Who is the best MMA striker of all time?

[Dozer .]

We all know that MMA is a lot different than pure striking. So I ask: who is the best MMA striker of all time?

Please discuss.


I say it’s Anderson Silva.

 

[Pitier of Fools]

Yeah, I have to go with Silva too. There have been better boxers, etc., but as a complete striker nobody else tops him in my opinion.

 

[ArtemV]

Silva's only good wins are Belfort and Franklin x2. He fought many guys who can't strike.

I would probably go with McGregor, maybe Wonderboy, GSP is a good shout, too.

Not really a fan of his, but I think I'd go with Alistair Overeem.

 

[gono btw]

Many great strikers didnt have the opportunity to shine, since the transition is pretty hardcore, and the results had to be there quickly...

But technically, they could be equal or better than those with the highest reputation...

 

[VitorBelfoTRT]

Going w/ Silva as well. Hes very fluid and flowy.. its hard to explain. Hes just different.

 

[qw3rty]

Silva
TRT Belfort
Aldo

In that order IMO

 

[Gambit MMA]

cro cop

Are you really trying to say GSP was/is a better striker than Anderson Silva? lol

Might be the dumbest thing i've read in awhile.

 

[FIMN]

In no particular order

Anderson
Aldo
CroCop
Fedor
Reem
McGregor
BJ Penn
Nick Diaz

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Ofc it's fucking Crocop

 

[James Baller]

1.

2.

 

[Ares Black]

That's a tough decision.

It's gotta be either CM Punk or Ronda Rousey.

 

[josh345]

Anderson, Machida, Connor, Holloway, Overeem. Worthy top 5 I think. They aren't in any order. Aldo and Cro cop should be honorable mentions

 

[FIMN]

That's a tough decision.

It's gotta be either CM Punk or Ronda Rousey.

I don't know why but his technical seems to get worse every time the gif loops...

 

[TUFNewb]

Not Anderson. Too many holes in his standup.

 

[Dozer .]

Not Anderson. Too many holes in his standup.

The majority of people disagree with you.

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

I'll go with Anderson. So many ko's, so much variety, and so many highlights.

 

[laleggenda27]

Anderson is the obvious choice. The guy simply had more tools than any striker in the sport's history. You literally had to worry about all "eight limbs," unlike other strikers who relied more on specific strikes. We've Anderson KO people with power punches, jabs, knees, and elbows. Who else can we say that about?
