Who has the best jab in MMA?

[Codpiece]

I don't count GSP - he isn't active.

Right now my top 3, in no order:

Lawler
Aldo
Mousasi

 

[absolute madman]

honorable mention

 

[Ogata]

Joe Riggs used to have a great jab/boxing earlier in his career.

Thiago Alves has a decent jab as did Anderson Silva.

 

[PapaBherd]

Makdessi, Aldo, TJ.

 

[fortheo]

No mention of Gustaffson yet? He practically beat jon jones all because of his jabs both upstairs and to the body.

 

[iGnP]

to everyone saying GSP, he's not fighting anymore

my answer: joe-say

dark horse that no one else has mentioned so far: lawler

 

[A Pennysworth]

Edgars jab and head movement are pretty good for a wrestler. It may not be the best but it always impresses me.

 

[cungfu]

GSP. It was his most powerful punch.

 

[The Don]

Didn't Hendricks counter and maneuver away from GSP's jab a lot?

Cerrone actually ko'd Barboza with a jab- an incredible feat @ LW.

Hendricks was able to negate GSP's jab probably because Johnny's a southpaw and their jabs usually collide with each other. Even then GSP was able to land his 1-2's.

 

[The Don]

I think BJ also had a great jab.

 

[A Pennysworth]

I think BJ also had a great jab.

Featherweight BJ Penn. Not so much.

 

[JKS]

Couple guys come to mind, Aldo, Edgar,

 

[ShreddinMMA]

GSP and Mousasi both have very diverse jabs. Crisp, quick and they know how to hide it and set it up, as well as double and triple it.

Makdessi has a good one too. Very good at using it to get inside for the most part.

Cormier has an underrated one.

 

[Steveston]

Roy Nelson has an underrated jab, Roy usually sets his over hand right with a double jab.

 

[Got GOAT]

Gustafsson, Aldo, Makdessi, GSP (when he was active), Dillashaw

 

[Caramon]

GSP all-time. I'd go with Alvarez or Aldo today.

 

[justbetter]

used to be cutman stitch... but they took his jab

 

[Mistweaver]

Gsp

 

[Hihlosis]

GSP #1 with Frankie Edgar coming in a close second. Something about Edgar's head movement combined with that jab is money.

 

[NaziHunta]

Obviously Rhonda
