[Takes Two To Tango]

For me it's these four.

lol at bas rutten

 

[Eiffel-sixtyFight]

Well Travis Fulton has all that experience. So as a safe bet I'll go with him.

Rutten has 13 submissions in his career.

 

[Human Bass]

Cejudo ended up extremely complete. Valentina is a safe choice too.

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

For me it's these four.

It’s pretty straightforward because you included several guys in the goat discussion. You should probably add Anderson Silva unless you want to start world war 3 in this thread.

I would argue the most well rounded in no particular order would be

jon
GSP
Fedor
DJ

guys like Anderson Silva, and khabib didn’t make it on there for me because IMO their game is more focused on a single overwhelming strength. This has nothing to do with who I think is the best, simply the most well rounded. The guys I chose have beat their opponents on the feet, on the mat, in the clinch, really, everywhere. If I had to include a fifth fighter it would be Anderson Silva.

Other - Khamzat..

Rutten has 13 submissions in his career.

hows his wrestling?

 

[TheSpider]

TS has one dimensional Matt Hughes but not well rounded Jose Aldo and Anderson Silva?

 

[Barteh]

It's going to have to be some heavy guys because the lighter guys lack the size and strength to be considered all round.

troll job

What a terrible list full of grapplers who can't strike and strikers who can't wrestle.
NIck is not well-rounded at all. Never has been. I thought that was his appeal?

And Mighty Mouse isn't a good striker. He's fast, "unorthodox" but his striking is very limited and he makes up for it by mixing in a lot of takedown work and misdirection. Yes, he's well-rounded, but meh. His bjj ain't great either.


Why in the hell was Dominick Cruz not on this list?

 

[Merman]

TS has one dimensional Matt Hughes but not well rounded Jose Aldo and Anderson Silva?

Aldo was my first choice.

 

[acannxr]

TS has one dimensional Matt Hughes but not well rounded Jose Aldo and Anderson Silva?

And his thread title isn't grammatically correct either .

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Matt Hughes is one dimensional? He has more submissions than Aldo and Silva combined.

 

[Bubzeh]

Nick Diaz is such an overrated guy...

I've gone Jon Jones (quite simply the GOAT all rounder).
Tony
Khabib
DC would be my 4th pick.

 

[Franklin U.]

Judging by choices, were or are......

....so based on longevity,prime & the topic :
Jones and Mousasi stand by themselves - then i can go down to guys like reem, fedor.....even Tony had a decent run. If Werdum walked into kings sooner thsn hed be up there.

I'm also excluding 125 which might not be fair but there was never a deep pool of talent otherwise DJ would be up there and Deiveson well on his way-

Hughes has some of the worst striking in WW history

 

[Wand claude van-damme]

[Wand claude van-damme]

jon Jones, DJ, and GSP
