In MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) who is the greatest pound for pound fighter of all time?

I am not a fan of Wikipedia as a source. A website that will pull up "Bonfire of the Vanities" as a terrible Tom Hanks movie and not an event in history has it's priorities gravely out of order.

Bas Rutten Undefeated UFC champ, three time champ in one of the toughest martial arts there is, and trainer/student to some of the greatest martial artists I've ever personally known. I myself have had the honor to train with Bas twice, and he's amazing. Anyone who can do a headstand with just his neck muscles from a prone position and knock a large man down with a slap is pretty cool in my book.

I've suffered the evil of his liver punch too...very not fun. Between his record basrutten.tv/ sherdog.com/fightfinder/fightfinder.asp?... and having firsthand knowledge of his fighting/training/sparing/instructing skills...he gets 'greatest' as far as I'm concerned.

A lot of great fighters but my pick Matt Hughes. There have been a lot of great UFC fighters: Royce Gracie - the first great fighter...would be hard to argue against him being the best except Hughes beat him. Still holds some immpressive accomplishments and beat guys literally twice his size.

Marco Ruas - Never really lost in the UFC. Dangerous all around fighter. Chuck Liddell - Impressive striker that could also grapple.

Heavy hands. Andre Alrlovski - Intimidating...impressive power...looked dangerous. Tim Sylvia - A huge man...did not really look impressive but proved himself in the ring.Powerful.

Randy Couture - The veteran. Beat all of the best...tough as they come. Frank Shamrock - Yes the other Shamrock...never lost in the UFC.

Got out of favor with the league for whatever reason...but was as tough and technical as they came. Pat Miletich - Great technician and teacher. Has had a ton of great fighters under him.

Why Matt Hughes number one? I think he has shown himself to be an all-around great fighter. He can grapple with the best, top flight with submissions, can throw punches with most...he is stronger than any at his weight...great endurance.

Couple time champion. So he is my pick.

It's definitely open to debate, but I would say Fedor Emelianenko This is a tough question to answer. The sport has gone through tremendous changes in the last decade or so. With fighters advancing in skill so rapidly, a fighter can go from being a dominant champion to a has-been in just a couple of years.

The sport you see today bears almost no resemblance to the early UFC events in the mid-90s. Compared to other sports, there are few ’stats’ to compare fighters with. I think determining the all time best fighter requires a combination of analyzing fighters’ career records and seeing the key fights for yourself.My views are coming from someone who has viewed _almost_ every major mixed martial arts event since UFC 1.

My choice for best all time pound-for-pound fighter is Fedor Emelianenko, a still active Russian heavyweight. Here are some of Fedor’s accomplishments: - won the 2002 RINGS King of Kings tournament - won the 2004 PRIDE Heavyweight Grand Prix tournament - was reigning, undefeated PRIDE heavyweight champion when PRIDE disbanded. He had held the title since 2003 - scored two very convincing victories over Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (himself one of the top two or three heavyweights in MMA history) - currently on an undefeated streak lasting seven years, which is an eternity in MMA - career record of 26-1.

Never been knocked out or made to submit. S one loss was a stoppage due to a cut. S 26-1 record is even more impressive when considering his level of competition which has been consistently very high.

I don’t think any MMA fighter, past or present in any weight class, can match Fedor’s resumé.

In My Opinion.... I will preface by saying I have abandoned MMA and gone back over to boxing. I understand shy people like it so much, when not grappling, it is exciting fast paced fighting, but it seems like since it has been opened to the masses it has become a great figher vs a slug, or constant grappleing which is more boring than two incapable heavy weights leaning on each other for 12 rounds. Anyway, in my mind from what I have watched, I would say Ken Shamrock is the best I have ever seen, pound for pound, even when grappling he is active and constatly inflicting pain.

I guess what it comes down to is that he is a greatd stand up fighter and a great fighting grappler, beause of those things, in his prime I would say he was the best pound for pound figher in MMA. Sources: personal opinion.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
