Who and why? Go!

Mine- Prime BJ Penn. Loved to scrap, came to bang and gave us a cool website.

BJ Penn. Smaller guy that scrapped at any weight. Has some amazing fights. Motivated Penn... Two division champ.
 
Frankie and Kahbib are fighting for that #1 spot atm.
 
Jens Pulver is an always will be my favorite he is the pioneer of the lightweight division, plus his back story with being abused as a child etc is horrific and for him to land on his feet is a miracle if their was a such thing.
 
Prime BJ. Moving up and making easy work of the GOAT (in his prime) in a higher division is absolutely nuts. And what people often overlook is the fact that BJ was never a big LW. If the UFC and WEC merged sooner, BJ could have easily moved down and taken the FW strap from Faber or MTB.

Plus, the guy is crazy. I went to a press conference back when he was LW champ, and he offered to fight Anderson Silva. Going back further, he famously said that he'd fight Tim Sylvia back when he was HW champ. And we all know he's actually crazy enough to take those fights.
 
The man in my AV, without a doubt.

BJ’s KO of Caol Uno still ranks as one of my all-time favorite finishes in the sport.
 
If he actually comes back & goes on a run it will be Conor, but that's a big 'if'.

As of now, I got's to give hespect to Frankie. One of the most underrated fighters in UFC history.
