best muay thai fighters in each division?

I'm sory but Diabate has the best Muay Thai at LHW, and it's not even close.

And Shogun knows something about this.
 
Shogun has some of the best MT in the sport for sure. It's just his cardio and defence that has really slipped since he won the title and had the knee surgeries.
 
i think its more than fair to mention paul daley at ww and melvin manhoef at MW
 
I think the Pettis vs Cerrone fight will be epic. Ill be happy AND upset either way...lol.
 
Straw Weight=Jojo Calderwood
Feather Weight=Jose Aldo
Light Weight=Donald Cerrone
Welter Weight=Matt Brown
Middle Weight=Anderson Silva
Light Heavy Weight=Shogun Rua
Heavy Weight=Alistair Overeem
 
This is a strange thread. None of the guys mentioned here are muay thai fighters

This is a strange necro, and I think the thread title is worded incorrectly but the meaning is clear.

The correct title would be "who has the best standup striking in each division?"
 
No hate, no flaming, I just want opinions. Here I'll give you mine.

Fly weight=John Dodson
Bantam Weight=Renan Barao
Feather Weight=Jose Aldo (honorable mention to Korean Zombie)
Light Weight=Toss up (Edson Barbosa, Donald Cerrone, Anthony Pettis)
Welter Weight=Carlos Condit (honorable mention to Thiago Alvez)
Middle Weight=Anderson Silva
Light Weight=Shogun Rua
Heavy Weight=Alistair Overeem

Can someone remind me what these guys muay thai records are??

For some reason I cant find any. WEIRD
 
hummm very few really, no one is close to what is called a muay thai fighter, barboza is the closest
 
Overeem
Shogun
Anderson
Cowboy
Barbosa
Aldo
Almeida
?
 
None of the guys mentioned here have it. Maybe some kickboxing
Barboza, Aldo, Anderson etc all have Muay Thai coaches. They can't use the art purely, of course, because it wouldn't work ad effectively in an MMA context.

You're being needlessly pedantic.
 
Who are those muay thai coaches?
