Who are the 10 most technical fighters all time?

Khabib.

He had the most complete ground game ever extremely underrated striking and best fight iq ever. He barely lost a moment in a fight.

He's proving how technical he is as coach.

 
Bang Ludwig showed a  technically perfect performace against Johnathan Goulet. Punched him in the face one time and called it a night.

 
Idk where Volk got his skills from fighting out of a little known gym in NSW but he’s surly in contention although he doesn’t have the best wrestling he is still a great defensive grappler which plays more into his game.
 
Let’s give the LW version of Frankie Edgar some hespect

He was extremely technically proficient in all areas in a weight-class where he gave opponents all the physical advantages over him
 
You guys cant have one fighters with only one good skillset in your list.

Also top 10 is way too long list.

TOP three or five is more realistic in a young sport like mma

I don't agree with this part. Compare Demian Maia vs Jacare. Is Jacare considered more technical or more well-rounded? They are not synonymous to me.

In the well-rounded argument, I think Khabib gets too much flak. It's true he is not well-rounded like Islam but Islam had to become well-rounded to be elite; Khabib didn't. That is the difference.
 
Gotta give a mention to the original gangsta, Royce Gracie.

I hate how the modern narrative has become "Oh his brother set up the tournament for him to win "

Royce still had to beat 3 - 4 dudes in one night, many of them way bigger than he was.

"But those dudes had zero grappling!"

Yeah buddy, Judo champ Remco Pardoel, Ken Shamrock and Dan Severn had zero grappling. Sure.

Royce had to be technical as fuck to beat these HW monsters, and he doesn't get enough credit for it
