Top 10 strikers in MMA history: Who are?

[Tyler Durden]

Cro Cop is being disrespected in this thread.

 

[Kenny Powerth]

It's clear a lot of you guys are new or newer school fans

Some of these irrelevant names just scream "I started watching ufc because I thought Connor was cool"

 

[Kratos94]

Ngannou was alright, but not the best. His best striking performance was against Miocic who was literally dead inside

 

[TadDunbar]

1. Ronda
2. Belal
3. Colby
4. CM Punk
5. Paul Craig
6. Carla
7. Cindy Dandois
8. Jake Shields
9. Jon Fitch
10. Mike Russow

Actually Fedor beat Cro Cop took him down and control him. I rewatched this fight recently and Cro Cop landed the hardest blows but it was quite close till Mirko gass out

I'd say he pretty clearly got the best of Mirko standing overall, Mirko broke his nose with a jab but generally was backed up and took the bigger shots along showed excellent defence himself.

 

[PaulieVegas27]

Any list that doesn't include Edson Barboza is automatically flawed and wrong.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Just because fighter A outstrikes fighter B doesn't mean that fighter A is the better striker.

I keep seeing this repeated throughout the thread.

 

[DanDragon Machi]

Dustin and Khabib boxed conor's ears off. You have him but not the two who whipped his ass

Do you thin Khabib is a better boxer than Connor ?

 

[DanDragon Machi]

I can't undestand a best strikers list where Aldo belongs and Conor and Holloway don't...

 

[Subline]

I always find this a difficult list to make, but going by division it's easier.

• FLW: Mighty Mouse
• BW: O'Malley
• FW: Aldo or Volk
• LW: Poirier
• WW: Wonderboy
• MW: Silva
• LHW: Poatan
• HW: Ciryl Gane

 

[Doctor Grudge]

I can't undestand a best strikers list where Aldo belongs and Conor and Holloway don't...

Just because a fighter loses someone head to head doesn't mean they're worse.

 

[AmonTobin]

Sean O'Malley is in my top 10. The guy doesn't miss. He's a sniper.
Francis has power but I don't think he's among the best strikers.

 

[DanDragon Machi]

Just because a fighter loses someone head to head doesn't mean they're worse.

He lost by every elite striker who faced.
He not only lost, he was destroyed by every one of them

 

[benebox]

Off top of my head...

1-Silva
2-Pereria
3-McGregor
4-Aldo
5-Dillashaw
6-Cruz
7-Izzy
8-Machida
9-Holloway
10-Poirier

MVP, Rua, Belfort, Jones, Ngannou for top 15

 

[Kono dio da!]

This not includes only technique but also efficiency, physical quality, one punch power and endurence

My list:

1- Anderson Silva
2 - Alex Poatan
3 - Connor Mcgregor
4 - Israel Adesanya
5 - Jon Jones
6 - Max Holloway
7 - Robert Whittaker
8 - Tom Aspinall
9 - Francis Nganou
10 -Volkanovski

GLAZE!!!
jokes aside, Conor at number 3 is wild, considering Dustin packed his ass up in the rematches.
Silva is definitely not number one. He deserves to be on the list but not number one. Izzy and Alex are better. Aspinall but not wonderboy? Where's overeem? There are better options out there.

 

[ThePimblettEra]

Gotta think Rousey should be hovering around the top 3 here.
Those heavy, heavy arm punches had a lot of snap to 'em.

 

[Bork Neslar]

James Toney
Ray Mercer
Art Jimmerson
Ricardo Mayorga
Butterbean
Marcus Davis
Semmy Schilt
Anthoni Hardonk
Mark Hunt
Cung Le

 

[Bowel-forged Stool]

Conor, mystic Mac, Brock, Ronda, Khabib

 

[Strijfy]

Where is Hunt?

 

[L0ki]

Cro Cop was the 1st to come to mind.

Dunno in what order but....

CC
Reem
Aldo
Anderson
Poatan
Lyoto
Francis
Barbosa
Hunto
*dunno about this last slot
