How do you rank Chuck Liddell in a p4p scale?

[DanDragon Machi]

In my opinion Chuck was one of the best counter strikers in MMA history and one of the most terrible for grapplers since he could knock out people walking backwards. How many fitghters in history had a more efficient striking than him in MMA history?

Above him: Anderson, Jones, Poatan, Topuria, Mcgregor, Adesanya, Holloway, Whittaker, Volkanovski
Same level: Lyoto, Shogun, Vitor, Rumble, Overeen, Aspinall, Cigano, Miocic, Ngannou, O'Malley, Yan, GSP, Venon, Gane, Mirko, Fedor, Thompson, Poirier, Gustafsson, DC

My criterie: Technique + KO power + Athleticism (reach, explosiviness etc)

Bout tree fiddy.

 

[HHJ]

I dont do rankings

He was a tough motherfucker but there were guys in Pride besides Rampage, like Henderson and Arona who could have given him big problems

Wanderlei too if Wanderei was in his prime and didnt just box.

 

[El Diego]

DJ and Cejudo

 

[Ares Black]

He's probably somewhere in the Top 100.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Every fighter has their prime years and he looked good during his but thats about it.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Not as good of a chin as @Intermission

Not as good of a chin as @Intermission

@Intermission would bait the LHK of Mirko just to wake himself up. Not even block it, just to taste the sting.

Ronda hit harder and had a better chin

Ronda hit harder and had a better chin

Well that's just true.

But we all know that.

its not fair to all the other fighters to keep bringing that up.

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Not sure about p4p

Top 10 LHW though

 

[HavokHarmon]

It’s always tough to do that MMAmath since so much of it is matchups. Chuck had the ability to make guys stand with him in a way that not a lot of other people could.

 

[Intermission]

Lyoto Machida was below Chuck. Machida got outstruck by both Weidman and rockhold - grapplers who were winter world champions. And Jones. And Romero. And Brunson. And Shogun..

What made Machida difficult to a lot of mma fighters was that he had outstanding grappling and he knew karate. Tito Ortiz had no answer to tha that
But Most of Lyotos losses was due to strikes even if they ended on the ground.

Believe it or not, the weakest part of machidas game was striking,he had much more holes in that than his grappling.

Chuck Liddell didnt have much bjj skills. But he didmt need it. His defensive wrestling was outstanding.

Hehe. Definitely not. I can tell you guys how head kicks feel though. It's like getting hit with a hammer the size of a leg.

It's so powerful it doesnt hurt You get numbed
