Which is the top10 best brazilian fighters in history?

[DanDragon Machi]

It's not about who had best career but that who has reached the highest performance level and performed most impressive fights in his prime

1 - Anderson Silva
2 - Alex Pereira
3 - Lyoto Machida
4 - Mauricio Shogun
5 - Vitor Belfort
6 - Charles Oliveira
7 - José Aldo
8 - Junior Cigano
9 - Ronaldo Jacaré
10 - Wanderlei Silva

Damn, TS really hate Aldo lol

 

[Sonny Qc]

putting Jacare before Big Nog or Werdum is also puzzling to me.

 

[Hog-train]

Wanderlei deserves to be higher on the list.

 

[World eater]

Apart from the order in which they appear, I presume Jacare instead of Minotauro was an accidental mistake.

Aldo at 7 and no Big Nog on your list? Jacare above Wanderlei?

 

[don't ask]

Silva, Aldo, Big Nog, Shogun and Wanderlei should be on the top of any list like this. Machida, JDS and Charles should be on the next tier. I have no idea where to put Alex Perreira.

EDIT: I can't believe I forgot Amanda Nunes! Thank you @kamikado and @Bubzeh for reminding me. She goes in the top tier.

Royce Gracie
Amanda Nunes
Minotauro

Ronaldo Jacare? Lol

I think thery are pretty close in the skil-set to be honest. Jacare had a better jiu-jitsu and better take downs (he took Romero down), was most explosive/athletic and probably had a better relative punch
Werdum had a better MT but a boxing much worse

 

[Bubzeh]

Amanda?

She'd get top 3 on my list. Probably top 2.

 

[don't ask]

Royce Gracie
Amanda Nunes
Minotauro

Ronaldo Jacare? Lol

Amanda?

She'd get top 3 on my list. Probably top 2.

You're both right about Amanda. I can't believe I forgot her.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

1. Anderson
2. Wanderlei
3. Aldo
4. Big Nog
5. Shogun
6. Machida
7. Royce
8. Nunes
9. JDS
10. Olivera

 

[DanDragon Machi]

Amanda?

She'd get top 3 on my list. Probably top 2.

I'm inly considering men

 

[DanDragon Machi]

Royce Gracie
Amanda Nunes
Minotauro

Ronaldo Jacare? Lol

This not a greatest/most historical list. Royce was one-dimensional and would have no chance to become a champion nowadays, not enven 15 years ago. Prime Ronaldo would have all the chances to beat Dricus, Strickland and Chimaev

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I think Barao deserves a shout if you're talking absolute primes. He fell off hard but before the TJ fight he was something else.

 

[Westbrick]

Anderson > Aldo > Werdum > Big Nog > Arona > Wand > Patricio > Machida > Belfortrt > Shogun

 

[Bork Neslar]

Personal rankings are a futile activity. They're useless.

 

[chinarice]

WTF is with that Wand disrespect? Dude is near the top of the all-time BR list.

 

[DatSamboKid]

1) Anderson Silva
2) Jose Aldo
2) Big Nog
3) Amanda Nunes
4) Royce Gracie
5) Wanderlei
6) Shogun
7) Werdum
8) Pereira
9) Belfort
10) Machida

 

[Fergelmince]

Werdum wasn't too bad.
