if you had to pick a top 5 fighter or even champion who hasn't even reached
their prime yet who would it be?
 
Gregory McConner, Johnny Antonson, maybe Gustav Alexandersson and... Jon Jones
 
Chris Weidman.

if he was younger and less injured i'd agree because he is still so young in the sport and is still so good.

but he's already like 31 and has shitty knees, so by the time he gets the optimal skill set his body will start to crap.
 
gastelum , Pettis, dillashaw, khabib, Rory,
 
Jon Jones, Rumble Johnson @his new weight, Rory McDonald, shit that's a hard question considering my present state of mind; I will add to this list when I sober up.
 
-Chris Weidman
-Alexander Gustafsson
-Stipe Miocic
-Khabib Nurmagodmedov
-Myles Jury
-Tyron Woodley
-OSP
-Travis Browne
 
just a reminder that jones is only 2 years older than rory

Ya that's nuts. I still think the answer is Rory though, he's going to have a GSP level reign with the belt at some point I think. I hope not because I like Lawler, Diaz, Lombard, Brown etc. more than him but I just think it'll probably happen. I do enjoy Rory more than Hendricks though, I def didn't like Hendricks as champ. Although I thanked him for getting rid of GSP who's boring as shit. I'm rambling.

i agree with you on most of your post, he might get the belt but i dont see him as gsp. gsp had an unbeatable wrestling game, no matter what happens, if you dont ko him, he would just take you down and hold you there. rory doesnt really have that trump card if the fight isnt goig his way. even if hes better than his opponent, theyll still have a punchers chance, whereas gsp could just end your game and other than hendricks, his opponents only had a chance to one shot him when he was striking with them just to humor them.

being the best doesnt mean youre going to have a gsp reign, iyou have to have an answer when youre getting your ass kicked on a bad night. gsp never had a loss like lawler beating up rory
 
everyone in top 10 that is 30 years and younger lol

aldo will probably have 2 primes, if thats possible
