Top 6 MMA Fighters by Skill Level (post UFC 322)

[fries in the bag]

1. Fedor (27 straight wins in Pride from 2001-2010)
2. GSP (Double Champ; 26 wins and 2 losses, both avenged)
3. Jones (Double Champ; 28 wins and 1 loss by DQ)
4. Islam (Double Champ; 28 wins and 1 loss early career)
5. Poatan (Double Champ; 13 wins and 3 losses, avenged Magomed former champ and beat Stylebender former champ)
6. Topuria (Double Champ; Undefeated 17-0. Beat Volk, who was P4P #1, and Holloway former champ)

Not:
- Anderson Silva had 0 wrestling. Would get mauled by Khamzat. Also Islam matched 16 straight wins, which was Anderson's strongest case for UFC Mt Rushmore.
- Demetrious Johnson had 11 title defenses in 1 weight class. But when he tried at 135, he couldn't win a second belt. So not a double champ, and Jones has 13 defenses > 11.

Islam most well rounded fighter in MMA history. He is the GOAT.

The claim that Silva had ‘0 wrestling’ is nonsensical.

anderson silva:
- 16 ufc fight win streak
- 34 wins, 11 losses

islam:
- 16 ufc fight win streak
- 28 wins, 1 loss
- double champion

i like anderson's style more. but islam has the better resume so he takes anderson's spot

Remove Poatan, add Anderson

Modern fans forget but Silva was special, going into fights it was not the question if he’d win but rather how

I just stumbled upon a compilation of Jones utilizing eyepokes in his fights.

Jones is a cheater. Dirty fighter. Please he dont deserve top 5

no. anderson has 11 losses and never achieved double champ

i like his striking, it's better than poatan
but this is mma, and in modern khamzat era, there would be a question if anderson could beat khamzat
