I am bored so figure i am gonna make a list of best pure striker each weight class. For striking I am going to include everything from standing damage in the clinch to kicking range. I am going to do fighters who main use their stand up skills. So people like Edgar while a great boxer I am going to exclude, not to downplay their striking just to make it easier for me.

  • Flyweight: Kyoji Horiguchi
  • Bantamweight :TJ Dillashaw (Cruz uses his wrestling a lot more, so put him as more MMA fighter)
  • Featherweight: Mcgregor (Would be interested to see him vs Holloway 2.0)
  • Lightweight: Barboza
  • Welterweight: Stephan Thompson
  • Middle Weight: Silva (even though his boxing is rather poor)
  • Light Heavyweight: Gustafsson
  • Heavy Weight: Allstair Overeem
  • Straw weight: Jedrzejczyk
  • Bantam weight: Holly Holms

    Whats your list?

At featherweight he probably has the best striking acumen, his ability to measure distance is probably the best at the weight too.
 
I was originally going to leave him out just because I did not want this to turn into a Mcgregor thread. I am putting power in with skill. Mcgregor has a very fine tuned game to deliver his power. His power also is less power and more timing and accuracy according to Chad.
 
If anyone has a problem with his choice for Conor they're most likely a Conor hater, or just a dumbass.
 
They all train mma, so that makes them impure. They are not pure, they are dirty, filthy, despicable mma guys! Fuck mma! MMA sucks.

FW. still Aldo imo.

FW. MM

woman, lol good striker
(it's a joke relax)
 
Yeh, I was tempted to go with Nate , I actually think he is more skilled then his brother. I still think a smart application of the whole low kick strategy would still work on him even though it is a little harder now.

I'm not even a Conor fan, and his haters are annoying as hell, but all you've said is "no" and posted a meme without saying who at Featherweight is a better pure striker than Conor. That sounds pretty haterish.

Aldo.

I don't hate any fighter.
 
Flyweight: benavidez
BW: Dillashaw
FW: Holloway
LW: Cerrone or Barbosa
WW: Wonderboy
MW: Uriah Hall
LHW: Rumble
HW: overeem and hunt
I don't know if they are the best but they are my faves so whatever
 
Flyweight: Horiguchi or Scoggins. Probably Horiguchi. Soon you will all find out about Guchi once he gets his TDD down and wreaks havoc on the FLW division.

BW: Cruz or Dillashaw
FW: McGregor
LW: Diaz
WW: Wonderboy
MW: Anderson
LHW: Rumble
HW: Miocic or Overeem
 
Barboza is THE absolute best striker I've seen offensively in the UFC. Guys technique is impeccable.
