Thoughts on best fighters p4p who don't hold a belt? 1. Dos Santos 2. Machida 3. Evans 4. Edgar 5. Condit
They would be past champions, like fedor. Even though he can only beat cans, he did cut a lot of hieght. Yes, I train UFC. Just bleed your own blood
1. JDS 2. Hendo 3. Machida 4. Hendricks 5. Condit 6. Overeem 7. Cormier 8. Edgar 9. Rashad 10. Gustafsson
Most people think he won his last fight (some would suggest he won the fight before it, as well). Those fights were for the UFC LW title. Therefore, it can be assumed that most people think he deserves to be the UFC LW champion.
Edgar is a good pick for number one. A featherweight that could move up and beat the LW champion (Ben is my favorite fighter, but the second fight was close enough that Edgar is still arguably the champ) Hendricks is also a great pick. The guy has a better win streak right now than the champ of his division lol. And let's face it, p4p should mean the guy who can demonstrate great skills against people bigger than him, and Hendricks is a puny welterweight compared to most of the guys at his level. Urijah Faber has to be on this list dude. He'd could move back up to featherweight and beat almost everyone imo. Not Aldo obviously, and Edgar would outscore him, but i mean, c'mon, look at the dude's resume. A lot of people have JDS in their rankings. I think that's fair. The guy is so far above most of the division. So dangerous, yeah, regardless of weight, that is terrifying. Poor Machida and Rashad. Two of the top 3 light heavyweights and they really should be middleweights. They deserve spots on this list. Jon Fitch imo deserves a spot. Just for being Jon Fitch. And I'm gonna put Sonnen on the list too. There's not a ton of logic for this placement, I just think the guy is one of the toughest almost-champs of all time.
Many seem to think that Condit is the second best WW. I don't. There are few guys better than him. HW: JDS, Cormier, Overeem LHW: Machida, Evans, Henderson MW: Weidman WW: Hendricks LW: Pettis FW: Edgar
Imo the best fighters in the world today (most in\near top 10) to never hold a major (UFC, Bellator, Strikeforce, Pride, WEC, Tachi) title include: Anthony Johnson Johny Hendricks Donald Cerrone Phil Davis Joseph Benavidez Alexander Gustafson Glover Teixera Chris Weidman Costa Phillipou Demian Maia (welterweight version lol) Mike Pierce Gray Maynard Nate Diaz Mark Hunt Chad Mendes Marcos Galvao John Moraga And of course maybe the most exciting fighter in the world ever: Korean Zombie And imo the best of these guys in each weight class: Mark Hunt Anthony Johnson Chris Weidman Johny Hendricks Nate Diaz Korean Zombie Marcos Galvao John Moraga
