Pick 5 fighters: MMA Mt. Rushmore

[MuyThaiElbows]

Fedor
Anderson
BJ Penn
GSP

 

[Natty Dread]

Fedor, Anderson, Couture and Severn

 

[ShindoNinja]

Couture
Fedor
Chuck
Royce
Anderson

 

[Willek]

Unique thread subject.

 

[Mr. BABB]

1) Royce
2) Chuck
3) Fedor
4) GSP
5) Anderson Silva
or
5b) Wanderlei Silva (He was one of the most popular international stars in his day plus he was a beast).

Honorable Mention:
If we're including WMMA then you have to either include Ronda Rousey for her domination or Gina Carano for being the "pioneer." Carano would definitely make a better bust.

UFC: Royce Chuck Brock GSP Conor

MMA: Royce Fedor Bas Ronda Wanderlei(?)

Keith Hackney never gets any love

 

[Steve-French]

Cro Cop is literally my favorite fighter ever, deserve or not he going up there. Shogun is a former champ and has been in some of the best fights ever, one of the most entertaining fighters ever IMO

I'm not denying that shogun was a bad ass and an entertaining fighter, but he wasn't a Pioneer and he was only really on top for about 2 years early in his career and was never consistent after that.

It would be like calling Micheal Vick an all time great in Football. I guess you could call him a Pride Legend, but imo he's not an all time great. What the hell do I know though I'm just some butthole that posts on Sherdog.

No Datsik? You suck

I actually wanted to include him, but TS said only 5 fighters. Should have prolly picked him instead of Paul Harris. Also lacking space for Lee Murray.

 

[yeguiza]

1 sakuraba
2 jbj
3 fedor
4 anderson
5 minowaman *

* minowaman is true # 1 but he´s such a gentleman that he´s leaving place for the others

also, saku beating him was absolute BS

Honorable mention:

WANDY

FUCk haters

 

[Dana_is_your_GOD]

Platinum Mike Perry
Fedor
GSP
BJ Penn
Royce Gracie

 

[still]

originally:
royce, fedor, gsp, jones, silva

but after PED busts:
i'd replace royce, jones, and silva bc they were all busted (fedor never caught and even "if" he did juice everyone was doing it in pride so i dont hold it against him)

sakuraba, fedor, couture (probably juiced but everyone juiced back then), aldo, gsp (highly suspicious he juiced so i have bj penn as a potential sub)

in terms of influence:

royce, bj penn, sakuraba, couture, conor

edit: none of these in particular order
