Anderson Silva... No exceptions.

 

[SlicerDM]

Anderson Silva

 

[Prince Nephilim]

If we are going by record then it's Anderson Silva

 

[Luger]

Masvidal, at times, is brilliant.

 

[Headkicktoleg]

[essie]

I mean I guess it must be Anderson.

 

[Rygu]

[The lord of bones]

Paddy Holohan

[Bacco]

Anderson but i liked Machida counters too

 

[muaytao]

Holly holms

 

[Genki Sudo II]

Masvidal
Spider
Aldo
Machida

 

[muaythaibeast]

Probably Anderson. What he did to Forrest was pretty immense. Forrest looked like he thought Anderson could read his mind and knew what was coming

 

[Mark Andeya]

Anderson, obviously. Machida, Aldo, Mighty Mouse, and Cerrone in that order.

 

[Fbed]

Uh, Anderson obviously followed by Machida.

 

[Bacco]

A lot of it depends on what kinds of strikes you value. As you can tell by my list, I value leg kicks a lot, because, in terms of strikes that are counters to other strikes, leg kicks are kinda where it's at. If you just think headhunting is more important, then you have to add guys like Liddell, Rich Franklin, I guess Holly Holm.

Anderson Silva
