Best GnP ever: Jones, Cain, Khabib, Fedor?

Jon Jones & Cain Velasquez. Fedor was more of a submission artist on the ground. Khabib also had his moments of ground & pound but he did more suffocating & manhandling than actual ground & pound.
 
Jon’s GNP isn’t as consistent as the others, as in it is not utilized as a weapon in the same way Khabib and Fedor did with theirs. Khabib immobilizes you and hits you as many times as he can with as hard of shots as he can in every opening he can land a punch in, he doesn’t stop and it is his main offensive tool either to get you to block and open up a sub, or to eventually get a tko or ko

Fedor’s GNP was just fearless man, he would dive in standing into the guard of world class BJJ black belts with huge punches and not an dash of fear in his heart or mind.

I don’t want to write anymore because the page refreshed and deleted the rest of what I had to say but I also had individual paragraphs for GSP, Cain, Jon and the website just refreshed and deleted it all. I think I’m done with the forums for today guys. Peace. Discuss.
 
well that's the thing right? where does the natural talent end and the PED level up begin? it's the same for every PED user in every sport. the only thing we can say for sure is they likely had some natural talent, the problem is we cannot tell how much because they cheated.
Pretty much. Obviously he felt like he needed it enough to close the gap ir secure the lead over others.
 
Fedor vs Herring was absolutely brutal.

But nobodies GnP was as devastating as Igor Vovchanchyn vs Enson Inoue. He damn near killed that man.

Jon literally just smashed Stipe's face in like it was still 17 years ago.

Tf you mean it isn't consistent

As in like his consistent persistent attack
Jon has a choice the other guys (other then Fedor) are specialized wrestlers by nature. I’m not saying he can’t keep up his attacks or that his attempts are failing, I just mean he utilizes it less than the other guys
But yeah those elbows on stipe were brutal, almost reminded me of the Vera KO which was stupid brutal and looked like one of the most painful moments in UFC history. Also completely forgot about Jon vs Matyushenko. Jon’s GNP could come from the other side of the cage and the high angles the strikes come from take these fighters off guard, his arms are just so long that I bet the added height makes the gnp punches even harder with gravity especially compared to Jon’s standing punches

They had the audacity to sell that poor Enson was going to make it to his corner let alone to the next round lol
"Enson's gonna make it!"
Yea I'm hoping he makes it too man, Igor should just take the money he owes him and leave, this is over the top <lol>

I would argue that the guy who uses it effectively consistently like Jones does is better at it than the guy who simply uses it consistently with differing results.

Quality > quantity. Which Jones also does have a ton of too.
 
Jones
Cain
Fedor
In any order these are my top 3
 
GSP had great GnP, but I would say Khabib had probably the best.
 
Not my top pick, but he was up there. Just a heads up. There is a tinsy bit of blood.
 
Khabib and Cain had strong top control and a high pace, but they punch. They rough up the opponent, leave them bloody, but the guy will be ok.

Jon Jones has great top control, a slightly lower output but is in a class of his own. He is particularly mean and sadistic when he had his opponents down. He rarely punches, and instead throws bone shattering elbow strikes. I believe He has the scariest GnP
 
They had the audacity to sell that poor Enson was going to make it to his corner let alone to the next round lol

Hearing him talk about the fight after the fact was rough. He had a severe concussion, his body got battered so hard his kidneys were shutting down, his ear drum was ruptured, he had vertigo, and needed to be hospitalized.
 
Khabibs positional-prowess changed the game forever. I love how fighters took note and adapted their own game to “Make Grappling Great Again”


Fedor stands out to me throwing and landing fucking BOMBS accurately


Cain is right up there too, always grounding and hurting fools


Shout out to Glover, wish he woulda got signed a lot younger, he could have a lot larger HL reel under his belt under the UFC banner

They don't make 'em like they used to, that's certain.
 
Luke Rockhold imo. He brutalized multiple BJJ blackbelts. I don't recall anyone ever having a good time with him on top. His problem was his wrestling wasn't good enough to consistently get the fight to the ground. A lot of the time he ended up on top because his opponent made a mistake.
this is a good choice. when he was on top he always wound up close to finishing, he was brutal there.

tito should actually get a nod here too - one of the few guys to consistently do serious damage from the guard.
 
Jones easily has the most dangerous gnp. He cuts and brutalizes opponents on the ground.
