Who do you think is the most talented HW fighter in the UFC?

[andrei.42]

I'm not asking who is the best fighter, but who is the most talented. For example you can be the most talented fighters in the world, but if you have a bad chin you are fucked no matter how talented you are.

Werdum's BJJ talent in itself trumps most HW fighter's overall skill set

 

[Bacco]

Werdum or Overeem

But in his best shape Cain still is the greatest HW ufc ever had

 

[PrinceOfPain]

Werdum and Overeem. I think you're going to see that answer a lot in this thread.

Not a great question.

I don't think you understood my question... I asked who do you think is the most TALENTED, not the BEST. Cain might have been the best, he might still be, but he sure as hell isn't the most talented.

werdum is the obvious answer. as mentioned above, werdum v1.0 with only BJJ was competitive - the new and improved version with potent striking is going to be damn hard to beat by anyone.

Most talented HW in the UFC doesn't even fight in the HW division.

IMO.

Jon Jones is the most talented HW in the UFC and the guy hasn't even had a HW bout.

He has the athleticism, the right mind set (In regards to the fight game) and the size.


* Outside of fighting, he's a POS and I don't care for the guy but in terms of MMA -- Jon Jones is the uncrowned King of the Heavyweight division.

I replied, talented Werdum or/then Overeem

Tbh JDS ever looked to me more a physical gifted fighter

Big tall very athletic dude, strong, fast, very heavy hands and great chin

Sure he have good instinct, timing and so on
But does'nt look like a natural striking genius tbh, more like physical gifts and ufc HW level made him look like Terminator for a while

(JDS was my fav ufc HW)

LOL.... he is talented with his hands... overall he is pretty unidimensional and untalented fighter.

This.

JDS is a physical gifted, not really talented.

Frank Mir won the heavyweight title at 24. Before the accident he had a very promising career ahead of him.

Overeem is the most talented but I believe Werdum is still better
