The whole list threw me off on first read because Silva being honorable mention in an aura contest is just silly, but on reread I've decided OP must've just been introduced to the sport in the last 5 years. Join date checks out lol.Okay there 2019 account.
Anyone that doesn't mention Fedor is a filthy Newb or is just plain retarded. Cancel me bro. Fedor was the bestNew fans will never be able to grasp the aura that Fedor had in his prime. Never seen anything like it.
Jon Jones is the most dominant champ and all that, but he’s never felt unbeatable to me. As far as newer generation fighters, Khabib had the most aura. Even now I believe that Khabib could make Abu Dhabi weight and kick Islams ass. For the next gen, Topuria will be the next guy if he continues winning impressively.
Go watch some old fights and see what you missed.
Great list.
I'd place Anderson Silva right near the top though
And honestly, Ronda Rousey had an aura too, thanks to people like Rogan claiming she's the female Mike Tyson and the media hyping her
He had that ruining knees aura at least.I'm gonna throw in a wildcard that may not necessarily fit that well but anyways.
Palhares when he was on that streak of ruining peoples knees in like 20 seconds
This is a good one. When he won that HW belt from Sylvia, then defended against Gonzaga, he definitely had that "Randy's gonna find a way" type feeling. Same thing when he handles young Vitor, and plenty of others.Randy Couture…
Just something about him that made you believe he would just always overcome the odds, even well past the age of 40…
You substitute someone with Couture’s exact height, weight, and age against Lesnar and you wouldn’t give that man a shot in hell to defend his title, but a good amount people actually believed Couture would expose Lesnar…
QFTThe fact that you have Silva at honorable mention discredits everything else you said. That guy was the definition of aura during his reign.
Anderson Silva in his prime had the most aura of any UFC fighter. Fedor Emelianenko in his prime had the most aura of any MMA fighter ever.
