Who out of the following pairs is truly better OVERALL?

[BigMuffler]

We already know what happens when these guys fight one another (although rematches could go differently), but of the following pairs who do you think is better overall, as in against the rest of the division or just who has a better skillset? Pick one from each pairing.

Fabricio Werdum vs Alistair Overeem

BJJ god with great Muay Thai vs K-1 champion with great grappling. Also heart, cardio, and chin vs strength and power.

Daniel Cormier vs Alexander Gustaffson (afraid this might be one-sided...)

Old short wrestler who did better against Rumble vs young tall boxer who did better against Jones.

Luke Rockhold vs Chris Weidman

Young stud vs young stud. Wrestler with more emphasis on kicks and BJJ vs wrestler with more emphasis on hands and takedowns.

Robbie Lawler vs Rory Macdonald

Old school striking specialist vs new breed all-rounder and heir to GSP.

Rafael Dos Anjos vs Khabib Nurmagomedov

Current champ who does it all with a brutal style vs god of wrestling and uncrowned king according to some.

Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar

FW GOAT and king of anti-wrestlers vs former LW champ, ultimate wrestleboxer

Dominick Cruz vs TJ Thrillashaw

Original king of dance in MMA vs his more powerful and aggressive imitator.

Miesha Tate vs Holly Holm

Goddess of high school wrestling vs women's boxing GOAT.

Can't think of really fun ones to do for FLW and WSW. Make your picks!

"old short wrestler" what the fuck?

i'm not sure you understand whats going on here...

 

[helltoupee]

All those questions have already been answered .... except I would put RDA above Khabib right now. Khabib is just too injury prone and one dimensional.

There are always people who ignore the title and OP and just come and post some stupid sh*t, doesn't matter what you do.

Can one not understand that usually the fighter with the better skillset wins?

'Styles make fights.'

Also Werdum and Overeem are 1-1, DC vs Gus and Cruz vs TJ ended in semi-controversial decisions, Aldo vs Frankie was also pretty close, and Holm vs Tate was razor close. Lawler vs Rory as well. Not really clear cut here.

Lol wut? Holly Holm isn't the womens' boxing goat. Not by a long shot.
