[Hazuki Ryo]

I'm surprised when it's not grapplers or wrestlers who are highly ranked. Gane and Imavov are great technical strikers and Fernand Lopez's teachings are "hit and don't get hit"

 

[Gabe]

Not surprised to see king Chael on there he always had an act for making his opponents whiff at air.

 

[Fedora Millionankles]

Surprised Edgar is up there as it seemed like Gray Maynard didn’t miss a strike against him.

If a guy lands a single strike and then gets taken down and finished, the grappler has 0% significant strike defense.
