With Silva being the clear goat striker in the UFC, who is the #2 best striker?

[Kung Fu bb]

Silva is obviously the best / most spectacular striker to ever step foot in the octagon. Literally the only guy to enter the matrix and break all records.

Who´s the # 2 guy for you?

 

[illegalnature]

Eh i think Reem and Saki are both better strikers, and at a higher weight class.

 

[WaylonMercy5150]

Rizzo

 

[yookfarb]

Offensively, Reem is really good. But the guy has been KO'd 12 times in MMA and another 3 times in kickboxing. That's getting KTFO an awful lot to call him the GOAT UFC striker. Not getting KTFO is a pretty essential part of the striking game.

Getting ko'd by a middleweight wrestler who only had 8 fights doesn't scream good striker either.

Just because HWs can all ko each other 1 punch doesnt also mean Reem ko'd badr hari and shit Anderson wouldn't even live through lol

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Barboza has a pretty crazy, one-hitter-quitter arsenal.

 

[DS66]

Jose Aldo probably.

The Iceman has to be in the conversation.

Legacy wise? Aldo i guess???

 

[P4PKingBisping]

Bisping has the best boxing fundamentals

 

[truthisfreedom]

Everytime I see someone post some shit like this, a little piece of me dies. It's a painful reminder of what the UFC and the UFC fan base have become.

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

Ronda of course

 

[Kuggk]

Artem

Anderson got KO's by a middleweight wrestler at the tail end of his career after getting the hell beat out of him on the ground and resorting to doubling down on the taunting to try to bait Weidman into standing. Sure, he didn't plan on getting KTFO in the process, but I definitely understand why he did what he did.

Sorry man, if you get KTFO 12 times in MMA, you're out of the conversation for being the best all around striker.

 

[Glove]

Pedro Rizzo

 

[BoD 2.0]

Statistically, probably GSP.

 

[Kung Fu bb]

Barboza has a pretty crazy, one-hitter-quitter arsenal.

Barboza is my man, he´s got some of the most frightening KOs in thegame. I just wish he´d stop moving back so much and stood his ground a little more and throw bombs where he stands. Well, I guess that´s part of his style now of "finding space to throw those kicks".
