Who's the most well rounded/complete fighter in MMA currently?

[Takes Two To Tango]

I'm going to say this guy.

Especially a guy his size, it's more impressive.

I know Topuria is up there as well. But Chimaev is the man.

Also the reason I didn't pick Jon Jones is because he's had only 1 fight since 2020.

Ilia. I love Chimaev. He, Ilia, Aspinall, Jon Jones and Poatan are my current fave. But his stand up is horrible.

 

[KingBarbozaGOAT]

Islam

lol fair enough.

 

[TheMoa]

Poatan, his black Belt is so frightening that guys doesnt even try tô take him down anymore

 

[jackleeb]

best striking = pereiera
best boxing = ilia
best mma wrestling = khamzat

most well-rounded = islam or shavkat or jones or aspinall

 

[RichardHarrow]

I’m not sold on Shavkat just yet. Gets hit far too much.

 

[Luthien]

Jones

Islam/Topuria

Volk might still be up there

 

[Tweak896]

Shavkat is still unknown with his wrestling. Jones is the most proven well rounded fighter. Islam has balanced out his game with standup, so probably him after Jones leaves.

 

[World eater]

Jones is the most accomplished. Shavkat has the most potential. The other three are current top dogs.

Islam/Topuria

Volk is not as a great complete fighter as those other guys mentioned in the poll imo.

Ilia. I love Chimaev. He, Ilia, Aspinall, Jon Jones and Poatan are my current fave. But his stand up is horrible.

This. He's a very good specialist, but he's the least "Well rounded" of the bunch mentioned

A year ago he was.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

A year ago he was.

Fair enough. I'll add him.

 

[PurpleDrank]

Probably Islam

Fair enough. I'll add him.

No need, but the point stands. In the first match with Islam, Volk was very competitive as a fighter from a lower weight class. Now, 3 losses in a row later, he is no longer at the top. Izzy and Usman? A couple of years back, they were in goat discussions, but today people laugh at them and their “weak” legacies. If Shavkat loses his title shot, he becomes a nobody over night. If Ilia loses his next match, he remains good, but drops from the “top 3 at FW” conversation. Unless they break records, they are only hyped until the losses come.

The reason I say most complete, what i mean is how they finish their opponents and the guys mentioned in the poll are very versed in finishing opponents either by KO/TKO or Submission. That's how I see it.

No doubt Volk is a great fighter, but I don't think he's that complete in his skillset. That's just me.
