. His style is unique due to his footwork, and he's the most effective.
 
Chad's boxing wasn't that good. He's very fast and explosive, but when it came to actual technique? Nahh.

He landed succesfully on strikers like Conor and Aldo because he's great at faking the takedown and come over the top with a heavy punch.
Still a better boxer than 90% of the roster.
