Top 10 Offensive fighters in MMA

[SandaKicker]

Fan film by me breaking this down into offensive skills (e.g. fast hands, submission skills, throws) as opposed to defensive skills (head movement, takedown defense, positional BJJ (not completely defensive but not as overtly offensive as sub skills)).



Who would you rank as your top 10?

To keep the first post fairly short, my countdown;

10) Demetrious Johnson

9) Rousimar Palhares

8) Wanderlei Silva

7) Shinya Aoki

6) Conor Mcgregor

I tried to pick people with a good variety of offence. Those two are amazing offensive fighters, but I wouldn't call them multi-dimensional threats (though in all fairness Charles Oliveira isn't really either and I picked him).

I'm curious why you have Rockhold on your list? All he has is kicks and great top game (his boxing and takedowns are laughable for an elite fighter).

 

[manboy<3]

do you consider hitting on the counter an offensive skill? lol @ Anderson being #1..he is a defensive fighter through and through

I don't like rankings and think they are dumb but when the words "Wrecking ball" Come to mind I think of guys like Kharitonov, wanderlei Silva, Melvin Manhoeff
