What is your all-time top NON-p4p list?

[GiganticMeat]

Rank fighters in terms of absolute power. Assume anyone lower than HW doesn't cut weight for this

Edit: Well I can see this is leading to confusion and is maybe too open ended. So how about ALL time top-strongest fighters list. Openweight

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Peireira, Jiri, Ank, DDP, maybe Jan replace #6-10 for the top ten HWs.

Thread title is confusing. A non P4P list of fighters who have the most power? So fighters who have power but aren't P4P worthy?

Absolute power or ability as in, who's the strongest. No p4p factored into it. Who's the baddest man

Left it open ended as to whether people want to do current fighters, or all time (which can include current fighters, of course)

I was going to say interesting, but now I'm not sure you mean the LHWs go first or replace #6-10 of the heavyweights. One is definitely less spicy I'm assuming the latter

Ts being non-binary currently makes a lot more sense to me than the thread title

Make a top 10 list. But instead of it being a p4p all time list, it's just an all time strongest fighters list.

Include more than 10 if you want. The concept is simple.

So something like this, ripped off from the "Is Izzy top 10 p4p" thread

In no particular order apart from 1, let's start listing off some names:

Fedor
Big Nog
Werdum
Cain
JDS
Cro Cop
Stipe
DC
Barnett
Coleman
Couture
Arlovski
Timmeh Timmeh
Randleman
Rizzo
Aspinall

Oh wait by 'top MMA fighters', you meant we're doing silly 'P4P' fantasies again? My bad, carry on children.

Except personally, I think when you get to about DC (who indeed fought at LHW), you can start to include LHWs or even MWs. SHWs? Freakshow fighters? Go for it

I'd put Prime Bob Sapp pretty high on this list for instance

 

[GiganticMeat]

1. Aspinall

the rest is impossible lol

Well sure, this takes a bit of a feat of imagination, but so does a p4p list, no? Personally, all time, not sure where I put Aspinall yet, but he seems pretty promising.

Fedor and Ngannou would be near the top of my list

oh for some reason thought you meant current fighters

 

[RockyLockridge]

Cain
Fedor
Jones
Stipe
JDS
Werdum
Big Nog
Uberreem
Rumble
DC

 

[PaulieVegas27]

Edson Barboza, Melvin Manhoef, Rusimar Palhares (UGH!), James Thompson, Don Frye, Shane Carwin, Mark Hunt, Junior Dos Santos come to mind.

I thought you meant current not all time.

 

[Tweak896]

Rumble (p4p), Ngannnou, Carwin, maybe Lewis on a good night.

 

[Gregoire1]

Ngannou
Jones
Stipe
Ubereem
Lesnar
DC
Cain
Fedor

 

[TeenageMutantLesnarTurtle]

Fedor, Cain, Jon, DC, Ngannou, Ubereem, Nog, Werdum, Barnett, Carwin

 

[Iroh]

Might want to include strongest or most powerful (I don't know which one you actually mean)in the title too, because otherwise people might think you meant best or greatest, and non-P4P doesn't automatically mean absolute, it could also be divisional or whatever else that isn't P4P lol. Absolute is indeed the word to be used, here.

I'll go Ubereem, Brock, Cain, DC, Carwin, Hunt, Ngannou for strongest, in no particular order. Maybe Almeida too.

Powerful, Carwin, Ngannou, Pav, Tom, Lewis, Hunt also not in any particular order.

Honorable mention is Tank for both categories I guess.

Also, that's for UFC, if we are doing all of MMA, you gotta include guys like Bob Sapp, Pudz and even Karelin if you count the one match he had. At least for sttongest that is.
