best muay thai fighters in each division?

[Rebel_LioN]

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

How do you have Dodson when MM literally beat the shit out of him with his Muay Thai clinch?

How about Thomas Almeida at bantamweight?

 

[Relentless chase]

Flyweight would be Mighty Mouse and no one in the 125lb division can come close to his Muay Thai.
I would think the best overall Muay Thai in the bantamweight division is possessed by TJ Dillashaw. that dude is a freak of nature with his striking.
Jose Aldo still has the best Muay Thai in the featherweight division.
Lightweight I would say.. Barbosa
Welterweight is kind of a toss up, he doesn't train Muay Thai, but Wonderboy has the best overall stand up in the 170lb division.
Middleweight would either be Anderson Silva or Luke Rockhold.
Light heavyweight would have to be Jon Jones and it's not even close.
Heavyweight would be Fabricio Werdum.

Who are those muay thai coaches?

Off the top of my head, Chudad is Aldo's MT coach, Anderson Silva's was Rodgrigo Vidal and Reem's was a guy name Flamingo. I also know Barboza started training in MT when he was eight, though I don't know his coach's name and won't be looking it up.

No it's 110% Barbosa.

[tenniswhiz]

I wouldn't say that. Anthony Njokuani has a simliar if not better thai boxing record and is trained under muay thai legend saekson janjira.
Not only that but both of them fought last year in a standup battle and alot of people considered it a draw (Both took a round a peice in the first two but the last round was close, alot of credics had the last round a draw).

That was a great fight.
I agree that it was a draw.

However, Njo is retired. Which makes Edson #1 at MT in the division.
