Best 145 pound fighter in the world?

[mattandbenny]

Who in your opinion is the best 145'er in the world? ie - if there were to be a round robin tournament between the 4 guys below, who would come out on top? These 4 are well ahead of the rest at the moment.

Conor McGregor - 19-3 MMA - 7-0 at FW in UFC
Jose Aldo - 25-2 MMA - 15-1 at FW in UFC/WEC
Frankie Edgar - 20-4 MMA - 5-1 at FW in UFC
Max Holloway - 16-3 MMA - 12-3 at FW in UFC

Frankie Edgar is the best 145er and the best 155er.

 

[Melas Chasma]

Conor holds dominant wins over Holloway and Aldo, hard to argue against him at this point. Edgar might be better, though..

To be fair Holloway is a very different (much better) fighter than he was when he fought McGregor.

 

[Sivo The Ram]

conor. wins over aldo, mendes, holloway, poirier.

as for number two? wouldnt be surprised if frankie beat jose

 

[Melas Chasma]

To be fair Holloway is a very different (much better) fighter than he was when he fought McGregor.

Still not improved enough to be the favorite against Conor in a potential rematch, imo.

 

[Woliwo]

The one that wins in UFC 200.

I agree to be honest, but would love to see that fight, would be a war!

I think Aldo beats Edgar again, I would love to see Aldo v Mcgregor rematch. Then for me that would be the deciding factor. Cus Aldo beats everyone else, including Holloway IMO

 

[Scamrock]

There is no such thing as the best. Each of those guys are beatable by somebody else.

The Answer is Frankie. See what I did there?

But man Max Holloway is a tough match up for anyone right now.

 

[mattandbenny]

Interesting to see people's opinion of Conor hasn't wained since the Diaz loss - thought this would be a really close poll but Mac is winning it easily.

 

[Money509]

Conor ktfo jose and easily beat holloway. Pretty hard to choose someone else

 

[B-Man]

I'd pick Aldo against all three of them, so yeah.

 

[mattandbenny]

I think Holloway would be a bad stylistic matchup for Aldo - Very long with good boxing. Aldo would eat up his legs though.

 

[this is my new account]

When connor comes back to fighting midgets, it will look very easy for him. Connor by a mile

Imagine McGregor slugfesting it with Max at the end like that. Could kill Max IMO. Either way would love to see that fight. I have McGregor
