Aldo got into bjj long before he trained his striking.

True that. Kind of strange to look at
considering he (Werdum) was cut from the UFC for being boring after going 2-1 and his wins came by ko/tko.

His stand up has improved a ton.

He wasnt cut, his contract ran out and he opted for what he felt like was a better deal

It's Aldo.

2nd place BJ Penn IMO.

RDA, Werdum and Jacare get honorable mention.

Definitely most improved... Aldo and Penn were very good strikers, but they were always good. Werdum is better than both of them on the ground, and is inching up on being as good on the feet.
