Who are the 10 most technical fighters all time?

[DanDragon Machi]

Desconsidering power, size and outhers physical capabilites:

1- Islam Makhachev
2 - Petr Yan
3 - Jon Jones
4 - GSP
5 - BJ Penn
6 - Demetrious Johnson
7 - Topuria
8 - Chimaev
9 - Khabib
10 - Anderson Silva

Being the most technically skilled in MMA means having a larger arsenal of tools and fewer holes in your game. The set of skills and variations of Islam and Yan are amazing. Anderson is a genius as striking but lacks offensive wresting. Khabib is a incredible grappler but lacks striking skills

 

[Hotora86]

Lyoto Machida in pure striking.

If "having a larger arsenal of tools and fewer holes in your game" is what You're looking for then the term is WELL ROUNDED.

Tank Abott

Gathje

Jack “ just punch the c**t” Della Madalena

5. Khabib

7. Cain (at sea level)
8. Aldo

[Frode Falch]

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

 

[RockyLockridge]

It's gotta be mouse at number 1 then Georges for me

 

[World eater]

It's gotta be mouse at number 1 then Georges for me

This man gets it. I’ma put Silva as a third and final pick. That said, HW is still king.

 

[HuskySamoan]

1. GSP
2. Islam Makhachev
3. Jon Jones
4. Mighty Mouse
5. Petr Yan
6. Alexander Volkanovski
7. TJ Dillashaw
8. Ilia Topuria

These I can say come to mind as a cut above when were talking amazing technique and well rounded wellroundedness.

 

[Erimo]

We need to evaluate skill by skill, not accomplishments or dominance. That being said,

- DJ
- Benavidez
- TJ
- Yan
- Assuncao

Those are my picks. No holes, effective at any offense.

 

[PeterGriffin]

So basically GSP and then everyone else.

 

[Aluminati]

Vitor Belfort for having no known weaknesses.

 

[MrBean]

I'd put Valentina above Khabib in more skills per person

 

[spinup]

In no particular order:
GSP, Jones, DJ, Islam, Volk, Petr Yan, Shevshenko, Topuria, Chimaev

 

[DanDragon Machi]

1. GSP/Mighty Mouse
2. Bones
3. Werdum
4. Islam
5. Khabib
6. Petr yan
7. Cain (at sea level)
8. Aldo
9. Conor
10. Carlos condit

Werdum and Condit have no wrestling

 

[DanDragon Machi]

I'd put Valentina above Khabib in more skills per person

For sure, there is no five male fighters more skilled than Valentina
