By jds you mean gsp.

Hendo has never sustained anything, not like those others.

Good topic.

PEAKS?

Fedor, Anderson, GSP could all have arguments.

Probably just Fedor and Anderson though. Highest peak goes to Anderson. The guy seems untouchable. There is something prestigious about Fedor being the best of the big guys for so long though. Not p4p best, just the best. Still, I gotta go Anderson.

Then GSP.

How is Chuck's prime over Wand's? Chuck got beat by Rampage during his prime and pretty much only beat Babalu, Randy and Tito alongside some scrubs. At least Wand beat Rampage, Sak and Hendo alongside all of those Japanese scrubs.

1. Anderson
2. Fedor
3. GSP
4. Jones
5. Hughes
6. Nog
7. Hendo
8. Wand
8. Rampage
9. Chuck
10. BJ/Shogun/Aldo

I've always thought Liddell was was over-rated

Bones is the most impressive fighter I've seen to date, so he would top my list

How long is a peak? In 13 months Jones beat Shogun, Rampage, Machida, and Evans. That's pretty good.

Where does Sakuraba rank in all of this?

He's got to be considered a top 10 fighter of all-time, right?


Would love to have seen Ruuten take on W. Silva during their primes
